McDaniels back as offensive coordinator, Belichick confirms

Found February 06, 2012 on Projo Pats Blog:
PLAYERS: Josh Mcdaniels
TEAMS: New England Patriots,  Penn State Nittany Lions

By Carolyn Thornton In a most informal announcement, Belichick confirmed Monday that Josh McDaniels has been appointed to replace Bill O'Brien as the Patriots' offensive coordinator.

"When will you announce the succession plan for Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator?" a reporter asked.

"It's Josh," Belichick said.

Of course, the announcement came as little surprise.

The Patriots brought back McDaniels shortly after O'Brien announced early last month that he was leaving at the end of the season to become the new head coach at Penn State.

A member of the New England coaching staff from 2001-2008, McDaniels served as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the last three of those seasons, including New England's record-setting season in 2007.

The New York Giants have won Super Bowl XLVI. Or, you might say, the New England Patriots lost it. While every losing team comes off a game thinking about missed plays that might have made a difference, the well-coached Patriots are usually a team without regrets. Not so this week, not for Wes Welker, whose key fourth-quarter drop changed the complexion of the game and opened...

There was a scary moment in last night’s Super Bowl XLVI, when QB Tom Brady was crushed by Giants DL Justin Tuck. He got up shaky, and doctors surrounded him. Quickly, backup Brian Hoyer began to throw. Brady ended up going back in, but he finished 7 for his last 17, and he wasn’t the same. After the game, I asked Hoyer what those moments were like. “I just gotta...
