Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has agreed to become the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the contract was being finalized.

Josh McDaniels is the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots once again. McDaniels has been hired by New England after interviewing with new head coach Mike Vrabel for the role on Tuesday.

McDaniels joins a staff that is being constructed by new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who like McDaniels was part of several Super Bowl-winning teams in New England. Vrabel and McDaniels were together in New England from 2001-08,
