Named the 12th head coach in Denver Broncos history on Jan. 12,2009, Josh McDaniels enters his second season with the club in

2010. The 34-year-old joined the Broncos after spending eight seasons(2001-08) with the New England Patriots, including his final three yearswith the franchise as its offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach.

A three-time Super Bowl champion who in 10 years of coaching has beeninvolved with teams that have won nearly 75 percent of their games,McDaniels has instilled a team-first philosophy with the Broncos that haspositioned the club for long-term success. His dynamic personality, enthu-siasm and organizational skills have re-energized the entire franchise in justa short time in Denver.

Born on April 22, 1976, McDaniels was the fifth-youngest head coachin NFL history (32 years, 8 months) at the time of his hire and is the sec-

ond-youngest active head coach in the league. He has proven to be wellequipped to handle the responsibilities that come along with being anNFL head coach and has displayed that aptitude in every position he hasheld throughout his coaching career.

In his first season with the Broncos in 2009, McDaniels guided the clubto a 6-0 start that tied for the third-best start by a rookie head coach inthe NFL since 1930. With a stated goal of building a team complete withtough, smart and physical players, McDaniels opening-game roster fea-tured 28 new additions that tied for the sixth most in the history of freeagency and ushered in a new era of Broncos football.

Five Broncos made the Pro Bowl under McDaniels in 2009 while quar-

terback Kyle Orton enjoyed the best season of his five-year career, equal-ing a franchise record by posting 10 games with a passer rating of atleast 90.0 that tied for fifth in the league. The Broncos 23 giveawayswere their fourth-fewest total for a season in club history while theirdefense was one of the NFLs most-improved units, ranking third in theleague against the pass (186.3 ypg.) and seventh overall (315.0 ypg.).

Before joining the Broncos, McDaniels was part of a New England fran-chise that won three Super Bowls, four AFC championships and six divisiontitles while posting the NFLs best overall record (111-34 / .766) during hiseight years with the club from 2001-08. The Patriots had seven 10-win sea-

sons with him on staff, including the 2007 campaign when New Englandbecame the first team in NFL history to post a 16-0 regular-season record,as well as a league-high 14 playoff victories (14-3 postseason record).

Led by Head Coach Bill Belichick and personnel director Scott Pioli, NewEngland evolved into one of the most successful organizations in the NFLover that eight-year stretch with McDaniels on staff. He was a part of thattransition at both the coaching and personnel levels, beginning his careerwith the franchise as a personnel assistant/coaching assistant in 2001before moving into a coaching capacity on a full-time basis in 2002.

After working as a coaching assistant for two years, McDaniels wasnamed New Englands quarterbacks coach in 2004. The club promoted him

to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach on Jan. 20, 2006.During three years (2006-08) as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks

coach, McDaniels directed a New England offense that led the NFL in pointsper game (28.8) while ranking second in the league in yards per game(370.8). The Patriots also committed the third-fewest turnovers (63) andranked fourth in the league in third-down success (44.4%) underMcDaniels during that three-year period.

In his five seasons (2004 08) with the Patriots handling positional

During the 2007 season, McDaniels helped the Patriots set numerousleague offensive records en route to becoming the first team in NFL histo-ry to win its first 18 games and advancing to Super Bowl XLII. NewEnglands 589 points (36.8 ppg.) and 75 touchdowns were the most inleague history for a season while its 6,580 yards (411.3 ypg.) ranked sev-enth in NFL annals for a single campaign.

Individually, five Patriots earned Pro Bowl honors under McDanielscoaching in 2007Brady, wide receiver Randy Moss and three offensivelinemen (center Dan Koppen, tackle Matt Light and guard Logan Mankins).

Brady, the league MVP, set an NFL record for touchdown passes (50) in aseason and registered the third-most passing yards (4,806) for a year inleague history in 2007. Moss set a league record for touchdown catches(23) and totaled a franchise best for receiving yards (1,439). Welkers 112catches tied for the league lead, set a New England record and marked themost receptions by a player in his first year with a new team in NFL history.

As quarterbacks coach with New England from 2004-05, McDaniels

worked closely with Brady, helping him earn consecutive Pro Bowl honors.In that two-year period under McDaniels instruction, Brady ranked secondin the NFL in touchdown passes (54) and fourth in both passing yards(7,802) and completions (622). McDaniels earned the third Super Bowlring of his career at the end of the 2004 campaign with New Englands 24-21 win against Philadelphia in Super Bowl XXXIX.

He was named a coaching assistant by the Patriots in February 2002 withhis responsibilities including film breakdown and scouting chart preparationsfor the defensive staff. McDaniels acquired additional responsibility in 2003working with the defensive backs on a New England squad that had a 14-2record and won Super Bowl XXXVIII with its 32-29 win against Carolina.

The Patriots Super Bowl win against the Panthers was part of their NFL-record 21-game winning streak in which they went more than a calendaryear without a loss (Oct. 5, 2003 - Oct. 24, 2004).

McDaniels joined the Patriots as a personnel assistant/coaching assis-tant in 2001, and helped the club to a win in Super Bowl XXXVI with its 20-17 upset win over St. Louis.

In 1999, McDaniels began his coaching career as a graduate assistant atMichigan State University Working under Head Coach Nick Saban he was part
