Josh McDaniels is officially a free agent.
The longtime Patriots offensive coordinator was fired from his most recent post as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders early Wednesday morning — ending an unceremonious run that didn’t even last two seasons.
After two disastrous stints as a head coach in both Denver (2009-10) and now Las Vegas, McDaniels’ job prospects will likely center around the offensive side of the ball — be it in a staff role or as a coordinator.
Given McDaniels’ familiarity with Bill Belichick and the Patriots, could he make yet another return to Foxborough in the months ahead?
