The St. Louis Rams announced on Tuesday that Josh McDaniels has been hired as their new offensive coordinator.
McDaniels, who spend the last two seasons as the head coach of the Denver Broncos, also served as the New England Patriots offensive coordinator between 2006-08. In 2007, the Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season and their offense broke several records, including points scored with 589, an eye-popping 36.8 points per game.
McDaniels was also a key component to the development of Matt Cassell, who was forced into action in 2008 after quarterback Tom Brady went down with a torn ACL. Cassell led the Patriots to an 11-5 record, but they missed the playoffs.
The Rams drafted quarterback Sam Bradford with the first-overall pick in last year's draft. McDaniels, who has carried a reputation for developing quarterbacks, will be a key component for the maturation of the presumptive offensive rookie of the year.
St. Louis' offensive coordinator last season, Pat Shurmur, left the team last week to accept the head coaching position in Cleveland.
