McDaniels, though, as pointed out by Boston Sports Journals\u2019 Mike Giardi, was referring to when he picked Vrabel up from the airport during Vrabel\u2019s playing days.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel signed with the Patriots before the 2001 campaign and played his next eight seasons in Foxboro, Mass. McDaniels served as a personnel assistant for the Patriots in 2001, his first of 19 seasons in the organization.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniels was considered the favorite to land the Patriots offensive coordinator job as soon as Vrabel was hired. However, if McDaniels really picked Vrabel up from the airport in such a situation, given McDaniels wasn\u2019t yet employed by the team, it would\u2019ve been quite a tell. It also would have been a slap in the face to those who interviewed with the Patriots for the job McDaniels ultimately received.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, Vrabel and McDaniels are both employees of the Patriots again. But it\u2019s not because of any pitch McDaniels made to Vrabel during a car ride from Logan Airport this month.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had New England fans going wild with something he said in a video posted by the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
