Josh McDaniels was named the 12th head coach in Denver Broncoshistory on Jan. 12, 2009. The 33-year-old joined the Broncos after

spending the previous eight seasons (2001-08) with the New EnglandPatriots, including the last three years (2006-08) as the club’s offensivecoordinator/quarterbacks coach.

McDaniels was part of a New England franchise that won three SuperBowls, four AFC championships and six division titles while posting theNFL’s best overall record (111-34 / .766) during his eight years with theclub. The Patriots had seven 10-win seasons with him on staff, includingthe 2007 campaign when New England became the first team in NFL histo-ry to post a 16-0 regular-season record, as well as a league-high 14 play-off victories (14-3 postseason record).

Born on April 22, 1976, McDaniels is the sixth-youngest head coach inNFL history (32 years, 8 months) at the time of his hire and was the fifthyoungest when he was named the Broncos’ head coach. Raheem Morris,who was hired by Tampa Bay on Jan. 17, 2009, is four months youngerthan McDaniels and makes Denver’s head coach the second-youngestactive head coach in the league.

While he is the youngest head coach in the 50-year history of theBroncos, McDaniels’ dynamic personality and organizational skills havealready re-energized the entire franchise in just a short time in Denver. Hisprevious experience came at the highest level while with the Patriots,whose standard of operation and success prepared him for the challengesof an NFL head coaching position.

Led by Head Coach Bill Belichick and personnel director Scott Pioli, NewEngland evolved into one of the most successful organizations in the NFLover that eight-year stretch with McDaniels on staff. He was a part of thattransition at both the coaching and personnel levels, beginning his careerwith the franchise as a personnel assistant/coaching assistant in 2001before moving into a coaching capacity on a full-time basis in 2002.

After working as a coaching assistant for two years, McDaniels wasnamed New England’s quarterbacks coach in 2004. The club promoted himto offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach on Jan. 20, 2006.

During three years (2006-08) as offensive coordinator/quarterbackscoach, McDaniels directed a New England offense that led the NFL in pointsper game (28.8) while ranking second in the league in yards per game(370.8). The Patriots also committed the third-fewest turnovers (63) andranked fourth in the league in third-down success (44.4%) underMcDaniels during that three-year period.

In his five seasons (2004-08) with the Patriots handling positionalcoaching responsibilities, McDaniels guided six different players to a totalof nine Pro Bowl selections. Quarterback Tom Brady was named to the ProBowl three times (2004-05, ‘07) under McDaniels, including the 2007 cam-paign when he earned league MVP honors, and ranked fourth in the leaguein passing yards per game (249.4) during those five years.

Despite a season-ending injury to Brady in Week 1, New England’s 2008offense finished the year with an NFL-best 356 first downs and ranked fifth inthe league in yards per game (365.4) under McDaniels. His coaching helpedbackup quarterback Matt Cassel, who became a starter for the first time sincehigh school, post the eighth-most passing yards (3,693) in the league.McDaniels’ passing offense in 2008 also featured wide receiver WesWelker, who was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career afterfinishing the year with the second-most catches (111) in the league.

During the 2007 season, McDaniels helped the Patriots set numerousleague offensive records en route to becoming the first team in NFL histo-ry to win its first 18 games and advancing to Super Bowl XLII. NewEngland’s 589 points (36.8 ppg.) and 75 touchdowns were the most inleague history for a season while its 6,580 yards (411.3 ypg.) ranked sev-enth in NFL annals for a single campaign.

Individually, five Patriots earned Pro Bowl honors under McDaniels’coaching in 2007—Brady, wide receiver Randy Moss and three offensivelinemen (center Dan Koppen, tackle Matt Light and guard Logan Mankins).

Brady, the league MVP, set an NFL record for touchdown passes (50) in aseason and registered the third-most passing yards (4,806) for a year inleague history in 2007. Moss set a league record for touchdown catches(23) and totaled a franchise best for receiving yards (1,439). Welker’s 112catches tied for the league lead, set a New England record and marked themost receptions by a player in his first year with a new team in NFL history.

As quarterbacks coach with New England from 2004-05, McDanielsworked closely with Brady, helping him earn consecutive Pro Bowl honors.In that two-year period under McDaniels’ instruction, Brady ranked secondin the NFL in touchdown passes (54) and fourth in both passing yards(7,802) and completions (622). McDaniels earned the third Super Bowlring of his career at the end of the 2004 campaign with New England’s 24-21 win against Philadelphia in Super Bowl XXXIX.

He was named a coaching assistant by the Patriots in February 2002 withhis responsibilities including film breakdown and scouting chart preparationsfor the defensive staff. McDaniels acquired additional responsibility in 2003working with the defensive backs on a New England squad that had a 14-2record and won Super Bowl XXXVIII with its 32-29 win against Carolina.

The Patriots’ Super Bowl win against the Panthers was part of their NFL-record 21-game winning streak in which they went more than a calendaryear without a loss (Oct. 5, 2003 - Oct. 24, 2004).

McDaniels joined the Patriots as a personnel assistant/coaching assis-tant in 2001, and helped the club to a win in Super Bowl XXXVI with its 20-17 upset win over St. Louis.

In 1999, McDaniels began his coaching career as a graduate assistant atMichigan State University. Working under Head Coach Nick Saban, he was partof a staff that helped the Spartans to a 10-2 record and a Citrus Bowl victory.

Initially recruited by John Carroll University (University Heights, Ohio) as aquarterback, McDaniels spent the majority of his collegiate playing career asa wide receiver from 1995-98 for the Blue Streaks.
