He began his NFL career in 2001 with the New England Patriots, where he served as the offensive coordinator for 14 non-consecutive seasons. During McDaniels' first stint as offensive coordinator from 2006 to 2008, New England set the record for points scored, and in 2007, became the first team in NFL history to win all 16 regular season games. In his second stint from 2012 to 2021, the Patriots won three Super Bowl titles in Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl LI, and Super Bowl LIII. McDaniels was also among the Patriots personnel to be present for all six of their titles during the Brady–Belichick era.
In between his Patriots tenure, McDaniels served as the head coach of the Denver Broncos from 2009 to 2010. He left New England a second time in 2022 to become the head coach of the Raiders.
