The Patriots are reportedly hiring Josh McDaniels as the team's offensive coordinator, marking his third stint in Foxborough.

Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has agreed to become the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the contract was being finalized.

The Patriots interviewed Josh McDaniels on Tuesday. Not surprisingly, they are expected to hire McDaniels as their offensive coordinator, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. McDaniels returns to a familiar job. He previously held that role from 2006-08 before becoming the Broncos’ head coach and from 2012-21 before taking over the Raiders.

According to a source, the Patriots interviewed Josh McDaniels for their vacant offensive coordinator job. McDaniels, 48, has never worked on the same staff as Vrabel but he was a coach in New England when the former outside linebacker played.

Josh McDaniels is joining Vrabel’s coaching staff as New England’s offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. A six-time Super Bowl champion as an assistant coach, McDaniels is best known as Bill Belichick’s longtime offensive playcaller.

Josh McDaniels reportedly is set to join Mike Vrabel's staff as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, marking his third stint with the organization.

The 48-year-old McDaniels will play a critical role in building the offense, with Mike Vrabel expected to focus more on game management and situational awareness.
