Patriots impact of Josh McDaniels missing out on Browns job

Josh McDaniels is staying in New England… at least for now.

The Cleveland Browns have officially offered former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski their head coaching job. Stefanski will replace Freddie Kitchens, who was fired by the organization after just one year at the helm.

The news likely means that McDaniels will stay with the Patriots.

It doesn’t make sense for the 43-year-old Ohio native to make a lateral move to another franchise as offensive coordinator; the only logical reason for McDaniels to leave Foxborough is if he were to accept a head coach job elsewhere.
