Returning to the New England Patriots for his third stint as the team’s offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels is quite the familiar face on the sideline in Foxboro. His offensive staff, however, is anything but.
As the Patriots filled out the offensive staff this winter, they did so with nine additional coaches who have never worked under McDaniels. That has led to a collaborative approach in forming a new-look version of McDaniels’ typical offense.
“That’s kudos to Josh, because he’s had a ton of success in his past and he’s been very open to the new schemes and new systems and new techniques,” quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant said.
