When the Patriots opted to re-hire Josh McDaniels as their offensive coordinator, some speculated that the decision was thrust on Mike Vrabel by ownership.
However, Robert Kraft claimed that wasn’t the case. Speaking to reporters in New Orleans on the eve of Super Bowl LIV, the Patriots owner said that Vrabel mentioned the possibility of hiring McDaniels when he interviewed to become the team’s next head coach.
“When we interviewed Mike and asked whom he might be interested in bringing on, without a pause, his first one was to bring Josh McDaniels because he thought it would be something very special for Drake,” Kraft said, via The Boston Globe‘s Nicole Yang.
