Mac Jones Reacts To Josh McDaniels Leaving Patriots For Raiders

Mac Jones and Josh McDaniels worked really good together. The offensive coordinator led the New England Patriots to a seven-game winning streak. The Patriots won a lot of games thanks to McDaniels’ great effort with the rookie. Well, McDaniels is on his way out of New England. Head coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots organization will have to find a new offensive coordinator. McDaniels interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and he is their head coach now.

McDaniels didn’t get many interview requests this year. However, he had this interview just because he was sure about the job. There were so many rumors about McDaniels’ departure from New England. He was linked with so many teams. Belichick didn’t want to give up on his skilled assistant. McDaniels is really talented and now he has a chance to coach his own team. How do Patriots players feel about this?

“I think Josh is not only a great coach but a great person,” Jones told Adam Schefter. “He means a lot to the Patriot organization and obviously he got a great opportunity here. He taught me a lot about football, a lot about life, a lot about the NFL. That’s really important to me. I know he means a lot to a lot of people and I’m happy for him and his family. We’ll just have to figure out a game plan and move forward and try and be explosive on offense and can get something going again like we did with Josh.”

The Patriots have to find the right replacement for McDaniels. He spent a lot of time with the team and replacing him will be a huge challenge for the team.

Several names have been thrown to the mix of rumors. Bill O’Brien may be the most realistic option for the Patriots at the moment. He is an excellent coach despite some of the situations with his teams. Adam Gase is another option for the Patriots. It’s a long offseason for everyone.
