Josh McDaniels is not trying to emulate Bill Belichick as he enters his new head coaching gig with the Las Vegas Raiders.
McDaniels took the job on January 30 to begin his second head coaching stint of his career. His first opportunity came with the Denver Broncos in 2009, and he finished his time in Denver in 2010.
With a refreshed approach to coaching under his belt, McDaniels admitted to reporters on Thursday that he tried to emulate the “Patriot Way” during his stint with the Broncos. Now, he realizes that it is difficult to replicate, and he will focus more on establishing his own identity as a coach, as noted in a report from the team’s official website.
