His players in Las Vegas said more than any of us ever could.
But that is all in the past.
All that is relevant to the 2025 Patriots is what he’s done with his time since.
And according to Pats insider Greg Bedard, McDaniels has been on a sort of spiritual football journey.
To wander the Earthlike Kwai Chang Caine inKung Fu.
But while learning all he could about scheming an offense in today’s NFL.
