As a Bronco fan… you know I concur with the majority of the comments here… imo, Kindercoach/Belacheat Jr./Cheaterlight should stay away from HC positions… what j/a hires the videographer who was key in spygate 1 at NE? Then denies any knowledge of what happened to you guys in London… he’s an idiot… he either wanted to destroy the Broncos, which he has effectively done or he is truly stupid… he traded away way to much talent way to easily. I believe it will take years to get back to where Denver was 2 years ago after Shanny’s last season… it’s very sad.

@JSpicoli …

I know–that was the point. Davis could hire him and give him the Lane Kiffin treatment. Seems like McDaniels has it coming.

Josh is a great QB coach. Take a look at how Orten progressed as a quality NFL QB. Before that he was responsible for Matt Cassell during his time in New England. Denver fans might laugh at this but there are many teams around the league who could use his expertise. Cinn. (He’s an Ohio guy), Giants, K.C., Miami are teams in need of QB/OC.

Right now it sounds like McDaniels might be lucky to land a job as offensive quality control for a colege team much less a HC job in the NFL, but what do i know? Dumber people have been promoted and are promoted every day in the real world, many based on looks or snappy dress who are utterly and completely void of any talent of any kind.. Go figure, huh?

To much is made about HC’s and OC’s when what goes almost completely ignored so often are the assistant position coaches under them and the development of young talent.
Perfect example is Cincinnati with Marvin Lewis and Bob Bratkowski. Brat, as he’s called in Bengaldom is criticized for bad play calling when the assistants who are largely responsible for developing young talent let Jerome Simpson languish on the bench almost 3 years and let Andre Caldwell slip back 9 paces, but a lot of that was due to the popcorn vendors and their freak show conning everyone into believing in miracles performed by divas..
That doesn’t let the coach of the hook by any means, but it also shows you that none of them work in a vacuum either.

Harbaugh close to being the Dolphins Coach=Luck being close to declaring for draft.

Luck declaring for draft=Carolina Panthers.

(More on that later — and, yes, teams still can essentially “trade” a head coach.)

Essentially? It’s already been done. Gruden for a 1st round pick ring a bell?

How is anyone even considering hiring this guy as a head coach right now?

He is a great offensive coordinator but made mistake after mistake as an executive and completely ruined the Bronco’s franchise.

Are you kidding me?

I rarely respond to people on here, but you hobartbaker are an idiot. Best coach based on what? Not a good record. Not reputation. Not being professional. Not honesty and integrity. Where the heck do you people come from? Are you his mother?

“but he hired the top OC of the decade, in Charlie Weis? You’re right McDaniels has a much better Resume than Charlie Weis! Haley wouldn’t dare hire someone who was as good as McDaniels!”

@radrhatr,

And the fact that Haley wouldn’t let Weiss do his thing without interfering is why Weiss is going back to the college level. Haley is insecure and not willing to trust the people around him to do their jobs competently.

Also have heard specualtion in Charlotte about McDaniels as a possible OC. Wouldnt mind that.

We have interviewed 4 coaches thus far. Perry Fewell (We cant hire a 2nd straight DC from the Giants), Ron Rivera (I hope so), Greg Mqanusky (WHO?), and Rob Ryan (If he acts like Rex with the media and the trash talk, NO THANKS).

Heach Coach: Rivera
Offensive Coordinator: McDaniels
Quaterback: Luck

I would be just fine with that.

No to Mcdumbass in KC. Of course he did look Orton look pro-bowlish so he could likely continue Cassel’s progress.

After the finger wagging “don’t beat me like that Josh” I don’t see Haley taking him on.

Even as an OC McDaniels is a questionable replacement for Weiss

Weiss’ approach was for diversity – favoring the most open of multiple receivers.

Under McDaniels the Patriots offense focused on just Moss and Welker – which worked well in 2007 but less so later, until the Pats reverted to a Weiss style of offense this season.

Most Patsfans would prefer the 2010 offense even to the 2007 McDaniels offense.

And since McDaniels largely got the job in Denver thanks to the production of Brady, Moss and Welker in 2007, some question whether he even should have been HC of the Broncos in the first place.

If, a big if, Haley and McDaniels could bury the hatchet, that could be THE spot for him to rebuild credibility. Plus he’d get to stick it to Denver two times per season while he was there.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see Josh McDaniels getting a lot of interest from other teams. They were forced to throw a lot in Denver this year because they were always behind. They finished near the bottom in rushing yardage and seemed to have a lot of turnovers. Bottom half in points scored and could rarely convert either a 3rd or 4th down.

If I’m looking for an OC, McDaniels name does not pop up high on my radar. After all the progress the Chiefs made under Weis this year, I see McDaniels as a step backward.

Funny..But becoming obvious that good coaches SEE a lose/lose situation…and do not wish to enter.

Thats why that clown Ross has to dangle $8 mill/year to Harbaugh….he cannot get anyone til he grosssly overpays hype.

Josh McD will be back…and will be strong HC some day…The Denver scene is alot worse than people think too…though not as bad as Miami.

Wow! If that really is the case, McDaniels is humble enough to realize he needs to go back a step to ultimately move forward, I’m impressed. That takes some serious perspective.

Then again, he’s still getting paid by the Broncos, so what’s the hurry?

Deb,

Davis was the first one in the room to call Kiffin out for what he is, a beady eyed weasel boy.

I lvoe the non-sequitur arguments of the hate breath.

Makes you think McDi**head may be a little smarter than we all once believed. Lucky niner fans, gore, crabtree, willis and any other valuable piece woulda been traded by week 6 next season

We don’t want McDaniels either. He can take his .375 elsewhere. If anything he would be a downgrade from Singletary, which is saying a lot.

Speaking of which, stop trying to play matchmaker with Jeff Fisher and the 49ers. Jeff Fisher is the most overrated coach in the NFL. Here’s why:

- Fisher only has a winning percentage of .542. He is the second lowest rated coach in the NFL with over 140 wins, only Dan Reeves has a lower rating.

-By the same criteria, there are no head coaches with 140 wins who have had fewer winning seasons then Jeff Fisher. He is at the bottom.

-He has only been to the Playoffs 6 times in his 17 years as a head coach.

-In the Play-offs his record among coaches with 14o wins is third worst in the NFL. He has a record of 5-6 (.455) record, which is lower then Schottenheimer (who is unfortunately also being thrown around as a possibility for 49ers head coach, his record is 5-13 or .389 in the playoffs), Chuck Knox at .389 (7-11), and Bud Grant at .455 (10-12). (These numbers btw I got from an article by Paul Kuharsky).

When it comes to Jeff Fisher, just say no.

Same goes with McDaniels, Schottenheimer, and any other coach with a big name and no results to back it up.

I wonder if Gruden is still an option for the 49ers? I like Harbaugh, but they should not pay him the type of money Miami will throw at him. I would think Gruden would be an excellent plan B.
