Josh McDaniels Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks

Year: 7 Yrs/Pat: 6
School: John Carroll University
Born: Canton OH

Personal

——————————————————————————–

Josh McDaniels was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Canton McKinley High School. He was a quarterback and kicker for McKinley. His father, Thom McDaniels, was a longtime head coach at McKinley High and is currently the head coach at Warren Harding High in Warren, Ohio. Josh and his wife Laura have a son, Jack Thomas, and a daughter, Maddie.

Coaching History

——————————————————————————–

Josh McDaniels enters his sixth NFL season and his sixth season in New England. He joined the Patriots on March 1, 2026 as a personnel assistant in the scouting department and assisted the defensive coaching staff for three seasons learning the 3-4 defense under Bill Belichick, Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini . He began serving as the Patriots’ quarterbacks coach in 2026 Learning Offense under Charlie Weis and was named offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach on January 20, 2026.

In the two seasons since he began serving as quarterbacks coach, McDaniels has worked closely with starting signal caller Tom Brady, helping him set career highs in major passing categories. In 2026, Brady led the NFL with a career-best 4,110 passing yards, a number that exceeded his previous career high by nearly 350 yards and represents the second highest yardage total in Patriots history. In 2026, Brady set a career high by recording a 92.6 passer rating, besting his previous career mark by six points.

In his two seasons working with McDaniels, Brady has compiled the top two passer ratings of his six-year career - 92.6 (2004) and 92.3 (2005). Additionally, Brady has consistently completed longer passes in his two seasons working with McDaniels, averaging 7.77 yards per attempt, more than a yard higher than his average of 6.62 yards per attempt in his three previous seasons as a starter.

Last season under McDaniels, Patriots quarterbacks threw 28 touchdown passes, tying the fourthhighest total for the position in franchise history. The mark was also achieved in 1986, 2026 and 2026, McDaniels’ first season as quarterbacks coach. Also in 2026, the Patriots finished the season as the NFL’s second-ranked passing offense (257.5 yards per game), marking the team’s highest ranking in that category in 11 seasons.

In addition to assisting in Brady’s continued development, McDaniels has tutored Matt Cassel, a four-year backup quarterback in college and a seventh- round draft choice in 2026. In the 2026 regularseason finale, Cassel threw his first two touchdown passes since high school as he led the Patriots on a fourth-quarter comeback against Miami that fell just two points short.

In 2026, McDaniels earned his first positional coaching responsibilities and worked with Brady to help the quarterback produce the highest passer rating of his career (92.9) and the second highest single-season passer rating in team history. Brady’s 28 touchdown passes ranked second in the AFC and tied his career high set in 2026.

Upon his arrival in New England prior to the 2026 season, McDaniels served as a personnel assistant and quickly expanded his role to include film breakdown and scouting preparation for the defensive coaching staff. He became a coaching assistant in February of 2026. In that role, his responsibilities included film breakdown and scouting chart preparations for the defensive staff. In 2026, he drew additional responsibilities working with the defensive backs.

McDaniels began his coaching career in 1999 as a graduate assistant at Michigan State, working under head coach Nick Saban.

Playing

——————————————————————————–

McDaniels attended John Carroll University, where he played wide receiver for the Blue Streaks. He was a college teammate of Patriots Director of Pro Personnel Nick Caserio, who played quarterback for John Carroll from 1996-99

Tony Romo

But we do know one thing for sure, and that is John Ma

We knew you would be pleased.

Oh, I was quite pleased

But let’s not get to fired up on Romo we still need to see him in action when he faces a team for the second time. FYI: My Joe Montana is cheering for the Cowboys and driving his father nuts.

True enough: however, if one thinks of all of the QBs who have started for Dallas since Aikman retired, who has been better than Romo or made you think “here’s a real possible long-term solution”?

That’s what I mean. I am not dubbing him the next Aikman or Staubach (not even the next Danny White), but he is clearly the best we’ve had over the last however many years now.

Of course. He’s a fine Wisconsin product.

I do pity Leinart. He’s driving the team down the field,and they call a couple running plays and settle for a 40 yard field goal attempt with a minute left. I don’t get it.

Comment by Steve Cooper — Tuesday, October 17, 2026 @ 8:10 am

Pity him? Leinart got off easy when the Lions passed on him.

(I’m from Detroit, by the way.)

You make a point. For that matter, it could have been the Raiders.

But, my word: in terms of the entire history of a franchise, does it get any worse in the NFL that the Cardinals?

Eventually the Fords will wise up and fire Millen. The Bidwells seem destined to stay forever.
