The NFL head coaching interview carousel is in full swing, with multiple teams looking for new coaches and taking a look at many of the same candidates. Josh McDaniels is among those popular candidates, and according to ESPN’s John Clayton, the New England Patriots offensive coordinator has interest in the Tennessee Titans‘ head coaching position.

It’s unclear if the Titans will even have a clear opening, with interim head coach Mike Mularkey being a candidate for the permanent job and the team having no known contact with any other candidates right now. General manager Ruston Webster was let go quickly when the regular season was done, so his replacement may immediately take on the task of leading a more extensive coaching search.

McDaniels spent nearly two seasons (2010-2011) as head coach of the Denver Broncos, but things fell apart after a 6-0 start in his first season and he had an 11-17 record overall. After spending the 2011 season as offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, McDaniels landed back with the Patriots in 2012 and took back his previous post as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

The appeal of the Titans’ job is clear, with Marcus Mariota in place at quarterback now and into the future, a roster that can be overhauled quickly without serious salary camp implications, and a weak AFC South to compete in. Compared to some of the other available jobs — at least this side of the New York Giants and now perhaps the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — the Tennessee job should stand out as underrated, if nothing else.
