Not surprised

 

[slash83]

I’d take him over BoB, he might be Macs last hope.

Texans might be a destination ?

Just another guy who suddenly forgot how to run an offense without a star QB. Tom made this guy and got him two jobs. Now we know why many teams kept pulling the plug after interviewing him throughout the years.

He also did exactly what he did in Denver trading away a capable QB in Carr in favor of an inferior QB. Adams production has taken a dip because of the poor fit at QB. Not to mention, his last two drafts were atrocious. Tyree Wilson was an idiotic coach killing pick. Clelin Ferrell 2.0.

Wanting him back is falling into the same trap as you guys did with O'Brien. Don't do this again. If not welcomed back to NE, he's going to bounce around the league as an OC.

I mean, I’m a little surprised at the timing but not *that* surprised. They were absolutely abysmal Monday night.

Another average coach with a big ego fortunate enough to coach the best quarterback ever, he’s never done anything without Brady and don’t give me rookie Mac Jones he fell off a cliff at the end too.

I wouldn’t even hire him as an OC these dinosaurs are still running the same old crap that only functions with an elite quarterback, it’s been proven over and over none of these bozos can coach offense it was all Brady even Daboll is falling on his face now.

He’s basically Adam Gase at this point who looked amazing with Peyton Manning and a complete train wreck without him, he just got to ride the coat tails for longer.

Obviously McDaniels never gets to be a NFL head coach again. Does he still want to coach at all without that potential upside? He’s got another $10M headed his way each of the next four years. Not quite as peachy for everybody else. Ziegler will get a few million worth of guarantees too, but this was his first GM job and he was only the Director of Player Personnel for a year before that.

It seems pretty intentional that Davis skipped over all the Patriots connections and went to Antonio Pierce as interim HC. Out of the many former Patriots on their staff, things are going to be most awkward for OC Mick Lombardi, who has never called plays before (because McDaniels did) but now obviously gets to.

You have to sign this guy. Now.

 

[venecol]

God damn, HC & GM! I wish Kraft had the balls to do the same.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

You have to sign this guy. Now.

No you don’t, you need to clean house in the off season.

How many seasons of awful football do you need to see before you realize the game has passed these guys by.

They were innovative and cutting edge in their prime now they look outdated and overmatched, the Raiders offense was putrid with DaVante Adams why would we believe he’d improve the Patriots in 2023.

They can’t adapt they all keep trying to run it the same as they did with Brady and can’t get 300 yards of offense in a game meanwhile you got mediocre guys like Jared Goff, Tua going up and down the field.

The obsession with bringing the same guys back over and over why this team stinks now and looks like they’re playing dinosaur football when was the last time they had fresh ideas.

Bill just keeps bringing his friends back.

Maybe the worst news of the day.

That’s why I wanted Mac out of this team to avoid temptation like that.

You can pretty much guarantee now that BOB will leave this mess for a HC job in college, bill will stay, Josh will be back and they will keep Mac. And this teams will be forever a .500 team at best

Bill ain't going anywhere. Certainly not this season.

You bring him in because the only time Mac looked good was under josh.

In the off-season then you decide how to proceed.

Raiders fans over on Reddit are celebrating like they just won the Super Bowl.
