The Las Vegas Raiders have hired former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their next head coach. The Raiders officially announced the hiring in a press conference on Monday.
"It was going to take a special place for me to leave where I was. ... This is one of those iconic places, a historic organization," McDaniels told reporters.
McDaniels has spent the last 10 seasons as Patriots OC. He had joined the New England organization in 2001 and held the same position from 2006 to 2008 after working his way up the coaching staff.
