Pro: 49ers Could Target Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels

Current New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will be a hot commodity this offseason.

True, McDaniels’ last head coaching tenure with the Denver Broncos didn’t go so well. But before, and since, he’s had the chance to work with one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, Tom Brady, and has maximized the efforts of Brady’s supporting cast.

Simply put, McDaniels learned from his mistakes in Denver. Just like Pats head coach Bill Belichick likely learned from his failed time with the Cleveland Browns.

McDaniels would probably have an easier time assembling a staff as well. San Francisco wouldn’t have to scramble for assistants much either.
