Well, the report says mutual parting of the way but in reality it was a firing. Not a firing if he agrees to part ways before his contract is up. His contract was through 2018 and they were working on an extension, but evidently wanted to change up his coaching staff which he did not agree with. Instead of choosing to sit out a year and get paid by the Titans, he chose to just leave without pay where he could pursue another job. That's my understanding of it. Granted if he had said no to the extension and no to parting ways, they would have fired him anyhow.

88Comrade2000 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wonder what McDaniels does. Indy wants him but do you really want to work for Irsay? Also, who knows if Luck will ever be the same again. The Giants would be an interesting place. You can draft your QB to groom and you can keep Eli, while the young guy learns. Titans. You got Mariota. The GM is someone you know. Thing is, long term ownership of the team is in question. The NFL says the Titans don't meet the ownership requirements, they say they do. So, there's some uncertainty there. Maybe you just stay in New England, how long is Bill going to coach? Also, what if Bill parts ways with the Pats after the Superbowl; maybe you become the Pats new coach. Will be interesting to see what he does.

He'll coach the living hell outta your TEs, but beyond that he's always seemed rather pedestrian. Wonder if he's set to join someone's coaching staff as a TE coach.

Taylor 36 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) All of this talk about Belickick leaving NE is crazy. Even if there is some merit to the BSPN article, he's not going anywhere. Hell, he and Brady and Kraft are the type of guys that will agree to continue to work together to spite the haters. McDaniels knows he's not getting the Pats job because it won't be available. He's probably eyeing the Tennessee job and will be named their HC within a day or two of NE's season ending, assuming that they get in their token minority interview to satisfy that joke of a Rooney Rule before NE's season ends. He'd be a fool to consider Indy. That team is a joke, and Luck was overrated before the injuries. Edited January 15, 2018 by Taylor 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Of all the jobs on the market, the Lions and Giants are the best situations. Lions because they have stability at QB. Giants because they have a lot of resources. We’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes there, he truly is a fool. This will be his second go around, and after his failure in Denver, a second failure will all but guarantee he won't be sniffed as a HC again. The Colts have failure written all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at the Jets, he didn't create a dumpster fire like McDaniel did in Denver. Tebow will be a huge stain on his resume unless he can achieve a lot of success at his next stop.

SkinsFTW Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Maybe he'll bring in Tim Tebow to be Andrew Luck's QB coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Is it surprising that McDaniels is getting considered again for HC, after lasting less than 2 seasons in Denver ?

Rufus T Firefly Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If Luck is healthy, McDaniels is gonna excel in Indy. The AFC South may be well on it's way to being the best division in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings don't have guys like that. Plus he has to handle the NY media and he's pretty laid back like McAdoo was. I could see Shurmur run out of there quickly.

True, 2 of the coaches won't be hired until after the Superbowl. There are no more openings unless Bellichick retires after the Superbowl.

88Comrade2000 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Early Thoughts on the Hirings: Next Monday should see the official hiring of McDaniels to the Colts and Patricia to the Lions. Some early thoughts. 1. Giants - Pat Shurmur - I think he can have successful run. Squeeze out what's left in Manning; while grooming a replacement. 2. Colts - Josh McDaniels - His success depends solely on Luck. So goes Luck, so goes McDaniels. 3. Raiders - Jon Gruden - I think he could eventually give the Raiders a Superbowl title. 4. Bears - Matt Nagy - I think he will be mediocre at best. The Vikings Defense and Aaron Rodgers are tough obstacles. 5. Lions - Matt Patricia - Might do a little better than Caldwell but will not duplicate the Pats success here. 6. Cards - Steve Wilks - Will ultimately fail I think. 7. Titans - Mike Vrabel - If his OC can't reverse Mariota's slow decline; he will not succeed. A little more details thoughts next week and my final preview for firing line 2018.
