I think so, but it's also rare for a coordinator to take another job while his team is heading to the postseason (although the Pats have some experience with that). Since Bill O'Brien is leaving on good terms, and McDaniels left on good terms, and McDaniels is definitely out in St. Louis anyway...
He's apparently being hired as an offensive assistant, with BOB retaining the OC title through the playoffs. He probably won't have a lot of input but it'll be a great head start for next season, as JMD can see Gronk and AHern in action and get a feel for what kind of O he hould be installing.
