I don’t know what if anything is the understanding between BB & JM as far as his commitment to the Pats but I’m sure BB doesn’t want to be trying to replace the OC two years in a row. He likes to stay on staff as much as possible and there’s no one really ready as far as I know. I’ve always thought part of BB’s issues with Mangini was that he left them in the lurch at DC after only 1 year in the position, making BB have to go OFF staff for a replacement (Pees). BB doesn’t mind helping guys get to the next level but I think JM would be crazy to leave so soon.

======================================

The thing about Mangini was that he not only ran off the day before the Pats/Broncos playoff game, but he also took the defensive playbook with him. The Pats D had to totally wing it and this is why they looked so bad. Had Mangini not done this, he would no doubt have a ring as D C

As far as McD goes. BB took him back. If he were to leave after just one year, his career is burnt toast. If he ever will be, he is not ready to be a head coach as we have seen, and it is doubtful any HC would trust his loyalty if he were to chase any ol offer he gets now.

Any GM hired from here on out by the NFL should have a McDaniels clause in his contract. You hire Josh, or even think about it, and you are immediately fired for cause.

Cleveland Hires McDaniels, Trades for Tebow.

Nuf sed.

Hopefully Cleveland beats Denver on Sunday which would give Shurmur another season.
**********************************************

Hopefully New England loses two straight games after Tom Brady abruptly leaves the team to become a full-time male model.

mcdaniels should be permanently penalized for blowing a #1 on tebow. plain and simple. no nfl head coaching job again. he can dismiss that decision as inexperience, immaturity, etc, but a huge gaffe like that should never be forgiven.

Weeden looks like he might be at least serviceable if he can have another year in his system. He’s got at least one decent receiver in Josh Gordon and Trent Richardson is going to be serious business. Their offensive line is very solid. They have nearly enough defense to be competitive. This is a team that is one good draft away from returning to relevance again and everyone wants to hit the reset button?

He drove the Broncos to a bottom tier team… I see posts about how he drafted D.Thomas… Ya..and he also wasted a 1st rounder on TEBOW…Who had 1…1!!! great pass to Thomas to beat the Steelers..

Tebow couldn’t and still cant throw!!!…(See the Jets still playing the turnover machine Sanchez and now starting Mcelroy over Tebow!)

To be a great WR, you do need a decent QB to get the ball to you!! Thomas is turning into a great WR because of Manning!! NOT McDaniels!!

McDaniels thought Tebow to Thomas was going to work?

If you’re a Browns fan….be scared…be very scared!!

I don’t know if Josh will be a good coach…no one knows. So Cleveland fans need to stop having hissy fits over anyone’s name being mentioned here.

Seems to me management plays a large part in any clubs success. (Dallas ring a bell?)
New coaches are a roll of the dice, no matter what.

BTW: Would the Cleveland Browns do us a huge favor? Please WIN this Sunday…we’ll be rooting for you.

Moreno – finally showing up, glad to see it
Ayers – On the roster but has yet to justify his draft stock.
Walton – Starting center but he has struggled at times.”

His 2009 draft was horrible, but his 2010 draft was actually pretty good. We also got Walton in that draft, so he drafted 4 starters. That is a solid draft.

1. Shurmur deserves another shot. The Browns were very competitive and played hard for him. He’s done well enough this year to deserve anoth year.

2. Never underestimate the power of continuity. Changing coaches as often as Cleveland does it isn’t good for player development. They never should have fired Romeo.

3. BB only let Josh go the first time because he had Bob OBrien ready to step in as his play caller. He doesn’t have that guy right now. I doubt BB would have rehired McDaniels if thee wasn’t some agreement that he stay a couple of years and train his replacement.

4. I think McDaniel will make a fine HC someday. I think the Denver experience taught him a lot. It take more than just a vision and knowledge of X’s and O’s to be a HC these days.

BUT its too soon for him to jump back in. The Denver stink is still on him. It needs to fade.

5. I believe that McDaniel is looking for some stability for his family right now with 2 moves in 2 years. Its just another reason that he will stay .

Hey, at least Tebow will be looking for a new home.
