The Patriots are bringing back Josh McDaniels for his third go-around as the offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports on Tuesday. McDaniels held the same role from 2006-2008 after working his way up from a personnel assistant and then again from 2012 to 2022.

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 Mike Vrabel-led New England Patriots will rely on a familiar face to revive their offense. Josh McDaniels is set to join Vrabel’s staff as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
