Giants, Colts, Lions seek permission to Interview McDaniels and/or Patricia

[K. Dog]

I've never understood the rationale for allowing coordinators to interview during playoff season. It's totally unfair to coordinators who've made the playoffs and who want to concentrate on their current team winning the playoffs.

It's such a simple, common sense thing for the NFL to not allow prospective head coaches to interview until after the Super Bowl! Why hasn't this been done?

(Obviously this hurts the Pats back since the Weis days and many times thereafter, because our coordinators want to concentrate on winning. That story Weis had of losing a head coaching job because he wanted to win a Super Bowl was outrageous.)

Patricia is Detroit or Giant bound.
I'll put my money on Detroit.
Josh is either taking the Colts or Bears job or staying.
Giants is a dark horse.
I am scare to see this team no Brady no offensive Mastermind no successor.
Unless we are looking at young Belichick.

I'd be shocked if Patricia goes anywhere.

Josh to the Colts means he gets to work with Luck.

OTOH, it also means that he needs to hire a whole new defensive coaching staff. The Colts defense has sucked donkey balls since 2009. This season, Bostic, Sheard and Mingo were among their top-5 defensive players. Even Darius Butler got 4 starts.

In Chicago, Fangio (DC) finally got the Bears defense back into the top-10 (both points and yards) in his 3rd season in spite of losing a bunch of (previously) key guys to IR.

OTOH, Josh would be required to work with Trubisky and few other reliable offensive weapons aside from the two recently acquired RBs (Howard and Cohen).

I'm not seeing Josh jumping at either "opportunity".

If they lose both coordinators it will be interesting to see where they go for replacements. Charlie Weis mentioned on pre-game show yesterday that he would in interested in a coordinator position if the right one was available. (was not Patriots specific) Do the Pats think O'Shea and Flores are ready? Do we go outside the org? Will be an interesting off season without a doubt.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I rather see josh go to an nfc team along with Patricia.

Arizona just opened up (Arians retired).

They've requested an interview with Shurmur.

Defense needs work, but wasn't horrible this season. New HC will get to draft Palmer's successor and will likely need to acquire a whole new set of offensive skill players.

Ready or not, O'Shea and Flores are probably next-men-up ... perhaps unless BoB suddenly becomes available for the OC gig and is willing to take it (assuming the Pats even offer).

Dean Pees announced his retirement as DC of Ratbirds this morning.

Colts job is overrated.

Sure, the new GM seems competent, but you don’t even know for sure if Luck plays again.

Plus would you really want to deal with that embarrassment of an owner?

There are 32 jobs. That’s all there are.

It’s better to wait for the right situation rather than jump into the wrong one.

Not really.
Most great coaches took over awful teams and transformed them.
Making excuses why every job is a bad one leads to never getting one.

He has a decent gig right now so

No coach with HC aspirations or mentality is happy not being a hc because he is a coordinator on a good team.

Are you going to go somewhere where you have no trust in the ownership? That’s the main question to ask. The man has a family to think about in the long term as well.

Think you’re oversimplifying his decision he needs to make.

The giant job is more desirable than Detroit or Indy no doubt about that

Tony dungy did just fine there. Pagano got a lot of time. He would be getting luck as his qb.
There are a lot of worse opportunities than that. If you draw the line there the only jobs you would have him take are almost never open.

Why? Giants are devoid of talent.

Given how BB seemed to emphasize a stable ownership as most important part when giving advice to previous coordinators I don't think he would agree with you.

Of course you dont jump on any opportunity otherwise you end up with insane people that will not even let you build a program / establish a culture.
