Josh McDaniels (born April 21, 1976) is an American football coach, currently serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the New England Patriots. He is in his second stint as offensive coordinator in New England, having begun his career there in 2001 as a personnel assistant, eventually serving as offensive coordinator from 2006-2008. In 2009, McDaniels was hired as the head coach of the Denver Broncos. At the time of his hiring, 33 year-old McDaniels was the youngest head coach in the NFL, although less than a week later the Tampa Bay Buccaneers named Raheem Morris, who is two months younger, as their head coach. McDaniels was fired by Denver after a 3-9 start in 2010. He spent the 2011 season as offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams, but was released by the Rams for the 2011-12 NFL playoffs to serve as an offensive assistant for the Patriots in their run to Super Bowl XLVI.
