Rumor: McDaniels may turn down the Colts

[LinvilleGorge]

Tony Dungy is 100% correct.

“I can tell you there is NO excuse big enough to justify this,” Dungy wrote. “It’s one thing to go back on your word to an organization. But having assistant coaches leave jobs to go with you then leave them out to dry is indefensible.”

Dungy said the fact that McDaniels hadn’t signed a contract doesn’t change the fact that McDaniels gave his word.

“You make those decisions before you say I Do. Don’t get married start a family then say I changed my mind. He didn’t sign the contract but he said I Do,” Dungy wrote. “That is common decency and integrity. You don’t do that to the families of your peers.”

Dungy also said he doesn’t blame the Patriots for keeping McDaniels, but does blame McDaniels for violating a trust within the coaching community.

“Has nothing to do with a Bob Kraft. This is all on Josh McDaniels. He’s a grown man and has to take responsibility for his decisions,” Dungy wrote. “I can tell you in the football coaching community it’s not even close to being acceptable.”

It took McDaniels less than half a season to completely and utterly lose the support of the locker room in Denver even after getting off to a 6-0 start. 6-0 turned into 8-8. That turned into a 3-10 start the next year and he was gone. I think a lot of people have forgotten that a big role in his abrupt firing mid-season was his involvement in yet another spying accusation.

The NFL fined the Denver Broncos and coach Josh McDaniels $50,000 each because the team's video operations director filmed a San Francisco 49ers practice in London last month, breaking league rules.

The NFL investigation determined Steve Scarnecchia took a six-minute video of the walkthrough and presented it that day to McDaniels. 

Scarnecchia was the same guy who was at the heart of the Patriots' Spygate.

Wouldn't it be kind of ironic and funny if the Patriots gave a wink-nod deal to McDaniels that he'll be Belichick's replacement in a year or two, but when Bill retires they decide to go with someone else.  It would be kind of fitting.

McDaniels is as dumb as the Colts if he doesn't have something in writing.

[Woodie]

Well, they keep saying there are no promises, so I don't think he does.  However, I also feel pretty certain that he wouldn't have reneged on the colts if he didn't have some kind of assurances.  That would really be really dumb, destroy your credibility and reputation around the league when you could be let go if another coach comes in and wants to go in a different direction at OC.

I mean given that we know he was actually calling up assistants and offering them jobs, that sounds like a guy who's in "new job" mode.

And then suddenly at 7:15, he's out.

Gotta believe Kraft or Belichick called and offered him something that changed his mind.

It's all just so frigging weird.  And yeah, he's an a--hole for doing this.

At this point, if I'm an NFL owner, no matter how good he is, there is no way I want him coaching my team.  You just can't trust him.  He's shown time and time again that he is unscrupulous, so the chances are fairly good that he would eventually do something that would hurt your team.

I knew 8 years ago Josh McDaniels was a frickng moron. After his fist pumping post game celebration where he didn't shake Belichick's hand in his first stint as HC of the Broncos. Denver went 6 and 0 that year only to be caught by the Chargers who started 3-3. 

McDaniels ike our very own Norv Turner may be one hell of an Offensive Coordinator, but has no business being a Head Coach in the NFL.

McDaniels will have the Patriots after Belicheck leaves,..

only reason he’d do something that stupid.
