New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick stayed true to form when asked about a possible reunion with recently fired Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels.
“Just getting ready for Washington,” Belichick said, when speaking with media members on Wednesday morning.
Leave it to Belichick not to show his hand on game week. However, to be fair, the news of McDaniels’ firing came late Tuesday night, and everyone involved is still taking in everything that happened.
McDaniels, along with general manager Dave Ziegler and offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi, were all fired by the Raiders.
Bill Belichick on if the #Patriots would consider bringing back Josh McDaniels following being fired by the #Raiders:

Naturally, it would make sense for the Patriots to reach out to McDaniels once the dust settles to potentially come on as a senior offensive adviser. Fans are already reacting to the possibility of a reunion on social media.
It’s no secret that Mac Jones played his best stretch of football as a rookie under McDaniels as his offensive coordinator. The now third-year quarterback threw for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and made the Pro Bowl.
The combination of McDaniels and Bill O’Brien under the hood could only mean good things for the struggling Patriots offense at this point.
