After a week of rumors and whispers, the Eagles appear to have their sights set on one man in the search to replace Doug Pederson. That man is Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and on the surface, it may seem like a smart move…but there’s more to this than meets the eye.
McDaniels is one of Bill Belichick’s most-trusted disciples and that trust wasn’t built overnight. He’s been New England’s offensive coordinator for 13 years and as we all know, there has been a lot of success in that time. In fact, as Peter Kind alluded to, the Patriots had a top-10 offense in 12 of his 13 seasons as offensive coordinator.
