New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels seems to be squarely in the mix with the Las Vegas Raiders, who have requested to interview him for their head coaching gig, per multiple reports.
The Raiders also showed interest in Patriots executive Dave Zeigler, New England’s director of player personnel. Zeigler and McDaniels could end up being a package deal — potentially continuing the perennial trend of Patriots staffers getting promotions elsewhere.
McDaniels spent time as the Denver Broncos head coach (2009-2010) and was nearly the coach for the Indianapolis Colts, but he backed out at the last minute. He has been New England’s offensive coordinator from 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to the present. He was also the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams in 2011.
