The Patriots are seemingly honing in on hiring Mike Vrabel as head coach after firing Jarod Mayo to begin the offseason and while nothing is set in stone, new reports suggest Vrabel could reunite with a controversial staff member should he wind up in New England.<\/p>\n

Josh McDaniels, who had two lengthy and successful stints with the franchise, was named by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN as a potential candidate to serve as Vrabel’s offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

While McDaniels has two poor stints as a head coach, he’s a proven winner as a play-caller and could be an ideal fit to complement Vrabel’s superior defensive chops provided the Patriots hire the latter.<\/p>\n

Another scenario floating: Could he bring Josh McDaniels with him? <\/p>\n
