Although reports already have the Colts being in line to hire certain coordinators, Josh McDaniels may not be 100 percent committed to leaving New England.
“Increasing” buzz around the league has the possibility the longtime Patriots offensive coordinator staying with the team in play, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk offers.
Florio reports McDaniels has not yet told the Patriots he’s leaving, despite numerous reports circulating for weeks he’s heading to Indianapolis. Some around the NFL believe McDaniels would stick around in the event Bill Belichick surprises the franchise and retires after the game, Florio writes. However, if Belichick operates as expected and remains as New England’s HC for 2018, McDaniels would likely require a pay bump and a promise he will be the next Pats head coach when the time comes.
This would certainly qualify as stunning given how long the Colts and McDaniels have had an unofficial agreement in place. And given how poorly McDaniels’ first HC run went, it might be difficult for another team to trust him enough to offer him an HC job again if he spurns the Colts.
Oh god please no
What was going on with Amendola and the refs at the end of the half?
I saw him and #53 talking In the first half but idk
He looked concussed tbh
If Andrew Luck is not goimg to be 100% theres no point in coaching that team.
Nick Foles can throw the ball and catch it too
This is a no brainer. There is no one better suited to take over for BB then mcdanials. Patriots will not go outside the organization to replace BB so why not promise mcdanials stick around and the job is yours.
Why stay with the Patriots? With no Brady & no back up in sight, in a year or 2 they could be at the bottom of the league. Hanging on to Brady with all his renegotiated deals with deferred money due, they will no doubt stink.
You do realize this is a big QB draft class coming up right?
And they have picks at 31, 63, and the San Fran pick somewhere in between.
With most the qbs off the board by then. Unless the patriots package their pick n sfs pick to move up ij thr teens to get a guy.
There are about 6 or 7 QBs in this draft class who look like they could be starters in the NFL and now with Kirk cousins hitting the open market that should eliminate a team from drafting one in the first round. I would be surprised if a couple good QBs aren’t still available at 41 or 42 where the patriots will be picking
How would he receive “a promise he will be the next Pats head coach when the time comes” without being in violation of the Rooney Rule?
They would tell him very privately
