McDaniels, Brady to be Under the Same Umbrella Again
Las Vegas Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels knows Tom Brady as well as anybody.
McDaniels was with the New England Patriots for all six of the Super Bowl titles Brady led the franchise to and was the team's offensive coordinator for 13 seasons while the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback was there.
Now, with the recent news of Brady coming to terms with Mark Davis to become a part owner of the Raiders, which our Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. reported on Monday, the two will be reunited yet again under a new organization, and obviously, in different roles.
"I mean look, I think everybody knows how I feel about Tom [Brady] the person," McDaniels told the media ahead of Thursday's OTA. "So if that comes to fruition, obviously I'll be incredibly excited about just him being somebody who is in Raider Nation and has a vested interest in us doing as well as we can do and trying to bring a championship football team here to Vegas. So again, I don't know exactly where all that stands. I think that's a question that's way above my pay grade in terms of that stuff, but obviously had a great history with the player and an even better one with the person. So it'll obviously be a tremendous honor to partner up with him again."
Brady was part of a quarterback room that included new Raiders quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer as his backups. He also has familiarity with Raiders wide receivers Phillip Dorsett and Jakobi Meyers and running back Brandon Bolden, as well as defensive assets like defensive tackle Adam Butler and pass rusher Chandler Jones, who all played in New England while Brady was there.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion is perhaps most known for his infamous "Tuck Rule" game that eliminated the Oakland Raiders from the 2001-02 postseason.
McDaniels has admitted Brady fumbled on the play, and now, for the legendary Patriot quarterback to truly be a member of the Raider family, the Coach says he needs to admit it as well.
"100 percent," McDaniels said. "No question."
The Raiders' offseason workout schedule is as follows:
OTA Offseason workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 31-June 2, June 12-15
Mandatory Minicamp: June 6-8
