Josh McDaniels News and Rumors

Not that it means anything, but the sports reporters out here in the Cleveland area have really been talking up a McD-to-the Browns scenario. This time, I think it happens. Getting rid of Dorsey was the move that convinced me. He was the one against interviewing McD last year, when it was rumored he had strong interest. If McD does leave, I think TB will also probably leave, either by retiring (most likely) or going into free agency/trade (I don't know what his contract situation is). At that point, unless he opts to take a head coaching job (Giants?), Judge would be next up internally as OC. I would also bring back O'Shea as WR/ Red Zone coach. If both McD and TB leave, I could see bringing in a former vet NFL QB as QB coach to school Stidham. I noticed Jerry Jones reportedly axed his entire coaching staff. If that is true, Jon Kitna, their QB coach, would be a good choice. I believe he was a TB backup for a short time.
 
McDaniels and browns? That’s a disaster waiting to happen especially with that QB and off course they’re the browns. McDaniels should wait.

With that QBs, those WRs, that RB, that EDGE.... he’d be spending 65% of his time as a psychologist / PR director.

Yep.

Mary Kay Cabot is the Oracle out there. She said Fast Jimmy demoted/fired Dorsey b/c Josh told him no chance he interviews if he is there as GM.
 
Josh should wait. Haslem is a horrible owner who can't decide on anything.

These guys on their second shot at being a HC, especially when their first one went badly, need to wait for THE PERFECT opportunity because they probably won't get a third chance if they flame out again.
 
I say let him go. With all too few exceptions, his offense, game plans, and play calls have become stale, mechanical, and most of all - predictable.
 
Could be a mass exodus from Patriots in worst case, TB, McDaniels, Judge, Cesario, Fears, Scarnecchia.

Would certainly be an interesting offseason and probably one of, if not the biggest challenge of BB's career to build a new staff and team and make them competitive quickly.

I will NEVER understand why we come out on first down with no one in the backfield when our WR's are such a huge question mark. Are you kidding me with this? Without any sort of threat of a run, the defense has our number. It's like broadcasting to the world "We're going 3-and-out".

I thought Josh had learned last year to go with what is working, which is our running game with any of the 3 RB's in different ways. White and Burkhead out of the backfield. White as a FB for Sony. Sony and Rex being back there.

I really hope Josh has a wrinkle for tomorrow.

I just hope Josh is still really into it and not completely focused on his next job and which assistants to hire.
 
I heard Linda Holliday’s twin daughters are the current favorite(s) for 2020 OC. If Josh leaves, of course.

Colin Cowherder, bloviator extraordinaire, had an interesting Brady/McDaniels combo platter destination hot take yesterday ......

Indy

Setting aside the extreme hostility toward Josh by ownership, media, and fans.... and ignoring the bucolic location.....Indy may tick every box that both QB and HC could desire.

Massive available cap space
Top 3 O line
Weapons including TEs
Devoted owner
Loyal fan base
Stat enhancing indoor stadium
Easier 2020 schedule than NE
10 indoor games

Brady and Josh could hit the ground running

It’s clear Brisket is not the long term answer for Indy
It’s unclear to me regarding current coaching competency

It’s also unclear if Josh prefers total separation from his NE past including Brady

Anyway, makes some sense on paper
 
Despite an owner who is questionable at best, McD would be coming home to Cleveland. That drawing card may outweigh any downside. Also, BB really hung him out to dry this season by not addressing two of the biggest needs on offense, a quality TE and a reliable, speedy WR to stretch the field. In Cleveland, he has a good young QB to develop, two solid RBs and several excellent WRs. The O line needs some work but the Browns have a lot of high draft picks to fill holes.

Reich isn't going anywhere. Cowheard has lost it.

Starting to get annoying how we get poached every year, we could pick a random bum off the street clean em up and give em title then watch the following year there will be teams wanted to interview buddy for a HC position.

There’s no way Indy would even entertain the thought of McDaniels as their HC in the future.
