The worst thing McDaniels did is agree to take over a playoff team.
You're better off taking over a loser, trading away the players who refuse to play team ball, then building it back up from the bottom.
Right now McD has a bunch of players who have no faith in the system. You can see it especially on defense as so many of the players are out of position, lost and heartless.
Don't do it like Joe Judge either where you go into a situation, and there are already coordinators on staff who are going to do it their way. The HC needs to own it. NFL owners who force coaches to prove themselves while the owners still hold the reins are their own worst enemies.
The best way to do it is the way Matt Patricia did. Go to a loser. Trade away the guys who have value but who clearly have no interest in a new style of play. Build it back up. Problem is, the players hated Patricia!!!
Of the 3 types of rebuilds, I'd go with Detroit each and every time.
