A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that McDaniels is expected to serve as an offensive assistant under OBrien for the rest of this season. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasnt made an announcement. The move was first reported by ESPN.com. OBrien said at his news conference Saturday he intends to remain the Patriots offensive co-ordinator as long as they stay in the playoffs. McDaniels would go from near the bottom of the NFL after spending the season as offensive co-ordinator of the St. Louis Rams, who were 2-14, to a shot at the Super Bowl with the Patriots with an AFC-best 13-3 record. He was offensive co-ordinator with the Patriots from 2006 to 2008 before becoming head coach of the Denver Broncos in 2009. He was fired with a 3-9 record in 2010 after losing 17 of his last 22 games. The Patriots, who had a bye this weekend, go into the playoffs with an eight-game winning streak. The 35-year-old McDaniels was the only Rams assistant under contract through next season when Steve Spagnuolo was fired on Jan. 2. "Im sure Josh will have opportunities around the NFL to possibly be a co-ordinator or better throughout this process," Kevin Demoff, the Rams vice-president and chief operating officer, said at the time. "Its going to be fluid, but well figure out whats best for both parties." The Rams scored the fewest points per game in the league, 12.1, gained the second fewest yards, 283.6, and the third fewest yards passing, 179.4. Sam Bradford struggled at quarterback with just six touchdown passes and six interceptions in McDaniels system, whhich had many more longer developing pass plays than the Rams had in 2010 under Pat Shurmur. Kroy Biermann Jersey. McDaniels said on Dec. 29, three days before a season-ending 34-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, that he had no regrets. "Youre blessed to have the opportunity to coach in the National Football League," he said. "You have to do everything you can to try to help the team win." The lack of production contrasts sharply with the Patriots offence under McDaniels, especially in 2007 when they went 16-0 then won two playoff games before losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants 17-14. In that season, Tom Brady set a single-season league record with 50 touchdown passes for an offence that averaged a league-best 411.2 yards. It also was first in yards passing, 295.7 and points per game, 36.8. Now McDaniels is poised to be reunited with Brady and another prolific offence in time for the Patriots practices for their divisional playoff game next Saturday. As the top-seeded team in the AFC, they earned home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. The Patriots were second in the league in overall yards with 428 per game and yards passing with 317.8. Their average of 32.1 points was third. Before the Rams final game, McDaniels reflected on his first year with that team. "Its a group of individuals that has to become a team and has to work together, has to fit together the right way," he said. "Every time that Ive switched venues, Ive learned that in a different way. I went from New England to Denver and learned that once, and then from Denver here and learned it again. "I think its about how people interact and people mesh together and you have to continue to work in this business to make sure that you have the right group of guys together." ' ' '
