Josh McDaniels has his first job interview of the year lined up. According to a report from NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, McDaniels will have his first interview for a head coaching position Thursday with the Indianapolis Colts.

McDaniels has spent the past six seasons as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, which is his second stint as offensive coordinator with the team. He started his coaching career in New England, and spent three years as offensive coordinator from 2006 through 2008 as well. He has only spent two seasons as a head coach before he was fired from his job with the Denver Broncos.

The Colts job would appear to be one of the most attractive jobs out there, as long as Andrew Luck can return healthy next season. Then, McDaniels would be able to take over a team that has a franchise quarterback, a high draft pick and some promising defensive pieces, including safety Malik Hooker.

Aside from the Colts, the New York Giants and Chicago Bears are potential destinations for McDaniels, should he decide to leave New England.
