Mac Jones isn't in the best situation heading into the 2022-23 NFL season. The New England Patriots find themselves in an odd position with the season looming. The Patriots haven't named an offensive coordinator for the upcoming season and are expected to have head coach Bill Belichick alongside Matt Patricia and Joe Judge helping out.

Simms said:

"Are [Matt Patricia and Joe Judge] going to be able to coach every intricacy in the world like Josh McDaniels could? Absolutely not. There's no way. I mean, that's what made Josh McDaniels special, as I've told you before."

Josh McDaniels was the Patriots' offensive coordinator from 2012 until last season. He left the team this offseason when the Las Vegas Raiders made him their new head coach.

He was the only rookie to lead his team into the postseason, which contributed to him winning Offensive Rookie of the Year.

He started all 17 games for the Patriots and compiled an impressive 10-7 record. He threw for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, leading all rookie quarterbacks in passing.

With talent in the AFC East catching up, the Patriots will have to be completely set on their coaching situation heading into the season if they want to compete with the likes of the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and the young, hungry New York Jets.
