Two years after leaving the Indianapolis Colts at the proverbial altar, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is again creating considerable buzz as a head coaching candidate. So far, three teams who currently have vacancies at the position have asked the organization to interview the 43-year-old: the Cleveland Browns, the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers have all expressed interest in potentially hiring McDaniels.
McDaniels is no stranger to this kind of popularity and the process it brings. Besides almost joining the Colts, he also previously worked as head coach for the Denver Broncos and has had numerous other interviews throughout the years — for good reason: he usually has the Patriots offense among the most potent and best coached in all of football, despite the inconsistent 2019 season being a bit of an anomaly for him and his group.
