faba Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Pats make Daniels the league's youngest coordinatorAssociated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots promoted 29-year-old quarterbacks coach Josh McDaniels to offensive coordinator Friday, making him the youngest coordinator in the NFL. Charlie Weis left as coordinator after the 2004 season to become coach at Notre Dame, and no one took his place in 2005. McDaniels and coach Bill Belichick split most of the play-calling duties. McDaniels joined the Patriots in 2001 as an assistant in the scouting department and was a member of the defensive coaching staff for three seasons before becoming quarterbacks coach in 2004. That year, quarterback Tom Brady produced the highest rating of his career, 92.9, which was also the second-highest single-season passer rating in team history. Brady's 28 touchdown passes ranked second in the AFC and tied his career high from 2002. The move is the latest shuffling on the Patriots' staff. Earlier this week, linebackers coach Dean Pees was appointed defensive coordinator, replacing Eric Mangini, who left to become coach of the New York Jets after one season as New England defensive coordinator. The 35-year-old Mangini is the youngest head coach in the NFL. Mangini, in turn, replaced Romeo Crennel, who left after the 2004 season to become coach of the Cleveland Browns. The Patriots, winners of three of the past four Super Bowls, were eliminated by the Denver Broncos last Sunday in the second round of the playoffs.

Maxman Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 This is great news. He is 29, so when Mangini leaves to coach the Pats in 5 years we can hire him. Our 2nd 34 year old coach in a row. Just great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it was BB's complete arrogance why he didn't name an OC last year. Also, the Pats offense was more productive last season then any years CW was the OC. At least get your facts straight Max. Unlike the Jets, the Pats will reload instead of rebuild this offseason. Another deep playoff run next season is an absolute guarantee. Live with it.

GimmeShelter Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Good move by the Pats. He basically acted as OC this year and he called all the plays (other than Brady at the LOS). From his press conference. Did you call all of the plays last year? "Bill [belichick] is responsible for whatever ends up being given to the quarterback and goes into the game to be called. We worked together on that as a staff. However it ends up getting in to Tommy [brady] or the quarterback that was in the game, Bill is responsible for that. That's about all I can say on that."

Another deep playoff run next season is an absolute guarantee. Live with it. The Pats passing offense was more productive because they could not run and couldn't keep the better offenses off the scoreboard. Look at Brady's road numbers if you think he was in better hands with ole Josh compared to Charlie. I love Brady but even the Herald(below) gives him mixed reviews and acknowledges he could have used a coordinator. Quarterbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Shelter, because sometime during the middle of the season, at one of his press conferences, BB said that McDaniels was responsible for calling the plays. Keep in mind, Brady called/changed a ton of plays at the LOS this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Look at Brady's road numbers if you think he was in better hands with ole Josh compared to Charlie. Shelter, Please explain to me why one OC versus another would have an impact on Brady's road games versus his home games? Brady's best two games of the year came on the road versus the Steelers (which he won single-handidly) and the Falcons. Not sure I see your point at all.

Live with it. yeah, "productive" meaning they were behind so often that Brady had to throw 4000 yards, rather than run out the clock with a decent sized lead in seasons past they didn't have enough offense to win a superbowl either, something they had with Charley Wizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was an abbreation in the Patriots' dynasty. The offense with the exception of last year had been in the teens in yardage and points. Only last year with a productive running game did it become dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing mate, but you can't win the Super Bowl every year. For crissakes we made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs and only lost because we turned the ball over 5 fricken times. BB did a great job this year. He cut, I mean placed, Duane "highway" Starks on IR earlier this year because he sucked ass. He realised his mistake and took care of it. The Pats were lucky to make the Playoffs with the brutal schedule to start the season and all of the injuries. Don't you wish the Jets could have had coaching like that?

Gainzo Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Tx, I've been working and looking at the board but as you know I only chime in when I have something to say. And all I have to say is that the Jets are in turmoil right now and I love it. The OC is pissed, the DC was fired, and 35 year-old Mangini is running the show. New England Patriots: 2006 AFCE Champs........... Because we all know that Jets fans love their two Division titles! If it is three let me know. Of course I'm not counting preseason titles!

GoJETS Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 BB is the HC and has final say. He probably let him call most of the plays but remember this, BB was and is in every meeting when they work on the game plans (offense and defense). A big factor in the lack of a running game had a lot to do with Dillon being hurt and his backup, Kevin Faulk being out for most of the season and the "metaphors" being a little weak and banged up... just like our Jets unfortunately we didn't have Tom Brady!

Green DNA Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 4 AFCE titles and 2 AFC Championship titles. I obviously can't defend the Jets record, but the Pats were mediocre for most of their existence and winning the division once every ten years or so is not exactly something to brag about. The past 4 years of course, is something to brag about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
