00:00McDaniels would be on the list. I think he would be a good hire Tommy Reese on the list as well

00:05But I think those two would be the leading candidates

00:09And I think that Mike has a leaning I don't know what it is

00:12But if I'm looking at this Patriots team and the work that needs to be done

00:16I would probably if I was hiring and I know that there's plenty of fans who feel differently

00:21I don't know why but they do I would think that Josh McDaniels would be the best fit

00:25Do you guys feel the same way?

00:28No, I don't I would lean, you know, if it's Tommy Reese or McDaniels mate

00:32Maybe I'd go to McDaniels, but I I don't love the idea of hiring McDaniels

00:37And let me just give you pushback on why maybe something like a Nick Caley or something. Go ahead. Yeah

00:41Oh, yeah, like Tanner Engstrom

00:43Yeah, the McVeigh tree or somebody from Dallas shirt like a name came up today

00:47I'm sorry, Detroit a name came up today Mike Reese throughout the name Dave

00:50We're going II who I guess work with Rabel in I think Tennessee and Houston

00:54But definitely in Tennessee and he's with McVeigh now that to me sounds like an intriguing name

00:59Is he ready to be a coordinator?

01:00I have no idea but I'll give you a reason why maybe some feel like you could go Tommy Reese over Josh McDaniels

01:07It would be the style of offense and the language in the offense and you don't want Drake May starting over again at square one

01:12I think that's the one you hear the most

01:14That's huge. That's a Patriots player who had a very good season this year said that to me

01:19Just before the final game. The last thing you want to do with Drake is make him start over again

01:24Because that's year one to year two. He didn't say this that this is me continuing the year one to year two

01:29Jump is critical. And this will be what the

01:32Unless McDaniels comes back. It'll be the fifth offensive coordinator 21

01:3622

01:3723 new guy who's 23 Bill 20 O'Brien 24. Yeah, what's damp?

01:42I'll be the five and five 14 or five years at the three

01:47But a one aspect of this to to bear in mind and what's the reason the Matt Patricia and Joe judge in part?

01:53Were the offensive coordinators in 2022? It was because at least it was stated to me

02:00That Bill was tired of the flight risks that he was having from younger offensive coordinators and

02:08maybe

02:09Bregel would look at McDaniels and say

02:11He's been a head coach twice

02:13I don't know if he yearns to be a head coach at this juncture right now or if he would like to have the stability

02:18Of coaching near where he's living
