The New England Patriots have stayed busy over recent weeks by bringing in several new faces in the building to help lead this new regime on both the coaching and executive staff. Most recently, the Patriots have brought another executive into the office who's expected to be Mike Vrabel's unofficial "right-hand man.

Vrabel said on sports radio WEEI that he has a "long list" and confirmed it includes former Las Vegas Raiders head coach and Patriots coordinator Josh McDaniels, who still lives in the region and last worked with the Patriots in 2021 when he worked wonders with then-rookie Mac Jones.

On Wednesday, the New England Patriots officially announced Josh McDaniels as their new offensive coordinator, succeeding Alex Van Pelt, who is gone after just one season.
