Report: Josh McDaniels Expected To Stay In New England

BOSTON (CBS) -- The bright lights of an NFL head coaching job are shining on Josh McDaniels, but it doesn't look like they're bright enough to lure him out of New England.

According to a report in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, McDaniels isn't going anywhere.

McDaniels interviewed with both the Falcons and 49ers for their vacant head coaching jobs during the Patriots' playoff bye week, but a report late on Monday says the New England offensive coordinator is "expected to stay with the Patriots."

McDaniels got his NFL start in New England in 2001 as a personnel assistant. He coached multiple positions from 2002-on, and in 2006 he served as both offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach until 2008, before taking the Denver head coaching job in 2009.

He was 11-17 in his two seasons in Denver and was let go before the conclusion of the 2010 season.

McDaniels returned to an assistant role with St. Louis in 2011, and when the Rams fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo after the 2011 season, McDaniels came back to New England as an offensive assistant during the team's 2011–12 playoff run.

McDaniels resumed the role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2012 until present day after Bill O'Brien left Foxboro for Happy Valley to coach Penn State.
