New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was in the mix to join the Las Vegas Raiders, and was so confident in his chances that he began making calls around the league to see if he could start assembling a staff, according to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur.
But McDaniels doesn’t appear to be the top candidate. “Something happened,” Tafur wrote.
What? Well, that’s unclear. McDaniels is no longer the front-runner for the gig. The Raiders had shown interest in both McDaniels and Patriots executive Dave Zeigler, according to multiple reports. But Vegas seems less interested in bringing aboard that tandem than was initially reported.
