Josh McDaniels Heading To New England

Friday the St. Louis Rams gave permission to the New England Patriots to interview Josh McDaniels. This is another sign that the St. Louis Rams could be very close to signing Jeff Fisher as their next head coach. Jeff Fisher would not be inclined to keep McDaniels who has one year left on his contract with the Rams.

Adam Schefter reports that the New England Patriots are expected to hire McDaniels as an offensive assistant. McDaniels will reportedly assist the team during their playoff run. It does upset me that the Rams are helping out the Patriots but to get the deal done with Fisher this is the price they may have to pay.

With Bill O'Brien accepting the head coaching position at Penn State this also opens the door for Josh McDaniels to become the next Offensive Coordinator of the New England Patriots.
