Josh McCown worked with Drake Maye in high school, but he reportedly won't be lured to New England to be an offensive coordinator.

Kelly and Vrabel also have history. They both served as members of Bill O’Brien’s staff with the Houston Texans. Kelly rose up the ranks to offensive coordinator there and survived O’Brien’s firing but not David Culley’s a year later. Vrabel hired him in Tennessee, where he served as passing game coordinator in 2022 and OC in 2023.

The Patriots should make previous offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels the next play caller under new head coach Mike Vrabel. McDaniels could usher Drake Maye into elite quarterbacking in 2025.

New Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has confirmed that he's considering hiring Josh McDaniels as his offensive coordinator, but he says there are lots of other candidates for the job as well.

The New England Patriots are swapping one of their former linebackers for another, as the franchise announced on Sunday that they had agreed to terms with Mike Vrabel to be the Patriots' 16th head coach.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter told the WEEI Afternoon Show on Wednesday that former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is a “completely logical” choice for Mike Vrabel as his offensive coordinator in 2025.

"He helped out Tom Brady tremendously. Josh McDaniels has a full grasp of the offense." The post Rob Gronkowski: Patriots hiring Josh McDaniels would bring Drake Maye to ‘another level’ appeared first on Boston.

Count James White among those wanting to see Josh McDaniels become the next offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots. Appearing on the new episode of the Money Down Podcast, he spoke in favor of McDaniels.
