Wedged between eras and taking place in the midst of a global pandemic, the New England Patriots’ 2020 season is most notable for being the first after long-time quarterback Tom Brady’s departure. While Brady was busy adding to his legacy and leading Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl win,

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It’s for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

Drake Maye is more than familiar with his new offensive coordinator. When the quarterback came to New England last year, he dove into his new playbook but also watched game film from past Patriots seasons. As it turns out, those film sessions will come in handy this season when Maye is coached by Josh McDaniels for the first time.

Speaking for the first time since the New England Patriots hired head coach Mike Vrabel, quarterback Drake Maye says he's "excited" to work with the experienced coach and to learn from new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

Once again, Josh McDaniels will fill the New England Patriots offensive coordinator position. As expected, the team is hiring McDaniels after speaking with him Tuesday, according to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. The Patriots made the move official on Wednesday.

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.

"His system is pretty much all systems in one." The post Why Josh McDaniels’s diverse system is perfect for the Patriots appeared first on Boston.com.

While a lot of the attention in New England is centered on new head coach Mike Vrabel, one of his assistant coaches might have a larger impact on the Patriots' most prized possession.
