Patriots Talk: Would Josh McDaniels leave to take Jaguars head coach job?

The Josh McDaniels rumor mill has started up early this year.

That's because there's an enticing opening in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars fired head coach Urban Meyer after a disastrous 13-game tenure. The Jaguars boast a talented young quarterback in Trevor Lawrence, and the opportunity to coach the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft definitely may appeal to McDaniels.

Would McDaniels leave his current post, though? The 45-year-old has had considerable success working with rookie quarterback Mac Jones as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, guiding New England to a 9-4 record entering Week 15.
