Rumor: McDaniels may turn down the Colts

This could get weird...

Quote

The Colts think they’ll be getting a new head coach after Super Bowl LII. And while they may ultimately land Josh McDaniels, there’s some reason for concern.

PFT has heard increasing chatter throughout the day that McDaniels may decide not to leave New England.

As reported during the Super Bowl pregame show on NBC, McDaniels has not yet told the Patriots he’s leaving. If he ultimately stays, McDaniels could make it very difficult for himself to get another head-coaching job, especially via the unofficial wink-nod postseason interview process, in which deals aren’t really done but as a practical matter are supposedly done. Who would trust him the next time, if he stiff-arms the Colts this time?

Chatter increasing that McDaniels may stiffarm the Colts

This would be a pretty douchey move on McDaniels part.  It'd put the Colts back at square one since I'm pretty sure all their other candidates either pulled out or got other jobs. That, plus they've already hired a couple of assistants at McDaniels' request.

Believe it or not, some of the speculation about this revolves around hints that Belichick could retire and hand the Patriots to McDaniels (personally, not buying it).

I can’t stand the Colts so I’m good with this. A lot of Colt fans I know said they are surprised he would come here with Luck being a huge question mark. If you think about it, besides Luck, why would you go there? Especially, if Luck may have to have another surgery like reported earlier on Sunday. Some doctors are saying he needs corrective surgery, some are saying he’s fine. It’s not like this would be McDaniels first HC gig, if it was I would understand. He may just want to be an OC.

Didnt Belicheat do the same thing to the Jets ?

Not really, but kind of, and it will be similar if he ends up leaving.

Belichick was the heir apparent to Parcells with the Jets and everyone knew it. They had a contract in place to where he would become defacto HC if and when Parcells retired. Parcells was waivering on whether or not to retire and taking his time. Then the Pats fired Carroll and wanted to give Belichick an interview. They sent a fax to the jets and Parcells called an emergency meeting and announced his retirement on the spot surprising a lot of people. This essentially blocked Belichick from getting an interview with NE and being able to build up his own legacy on his own. There was much butthurt. 

Then during the press conference where they were announcing Belichick as the HC, he resigned on the spot. Belichick says this was mainly due to the fact that the owner of the jets had passed away and new ownership was taking over so he wasn't really sure of the direction the franchise was headed. 

Then he created a dynasty and is probably the GOAT coach in NFL history. 

Source: just watched the two bills ESPN 30 for 30 the other day. Great watch if you're a football fan, would recommend.

Knowing the Colts they probably just assumed McDaniels wanted to be there HC. 

No, they actually had an agreement. In fact, the Colts have already hired a couple of assistants that he picked. But they wouldn't have been able to sign him to an official contract until after the Super Bowl

Kind of a douchebag move to the guys that already changed jobs to be on his staff if McDaniels doesn't take the job.

Not a fan of either the Colts or McDaniels, but if I had a chance to be the HC of the Patriots, I wouldn't be heading to Indianapolis.  Difference between the two team owners is night and day.

I'd say the difference between the two team owners is rum and coke.

Lol it's the Patriots. And were talking about a guy who traded Cutler for Orton.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
