With offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien agreeing to become Penn State's next head coach, New England now is expected to hire Rams offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as an offensive assistant coach, according to an NFL source.

McDaniels will likely succeed O'Brien as the Patriots offensive coordinator next season, but he was to begin working immediately for the Patriots this season, returning to the team he left to take a head coaching job with the Broncos in 2009, the source said.

O'Brien will work as the Patriots offensive coordinator for the remainder of this season.

But McDaniels truly will have gone from worst to first overnight, leaving the Rams and being a part of the Patriots team preparing for next weekend's divisional playoff game.

[Chun Liroy]

Wasn't Josh under Bill earlier in his coaching career? Or who was Josh under?

[Cail]

yea, he used to be there too

per wiki:

McDaniels joined the Patriots in 2001 as a personnel assistant. From 2002 to 2003, he served as a defensive coaching assistant for the team, working with the defensive backs in 2003. In 2004, he became the team's quarterbacks coach. McDaniels was with the New England Patriots for all three of their Super Bowl championships, Super Bowl XXXVI, Super Bowl XXXVIII, and Super Bowl XXXIX. After offensive coordinator Charlie Weis left the team following the 2004 season, the Patriots did not name an offensive coordinator for the 2005 season. According to The New York Times, in 2008, it was McDaniels who called the offensive plays for the 2005 season, although suggestions to that effect were made in 2005.[2][4] After the season, McDaniels was officially promoted to offensive coordinator, while retaining his responsibilities coaching the team's quarterbacks.

In the 2007 season, with McDaniels at the helm of the offense, the Patriots set NFL records, scoring 75 touchdowns (67 on offense, 50 passing and 17 rushing) and 589 points, leading to rumors that McDaniels might leave the Patriots for a head coaching job.[5] McDaniels withdrew his name from consideration, however, during the Patriots' January 2008 playoff run. Shortly after the Patriots' loss in Super Bowl XLII, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave McDaniels a five-page typed report on what it takes to be an effective head coach and run a winning organization, which McDaniels termed "his bible." Throughout the 2008 season, the two would meet to discuss the report and allow McDaniels to ask non-coaching questions that he brought to later head coaching interviews.[6]

In the 2008 season, McDaniels led the offense to an 11-5 record with quarterback Matt Cassel, after starter Tom Brady suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1.

Why would Spags go to the Jets or Cowboys? He wouldn't call defense on either team. Maybe he can't even get a coordinator job and has to take a job as a position and assistant head coach (they usually grant that title to position coaches who recently lost their HC jobs).

Hence, lolwut. Cowboys already have an asst. head coach in the packers old WR coach.

[Chun Liroy]

[Demosthenes11]

bill definitely calls plays for the offense leroy

[Chun Liroy]

I'm confused, or are you just dumb?

[Demosthenes11]

I'm confused, or are you just dumb?

why does this confuse you? Bill calls the offensive plays currently

[Chun Liroy]

But Bill is a mastermind genius who can do no wrong!

[Chun Liroy]

Are you saying Josh McDaniels transcends Bill?

[Demosthenes11]

But Bill is a mastermind genius who can do no wrong!

? Bill is a pretty good OC, but I don't think he is a mastermind genius or anything. Sad to see him go though.

Sucks that he died bro

[Demosthenes11]

I don't think leroy has ever watched a patriot game.

BB does not call the offense. In fact, he is rarely watching the game when the offense is out on the field.
BO'B does call the offense and does a pretty good job. Mcdaniels was superior in playcalling, however.

Talks are, brandon lloyd wants to follow josh. Bye ocho

[Chun Liroy]

Why would I watch a patriots game? More specifically, why would I watch the sideline of a patriots game.

[Cail]

Talks are, brandon lloyd wants to follow josh.
