Joshua Thomas McDaniels (born April 22, 1976) is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He began his NFL career in 2001 with the New England Patriots, where he served as the offensive coordinator for 14 non-consecutive seasons.
What was Josh Mcdaniels’ record as a head coach?
During McDaniels’ first stint as offensive coordinator from 2006 to 2008, New England set the record for points scored, and in 2007, became the first team in NFL history to win all 16 regular season games.
In his second stint from 2012 to 2021, the Patriots won three Super Bowl titles in Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl LI, and Super Bowl LIII. McDaniels was also among the Patriots personnel to be present for all six of their titles during the Brady–Belichick era
That performance made McDaniels a strong head coaching candidate, but the then-31-year-old decided to stay with the Patriots in 2008. He helped lead the team to another top-five offense and an 11-5 record during that season with Matt Cassel at quarterback. After that, he felt he was ready to make the jump to a head coaching job.
