    Josh McDaniels joined the New England Patriots as the offensive coordinator this season. As a part of Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff, he is now gearing up to face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

    On Thursday at the Annual NFL Honors Award, McDaniels was named the AP Assistant Coach of the Year. He is the first Patriots coach to win this award since its introduction back in 2014.

    According to NFL insider Ari Meirov, Josh McDaniels received 17 first-place votes compared to Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph (10 first-place votes).

    “Kubiak clears everyone ahead but ok,” one fan commented.
