He coached with them from 2001-08, beginning as a personnel assistant and becoming offensive coordinator.

He left to coach the Broncos but was fired during his second season with the AFC West team.

He returned to the Patriots staff in 2012 and coached with them through 2021, serving as their offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

McDaniels was part of all six of the Patriots Super Bowl teams.
