FOXBOROUGH — After leaving the Patriots following the 2006 season to become the quarterbacks coach on Eric Mangini’s staff with the New York Jets, Brian Daboll is returning to Patriots Place.

Coach Bill Belichick announced at the beginning of his Monday teleconference that the Patriots are bringing back Daboll, 37, who joined them in 2000 after being a grad assistant under Nick Saban at Michigan State, and was wide receivers coach from 2002-06.
