Re: Crap, McDaniels May be Raider Top Choice Now
McDaniels is 30. Here's what the Herald's Patriots blog has to say:
Quote:
The NFL Network is now reporting that Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, 30, has moved into the driver’s seat in the Oakland Raiders coaching search. Earlier in the week, Adam Shefter reported that McDaniels and USC quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian were the two leading candidates on Wednesday. Today, Sarkisian rejected an offer to become the Raiders’ next coach, according to ESPN’s Len Pasquarelli. Another leading candidate, Chargers receivers coach James Lofton, also pulled himself out of the running and may become new-Dolphin coach Cam Cameron’s replacement as San Diego offensive coordinator.
Age, clearly, isn’t an issue with Oakland owner Al Davis, with Sarkisian, at 32, not much older than McDaniels. Davis has hit home runs in the past with young assistants like Jon Gruden and John Madden, so none of this is out of character. It’s worth noting, too, that should McDaniels become Raiders coach, it could reunite him with Oakland DC Rob Ryan, who was Patriots linebackers coach from 2000-03.
The NFL Network’s report said that McDaniels hasn’t been interviewed yet, but the Raiders plan to go after him once the Patriots season wraps up.
