JOSH IS STAYING!!

[RobertWeathers]

Ok haha I’m dead...mainly because my name is Abigail. (Great name I know) and yes I’m handling this fine..I think..

Abigail or Abby is a fine name.

Better than some of the weird ass names my kid's friends have.

I was pretty over the superbowl this morning, now i am for sure but Colts hiring Jeff Fisher would make me feel like we won it.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Not crazy about Josh staying and certainly worried about him as the next head coach...at least if he went to Indy we could right off any matchup with them as a win lol

I've never made a MOU legal enough to stand up in court. Unless there is financial investment/penalty for non-compliance its worthless. Not in my best interest

OK, that's you. But to make the blanket statement the MOU's and LOI's are not legal is simply not true. It really varies from case to case. Anything that anyone signs has the potential to bite them in court as a legal document.

Right now Schiano is filing suit against Tennessee based on their MOU. A lot of people think he has a strong case.

I lost some respect for Kraft after giving in to Goodell so easily, but after what he just did to the colts...

 

[Triumph]

Is there anything Kraft won't do for Tom?

Keep Ma;com Butler?

Report: Josh McDaniels 'Assured' He'll Be Patriots HC When Bill Belichick Leaves

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

After this debacle he won’t be getting offers any time soon time

Closest thing I can remember was in 2007 when Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan actually accepted a job as head coach of the Orlando Magic, had a press conference where he was introduced, then one day later got cold feet, quit, and returned to UF.

He was supposedly never going to get a shot at the NBA.

8 years later, he's coach of the Oklahoma Thunder.

So I guess time and continued success can fix things.

Naw. Jet sweep to cooks when we only needed a yard.

Pass to Brady cause it showed up on your YouTube notifications this week on 3rd down.

50 million screens.

Not a good start to the play calling. That' not even an opinion.

Over 600 yards, 33 points

Josh being a slimy weasel to the rest of the NFL is exactly why he will thrive here as head coach. Like it or not, we do things the sleazy lawyer way up here and it has brought home the bacon more often than not. Oh well. Let's hope he has learned from his failures in Denver and is ready to dish out the outrage rather than take it when he takes over from Bill.

No, having a good QB is why he would thrive and the chances are he won't have one because Bill won't be gone till Brady is.

He didn't thrive in Denver or St Louis because he didn't have Tom Brady.

Let me spell it differently for you: Butler on the field would have contributed to at least 1 if not more Eagles drives that ended up in points, to end up in a 3-and-out instead. Given that except for one Eagles drive, all ended in points, stopping them on at least ONE drive would have been the difference to give us the win. And if that was the case (Brady hoisting the Lombardi), no one would have counted points or even cared to remember that the Eagles pounded points down our throats. We're only talking about it now because we lost the game. And I think, personally, just my opinion, that we ended up losing that game because our whole defense had to shift due to Butler's absence. Take it however you want. Patricia can only work with whatever Belichick hands him.

Seriously stop ruining this thread with this SB/Butler ********. There is a 2000 page Megathread for that. Let people enjoy Josh screwing the Colts for a bit without all that drama..

Awesome

He didn't thrive in Denver or St Louis because he didn't have Tom Brady.

That was more than 6 years ago. People grow, learn and mature..

 

[ANGR89]

Josh McDaniels effectively resigned as the HC of the IndyC


Awesome!

I hope he did it on a napkin

Patricia is a DC, not a GM. If you don't like the fcking personnel on the field (ESPECIALLY BUTTER ON THE SIDELINES), take it up with Belichick. Belichick alone is responsible for that 5hit show in the SB. Unfortonately for Patricia, he is forced to work with whatever garbage Belichick drafted/signed/traded for on defense.

Make all the excuses you want, the team has spent considerably on defense. 5 of the top 10 cap hits are on defense vs. 4 on offense (Ghost is 10th).

Solder is the only Patriots 1st-round pick on offense. We traded a 1st for Cooks so you can count him if you want. Gronk is the only skill position player taken on day 1 or 2, with Thuney being a day-2 pick.

McCourty, Hightower, and Brown are all 1st round picks. Chung, Jones, and Richards were 2nd rounders, with Chung having to leave and come back before we found out how to use him. Gilmore was a huge free agent signing, one of the biggest in recent history.

One side of the ball is consistently good. One side of the ball is up and down.

And that's fine. I don't believe Josh is head and shoulders a favourite over Patricia.

But you seem locked-in that Matty P is a consensus choice over Josh. I don't understand this irrational overconfidence.

Yes, it varies from case to case. I don't use binding language and if I do financial/compensatory penalties apply. If I want to use a doc and help the sales weasels I'll work with them on a LOI. If they piss and moan at that i'll work with them on a MOU with zero teeth.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

That was more than 6 years ago. People grow, learn and mature..

And leaving a bunch of guys stuck in a job that you bailed on doesn't seem like he's matured.

He's radioactive to 31 teams now.

 

[chumpchange]

Can't argue with that. I think this whole dysnasty has more to do with Brady than Belichick - JMO

All true, but Tom does consider Josh a binky (similarly, Julian Edelman is nobody's idea of a top receiver, but he certainly is to Tom) and you have to keep your MVP happy.

 

[Ivan]

And maybe it is time. Who knows. Better to go out as #2 than to fade away...

Troll.
