Josh McDaniels is probably the best ex-coordinator to leave the Belichick tree. He is clearly smart, knowledgeable, has great game plans, and assembled a record scoring offense. He will in all likelihood have the best HC career of any ex-Pats coaches.
However, his biggest achilles heel is similar to why the Pats beat Mike Martz in 2001: stubborn insistence on execution, in the face of obstacles. This is why we lost in 2007 to an inferior Giants team, and why we never won the big one with McKid at the controls:

“It is going to come down to whoever tackles better, who blocks better, who throws better, who catches better,” McDaniels said. “It is not going to be a big game of tricks and gimmicks, I don’t think. I think they are going to know plenty of what we are doing, if not all, and we are probably going to know a lot about what they are doing. It is going to come down to whose players play the best and who can make the plays and avoid the big mistakes in the game, like most games come down to. I don’t think this game is going to be about deception. I think it is going to be about us trying to play good football, and they are going to do the same thing. Whoever plays better on Sunday will win the game.”
