NFL insider Adam Schefter said on WEEI that just because Josh McDaniels had failures as a coach doesn’t mean they will carry over in his return to the Patriots as OC.

Josh McDaniels is reportedly returning to the New England Patriots for a third stint as offensive coordinator. NFL insider Kirk Minihane reported the news everyone expected to come at some point, even though coach Mike Vrabel said he’d consider multiple candidates for the job.

McDaniels agreed Tuesday night to become the Patriots’ offensive coordinator again, a source confirmed to the Globe. It’s the same role McDaniels had from 2006-08 and 2012-21, when he was essentially the “head coach” of the offense for Bill Belichick and was a crucial piece of the dynasty.
