The Patriots are reportedly hiring Josh McDaniels as the team's offensive coordinator, marking his third stint in Foxborough.

Josh McDaniels and Mike Vrabel were together on what came close to being regarded as the NFL's best team of all-time.

Josh McDaniels is joining Vrabel’s coaching staff as New England’s offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. A six-time Super Bowl champion as an assistant coach, McDaniels is best known as Bill Belichick’s longtime offensive playcaller.

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.

The Patriots interviewed Josh McDaniels on Tuesday. Not surprisingly, they are expected to hire McDaniels as their offensive coordinator, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. McDaniels returns to a familiar job. He previously held that role from 2006-08 before becoming the Broncos’ head coach and from 2012-21 before taking over the Raiders.

The Patriots announced that McDaniels has been hired as the offensive coordinator on new head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff on Wednesday. It is the third time that McDaniel has served in the role as he had two stints working for Bill Belichick and was part of six Super Bowl winners in New England.

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.
