The New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator is a busy man these days.

Josh McDaniels has scheduled interviews with the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers regarding their head coaching vacancies, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Buffalo Bills reportedly have requested an interview with McDaniels.

McDaniels reportedly lined up an interview with the Falcons for Friday. He will interview with the 49ers on Saturday.

The Falcons fired their head coach, Mike Smith, earlier this week. The 49ers mutually parted ways with Jim Harbaugh, who left San Francisco to become the head coach at the University of Michigan. Doug Marrone stepped down as head coach of the Bills in a surprise move this week.

McDaniels, who originally joined the Patriots’ organization in 2001, served as head coach of the Denver Broncos in 2009 and 2010 before being fired midway through his second season. He spent 2011 as the St. Louis Rams’ offensive coordinator before rejoining New England after the season.

McDaniels has maintained amid the head coaching rumors that his focus remains on his current job with the Patriots.
