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.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
