New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has been named the AP Assistant Coach of the Year, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The news was announced on the red carpet during the lead-up to the NFL Honors ceremony.
McDaniels has been a vital component of the Patriots' coaching staff, overseeing an offensive unit that has consistently ranked among the most productive in the league. This recognition from the Associated Press underscores his significant role in the team's continued success and his reputation as one of the premier offensive minds in professional football.
Having returned to the Patriots organization to lead the offense, McDaniels has worked in tandem with head coach Bill Belichick to maintain a high level of execution. His play-calling and player development have been key factors in New England's ability to remain a top-tier contender in the AFC.
