McDaniels Rejects The Colts And Will Stay In New England

[chicagoceltic]

Josh McDaniels had a change of heart and spurned the Colts to stay in New England.  It looks like he may want to stick around and replace BB in a year or two.  Keeping McDaniels and losing Patricia is OK by me.

Definitely means he’s succeeding Belichick in the not so distant future

I don't think it definitely means anything, besides the fact that he will be coaching in NE next year.

I think that the Indy job is not that great. I also think that Josh should want to continue coaching the GOAT. Given the Patriots talent on defense, the next challenge is to score 50 points per game. McDaniels is young enough to be a head coach for decades after Brady retires.

That is the definition of F'n Awesome!!

Although this may mean McDaniels knows something we don't about BB. If so, I am still happy as I can't think of another person I want taking over head coaching duties post-BB.

Wouldn't you rather have a decade of Andrew Luck rather than whatever random player replaces Brady.

Im bummed.

Dont see anyway he does this without a promise of the HC job in the near future.

McDaniels will have other opportunities.

But the situation he's in right now is a really good one. He's the OC working with the GOAT. Why not ride it a bit until a really good situation comes along?

Also, I love that it's the Colts that got spurned at the alter.
Couldn't happen to a "better" team....

I'd rather have the Patriots organization.

Andrew Luck isnt a sure thing right now.

Didn't they announce him today morning? They went as far as reporting he's taking the assistant QB coach and Joe Judge with him.

learning from Bill.

Pull the rug out from under a hated division rival. Only then will you be ready to lead us into a dynasty.

yup. Shades of Belichick resigning of HC of the NYJ

[chicagoceltic]

The article says that BB's situation was "clarified" and that he is not retiring before 2018.  To me that reads as though BB agreed to coach for a year or two and will then hand the reigns over to McDaniels.  McDaniels as coach-in-waiting could be great for the longterm though that means BB is close to gone but he is in his mid 60s and has been here for 18 years (or so) so him leaving soon is to be expected.  I think that this is a win for the Pats and that it screws the Colts is a bonus.

Oh wow. I can't wait to go to Colts social media and let them know that if they weren't such a pathetic cry baby tattle tale franchise maybe this wouldn't have happened to them.
