Comments on: Josh McDaniels could be closing in on his second chance as a head coach

Sad thing is that I can see a scenario where he comes to San Diego as the new HC and maybe brinds one or two from NE with him. Think about it, unfortunately, the front office is desperate to breathe life back into the fan base, and how better to do it than with the promise of youth and the “promised land” via the offense that procured the titles for Ms. Brady? I hate to think that this could be the case, but I certainly wouldn’t put it past our front office. I mean, who keeps A.J. Smith and Norval around this long even after it is evident that the experiment failed? The Spanos family does…sadly

McDaniels will stay in New England. He likes it there. And, I can suggest that he already has a deal in place to replace Belichick as head coach of the Pats when Bill decides to hang em up. And, that date may be sooner than many expect.

Josh McDaniel, Lane Kiffin’s long lost twin.

Funny part is gonna be when clueless Bronco fans come to find that their beloved #18 took them no further in the playoffs than Tebow did last season.

Feel free to blame that on McDaniels as well.

If he got hired by Carolina, he’d try to trade Cam to the Jets for Greg McElroy. I’d rather have a chimp from the NC Zoo in Asheboro than this guy. Chip Kelly, let me know when you’re ready and I’ll email some MLS listings for nice houses in Charlotte for sale.

McDaniels should go to Jacksonville. Yes, I know that would be cruel to Jags fans, but since there are only 7 of them, that’s where McDaniels has the least-negative impact…

Someone explain to me how getting rid of Tony Scheffler and Peyton Hillis somehow illustrates incompetence? They are back ups on bad teams with bad attitudes (See Joe Thomas’s recent comments about Hillis). I’ve had to listen to other Bronco fans try to tell me this for three years now. The only thing a statement like that indicates is that you either don’t watch or don’t understand football.

I promise you this. If the Browns hire this idiot, I will burn all my Browns stuff, and shift my loyalties to the Ravens!!!

Go Browns, anybody but this guy for coach!!!

Belichick’s 94 season is the best one the Browns have had in the ensuing 18 years.

The next year they announced their move to Baltimore, and everything imploded.

Belichick “failing” in Cleveland is a myth.

Since the new owner bought the Browns the team is 5 -3. There is a good possibility that the Haslam era will start with a 8-3 record (which would give Cleveland 8-8 on the season).

If that’s the case, why would you fire the coach/GM you have when they’ve got basically the senior bowl all stars playing competitively in the NFL? Not only are they competitive in the NFL but they could very well go 3-3 in the toughest division in the NFL when the previous two coaches could never come close to that. As a matter of fact weren’t the Browns almost unanimously picked to be last place in the league prior to the start of the season?

That source may be loco… based on how well the Browns are playing i believe 3 game winning streak Shurmar i believe will not be fired. As to the team that hires McD good luck.

Come on, we all know if he went to anywhere that has a decent QB he would run him and all of the other good offensive players out of town. I think he is looking to get his boy toy Teeb’s and an Orton reunion going.

Seriously, as a Bronco fan I have to laugh.. hope he goes to San Diego and tries to trade Rivers for Cassell

Funny how all the people that say Belichick is nothing without Brady seem to be the same types that say Brady is overrated. They are the best coach/player combo in history, just look at their insane win loss record. How many assistants come and go? Yet these two win regardless. Keep hating it pathetic. As for McDaniels he should stay till Brady retires, continue to learn from bill and maybe then he’ll be ready to be a HC.

And I’m no Shurmer fan, but I’d give him another season before bringing in McDaniels. I suppose I’d be fine if he had no control over the roster.

McDaniels will be well paid to remain as a coordinator in New England, and will eventually become the head coach when Belichick decides to retire. Hand picked successor.

Take it to the bank.

Josh’s biggest problem in Denver was immaturity (hard to believe he’s 36), so there’s something to be said for him waiting to take the reins from Belichick in New England. On the other hand, Belichick is only 60. He might not be ready to turn over the reins for another five or six years–perhaps longer.

Cleveland is an interesting possibility, but I don’t know how big a draw nearly 30-year-old Brandon Weedon would be. Seems like McDaniels would want a star QB. If he really thinks he can get Tebow to the promised land, maybe he will look for an opportunity to work with him again. Personally … I’d go for Rivers.

Any team giving him a HC job would be making a serious mistake. And if they do, absolutely DO NOT let him have control over personal issues

What has he ever done successfully? Coach one of the top offenses in the NFL featuring Tom Brady?

Your family cat could do that successfully.

As a Packer fan I could only hope some NFC North team would hire McOverrated. He is not head coach material and quite frankly there are only two reasons he’s even being mentioned again for a coaching job…Belichick and Brady. His Denver post was a nightmare and when he went to Rams Bradford, and the whole offense frankly, went a step backwards.

Good luck to any team that will hire him but I can say with all certainty that it will not end well.

Lots of misses and some hits for Josh in Denver. One thing for certain he is truly a great offensive mind, both original and flexible. I think he’ll learn from his mistakes in his next opportunity. But I don’t think that opportunity will be next season. I think one of the conditions of him getting rehired was that he stay around for a few years.

One of the reasons for the bad blood between Mangini and BB was that when he was made DC, he promised BB he’d stay for a few years at that position….then he left after one year.

Its a similar situation for McDaniel. Also he would look to be heir to the throne in NE, and how many years more is BB going to coach.

In NE McDaniel has a winning program, stable ownership, a good stable family situation. Stay a few years, watch his kids grow up in the same house, and THEN either take over for BB or move on. IIRC BB had about 5 years between jobs.

McDaniels and Tebow to Jacksonville! It’ll be ball, and it’ll be juice! Um, whatever the heck that means.
