McDaniels left the Patriots to become the Broncos head coach in 2009. He then returned to New England (after being fired by Denver and joining the St. Louis coaching staff) as an offensive assistant for the Super Bowl in the 2011-2012 season before being named to his current role of offensive coordinator.
