The Patriots are back in action this week, which means that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels won’t be interviewing for any head coaching jobs around the league.
He was allowed to take those interviews last week and had a couple of them before moving on to preparations for the Ravens. McDaniels spoke to the Falcons and the 49ers about their openings and said Monday that he thought both interviews went well before making it clear that this week’s game was a bigger focus than a potential new job.
“They were fine. It’s part of the process and privileged any time anybody wants to speak with you about anything like that. But at this point, I’ve moved on and hopefully help us put together a great plan for our guys heading into this week,” McDaniels said, via the Boston Herald. “Honestly, it’s just an initial meeting with them. It hasn’t gone any farther in either direction. So, I’m back to focusing on the next task at hand for us, which is the Ravens. I’m sure they’ll need to do what they need to do on their end. I’m sure those things will take care of themselves in the future.”
McDaniels can’t interview with teams again until the Patriots are finished playing, but the door seems to be open to more talks should either team want to continue the process with McDaniels. We should have a better idea of their intentions in the
