Report: McDaniels Set To Interview With Panthers, Giants & Browns This Week
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots season is over. That has opened the door for Josh McDaniels to have some head coaching interviews this week.
With no Patriots game to plan for, McDaniels will have his three interviews this week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McDaniels will kick off his week by interviewing with the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, followed by the New York Giants on Wednesday, and he'll conclude his week by meeting with his hometown Cleveland Browns on Friday.
Update: Carolina is reportedly set to hire Baylor's Matt Rhule, so that McDaniels interview will not be happening on Tuesday.
Another Update: McDaniels will not be interviewing with the Giants, either, as they've hired Patriots special teams/wide receivers coach Joe Judge for their head coaching vacancy.
McDaniels has been calling the shots for New England's offense since 2012, when he started his second stint on the Patriots sideline alongside Bill Belichick. He was head coach of the Denver Broncos from 2009-2010, but was fired during his second season after a 3-9 start, finishing his only stint as a head coach at 11-17. He was set to become head coach of the Indianapolis Colts two years ago, but backed out of the job after Robert Kraft offered to make him the highest-paid offensive coordinator in football.
According to a report last week, McDaniels has already started to round up assistant coaches for his next staff.
