This year was Josh McDaniels’ 17th season with the National Football League’s New England Patriots team and his 12th as offensive coordinator. McDaniels has been part of six Super Bowl championships with New England and has guided the offense to eight top-10 rankings, including the NFL's top ranked offense in 2007, 2012 and 2017. Under McDaniels' guidance, Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady broke the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season (50) and led the league in both passing yards (4,806) and passer rating (117.2). Brady also set franchise marks in nearly every major passing category, while wide receivers Wes Welker set the franchise record for receptions in a season (112) and Randy Moss broke the NFL record for touchdown receptions with 23 under McDaniels. McDaniels also served as the head coach of the Denver Broncos from 2009-2010 and was the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams in 2011. He attended John Carroll University, where he played quarterback and wide receiver for the Blue Streaks from 1995-98.
