Hmm.......

I don't know that BB has many options at this point. McD's results in Denver were ambiguous - some folks say his drafting was good albeit they said it after he was canned. He didn't do much in St. Louis - not sure if that's his fault or if it's a talent problem. I tend to think Brady can make any offensive coordinator look good. I always wondered if a former player - maybe a Steve Grogan type - would be a good option.

I think my main skepticism with McDaniels would be: would he be gone again within two years?

ALP

1. so BB does not trust another person on staff to be the OC, even in a limited role

or

2. BB wants to focus on the defense (deservedly so) and wants another person to take off some of his duties as OC, so that he can function is HC, but also as a DC to some extent

either way this is the first time i recall the pats going out of their way to bring BACK a coordinator that has left, obviously wasnt going to be done with Mangini, but it was not happening with Romeo or Weis???

whatever it is, its obvious that BB has extreme trust in Josh....i would even go so far as to say that BB wants him back so that when he retires, Josh can take over the program

So here are the pieces to the puzzle right now:

1. BOB is gone for next year.
2. McDaniels is under contract with the Rams.

[Everything under this is just a report]
3. Jeff Fisher is the favorite to be the Rams' next head coach.
4. Fisher would not keep McDaniels.
5. The Patriots have asked for permission to talk with McDaniels
6. The Patriots really like Brian Ferentz (TE coach) as a future OC candidate, but he's not ready.
7. McDaniels wants to go somewhere temporarily with the goal of another shot at being a HC.

3-5 seem to confirm that the Pats are interested, and 6-7 are why it makes a ton of sense. Oh yeah, and Brandon Lloyd said he's going wherever McDaniels goes. Had some attitude problems that got him kicked out of Denver, but he absolutely adores McDaniels.

Two years seems almost ideal for McDaniels. He can rehab his league image, get a ring or two in the process, and then pass the torch to Ferentz when he finds a job somewhere else.

He may want to...but he would also probably have to take less money and learn a very complicated offensive system to do so.

Sciz

He'd do it. He loves McDaniels, and in the link below, the only reference to money is that he wants to earn his pay. And unlike Ochocinco, he's had a taste of a more complex McDaniels offense, although I'm sure it wasn't nearly as complex with Orton, Bradford, and various backups as it is with Brady.

Maybe the bigger question is if Belichick and Brady would do it, as they're both kind of attached to a different WR on the roster (Ochocinco for Belichick, Branch for Brady).

i thought his offensive gameplan in your giants pats sb was retarded but good enough to win, and he's smart and knows your system. this seems like a no brainer.

wouldnt be surprised if they make him assistant head coach and he takes over for belichik if he has good success that is.

he's a ****y little ******* though, not subtle at all

Patspsycho

Just what I was thinking. You beat me to it!
