Josh McDaniels is reportedly returning to the New England Patriots for a third stint as offensive coordinator. NFL insider Kirk Minihane reported the news everyone expected to come at some point, even though coach Mike Vrabel said he’d consider multiple candidates for the job.

Josh McDaniels is headed back to New England for a third stint as the Patriots' offensive coordinator. Here's why the Patriots hired him:

NFL insider Adam Schefter said on WEEI that just because Josh McDaniels had failures as a coach doesn’t mean they will carry over in his return to the Patriots as OC.

The Patriots are reportedly expected to hire Josh McDaniels as the offensive coordinator on Mike Vrabel's staff. Here's what to know.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has filled out his staff, hiring longtime Bill Belichick assistant Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator.

With New England going down a familiar path with McDaniels, this leaves Udinski open as an option should the Seahawks believe he is their guy. Udinski is seen as a rising star. Hiring him would signal Mike Macdonald and Seattle want potential and to keep the youth movement on their coaching staff alive and well.

The New England Patriots are bringing back Josh McDaniels, as the former OC is returning to the team to coach.

McDaniels agreed Tuesday night to become the Patriots’ offensive coordinator again, a source confirmed to the Globe. It’s the same role McDaniels had from 2006-08 and 2012-21, when he was essentially the “head coach” of the offense for Bill Belichick and was a crucial piece of the dynasty.

Former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, a guest on “Eye on Foxborough,” believes McDaniels is the right man for the job.

Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel has announced the first three members of his 2025 coaching staff with the hiring of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator, Terrell Williams as defensive coordinator and the return of Jeremy Springer as special teams coordinator.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has made his second big hire, snagging another former Detroit Lions coach for his defensive coordinator.
