Its the season for coaching news and the rumors are flying around Bill O'Brien and Josh McDaniels who are both potential targets for the Kansas City Chiefs head coach opening. Jason LaCanfora reports that if O'Brien leaves New England that Josh McDaniels would then be a natural fit to fill the offensive coordinator job for the Patriots.

McDaniels has been mentioned as both a candidate for the head coaches position and for the offensive coordinator position on the new coaching staff. O'Brien has emerged as a strong candidate to replace Joe Paterno as head coach at Penn State.

If Bill O'Brien leaves New England for a college or pro job, I'd expect Josh McDaniels to be a natural fit there
