Sorry to start another candidate thread, but the info on this guy is interesting.It would be nice if Hamilton would take a look at him.Plus he's only 32
McDaniels began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Michigan State University from 1999 to 2000 under Nick Saban.
McDaniels joined the Patriots in 2001 as a personnel assistant. From 2002 to 2003, he served as a defensive coaching assistant for the team, working with the defensive backs in 2003. In 2004, he became the team's quarterbacks coach. After offensive coordinator Charlie Weis left the team following the 2004 season, the Patriots went without an offensive coordinator for the 2005 season, though it is suspected that McDaniels called the offensive plays for the season.[1] After the season, McDaniels was officially promoted to offensive coordinator, while retaining his responsibilities coaching the team's quarterbacks.
In the 2007 NFL season, with McDaniels at the helm of the offense, the Patriots set NFL records, scoring 75 touchdowns (67 on offense, 50 passing and 17 rushing) and 589 points, leading to rumors that McDaniels might leave the Patriots for a head coaching job.[2]
