Multiple reports Tuesday saying Josh McDaniels is returning to the Patriots.
Viewed as a favorite for the job, the Pats are reportedly hiring McDaniels as offensive coordinator on Mike Vrabel's new coaching staff.
This is set to be the third stint as the O.C. in New England for McDaniels.
He previously was elevated to the job in 2006 & returned to the organization in 2012.
McDaniels has been a head coach twice in the NFL now in Denver & Las Vegas.
