However, they may look to a familiar figure to herald this fresh start. Rob Gronkowski, the iconic tight end, expressed his support for hiring Josh McDaniels as the team’s next offensive coordinator during a recent appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams” show.
Gronk emphasized McDaniels’ talent for developing offensive talent, highlighting his proficiency with quarterbacks, citing his history with Tom Brady as a major endorsement.

ronk points to the Brady era as proof of McDaniels’ value
He believes McDaniels excels at creating mismatches and devising plays that position his players for success.
Additionally, McDaniels already has a strong connection with the city and the franchise.
Gronk’s insights are hard to refute.
Under McDaniels’ leadership, the Patriots consistently ranked among the top five scoring offenses during Brady’s tenure.
While his head coaching experience has been less than stellar, Mike Vrabel’s presence can balance that out.
Vrabel acknowledged that McDaniels is among a “long list” of potential candidates for the offensive coordinator role.
The Patriots are poised to nurture a promising rookie, Drake Maye, who possesses an appealing skill set.
They must secure the right coach to guide him through this vital second season.
They also have ample financial resources to attract top talent for this role.
We should expect updates on this hiring process in the coming days.
Nonetheless, reaching out to their former Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator is a step they should certainly consider.
