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.

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.

Mike Vrabel said he's excited to work with his new offensive and defensive coordinators, in his first interview since hiring Josh McDaniels and Terrell Williams.
