Why bringing back ex-Raiders coach Josh McDaniels would make sense for the Patriots

Ever since Josh McDaniels left the New England Patriots to become the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach, the arrow has been pointing in the wrong direction for Mac Jones. After he had one of the better rookie quarterback seasons in recent memory under McDaniels, he has struggled to even maintain his level of play let alone show significant improvement.

21 months after McDaniels’ departure, there is a chance at a reunion. The Raiders announced on Tuesday night that they had relieved him and general manager Dave Ziegler of their duties.

McDaniels leaves his turbulent tenure in Las Vegas with a 9-16 record, and is now a 20-33 in his career as a head coach.
