The New England Patriots released a statement from head coach Bill Belichick on the departure of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels who was named Denver Broncos head coach.
“Josh McDaniels is one of the finest people and brightest, most talented coaches I have ever worked with. Since joining us eight years ago, Josh performed a variety of roles and excelled in every one of them. Between his work on defense, in scouting, player evaluation and coordinating the offense, Josh is a very well-rounded coach whose outstanding body of work speaks for itself. He is the product of a pure football environment which is evident in his approach to the game. On behalf of the entire Patriots organization, we thank Josh for tremendous success in New England and congratulate him and the McDaniels family for this most deserving opportunity for advancement.”
McDaniels received a 4-year contract from the Broncos and will be introduced tonight in Denver at a 7 PM EST press conference.
