Patriots named Josh McDaniels offensive coordinator.
He succeeds Bill O'Brien, who left for Penn State. McDaniels was New England's offensive coordinator in 2006, 2007, and 2008. In 2008, he oversaw a unit that lost Tom Brady to a season-ending knee injury in Week 1 yet still finished fifth in the NFL in total offense. McDaniels' 2007 offense finished first in overall offense and first in passing. McDaniels has placed an emphasis on utilizing a vertical passing game, specifically with Randy Moss and Brandon Lloyd as big-time and heavily targeted vertical threats. We suspect he will push for the addition of a true No. 1 wideout this offseason.
