FOXBOROUGH --- Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said he welcomed the addition of former wide receivers coach Brian Daboll back to the coaching staff, a move that was announced Monday by head coach Bill Belichick during his teleconference one day after beating the Houston Texans.

With the Patriots set to host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the AFC Championship game at Gillette Stadium, McDaniels said he expected to have Daboll, who most recently was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator. Daboll, 37, previously coached in New England as a wide receivers coach but left in 2007 to join Eric Mangini’s staff with the New York Jets as quarterbacks coach.
