Heck, he can even bring in Tebow under the ruse that he's backing up Kaepernick.

I don't think he wants to or will bring in Tebow to any team he might take over. I am sure he is aware that touching Tebow again would severely affect his reputation. He would be branded forever as the Tebow guy. And after what went down in Denver I doubt he can afford that.

I am actually most worried about Rex landing in Atlanta. They have enough cap space to make a run at Revis.

McDaniels would be foolish to consider the SF offer unless he has an immediate solution at quarterback and he would be foolish NOT to consider the Atlanta offer. Atlanta is not all that far off from being a serious contender in the NFC. They need a couple of pieces on the OL, a capable TE, a couple of pass rushers, and some pieces in the secondary. But he already has a quarterback he can easily work with and a receiving corps that borders on elite to go along with a GM he knows he will be on the same page with.

They need an entire defense, and everything on offense except WR and QB.

UPDATE: Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has agreed to interviews this week with the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers, according to CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora. Both teams are searching for a new head coach.

IF Josh leaves the Patriots, who would be OC for the Patriots?

Josh should take the ATL job if offered; it's the best non-dysfunctional situation you'll find.

Let me be the 1st to welcome BB's son as our new offensive coordinator!

He was right about Marshall too. Marshall didn't get treatment for his personality disorder until he got to Chicago. Now he's a model citizen and locker room leader, but that wasn't the case in Denver or Miami. Aside from the Tebow disaster he was actually a pretty good personnel guy, in retrospect.

The Tebow thing is inexplicable. Unless he had some role other than QB for him in mind, how could he think someone with such deep flaws in his mechanics could ever succeed playing QB in the NFL?

The Tebow selection is not anything near inexplicable. Tebow was the second best QB in that draft. Tebow was the second QB taken in that draft. Tebow was basically gotten by using the extra picks accumulated in trading down and taking D. Thomas. Then Tebow went out and took a lousy team to the second round of the playoffs.

If someone wants Skippy, they can have him. My one concern is that Bill would hire somebody
even less capable.

I don't think that's possible

Oh please. If you think Tebow was a first round talent, you're the only one on this board who does. * I suppose you think Sanchez belongs in the hall of fame because he 'took' the Jets to two AFC championship games.

* I realize Christiancat holds him in high regard.

To be fair, the 2010 draft was really bleak when it came to QBs in retrospect. Sam Bradford has been the best of them, and that's not saying much. Tebow probably was the best of the remaining bunch that includes guys like Clausen, McCoy, Skelton, and Kafka, and even though those guys are still in the league that's unlikely to change.

What's the process of that? Like who do they half to ask to talk to Mcdaniels?

Because the Pats are still playing - they need to ask for permission. If the Pats finished out of the playoffs, then they would not need to ask for permission.

Ok thanks, that makes sense.
