There are just as many reasons for Josh to go to KC than there are for him to come back to NE. RAC isn't going to be HC long term either. Although I think JMD needs a few more years under BB's "shadow", he might not think so.The interesting back story drama for us now is where does Josh choose to go. Not sure money will be a motivator. There is a greater shot at immediate and consistent success here with Tommy but more career upside if he can right the ship in KC. And what will this do to Bill and Scott's relationship (and RAC's) because they need him a lot more than we do. Not sure Scott can survive much beyond the next year or two without a major or sustained turnaround, and Matt - who is a decent starter - is a system QB (as opposed to Tom who just happened to be the ideal QB for this system) who could flourish in this system except he's about as screwed up as he could be after the Haley to Charlie to Haley rollercoaster ride he's endured for the last 3 seasons. And he's set up to be the first fallguy exiting just ahead of his GM if they struggle again because fans there never appreciated him.
We could see BB & Kraft looking to move him to Head of Football Operations or Team President w J Kraft being CEO of the Operation, when Brady retires. JMD steps in with a solid org and foundation in place and mentors Brady's successor. That could be a plan.
I would be stunned if Dabol came back. Have you read "War Room" ? In addition to the Mangini stench, he was a d!ck (so says the book, my choice of word though) on the way out of New England. Belichick doesn't forgive and forget. I suspect you are more likely to replace O'Brien than Dabol is.BTW- there's another former Pats assistant with OC experience out there, and he will be available soon. I wonder if Josh took the KC opportunity, would BB give a shot to Brian Dabol, or has the Mangini stink still on him.
We just need to bring Hobbs back and allow a certain three letter ex-poster access for a few days and then watch the fireworks.
My one hope for Josh if he does come back is that he learns to be a bit more flexible.
Never Ever gunna happen Man
BB is getting older. BB has said he has no intention to coach forever. Josh McD was the next HC in waiting for NEP when he left, apparently b/c he was worried it would be too long before BB retired. Bringing him back will be with the idea he would be BB's replacement either this year or in 1-2 years after that.

My biased opinion is Josh would be better with grand success here than the risk of failure in KC. Sure he's with Bill and Tommy but future NFL HC jobs won't hold that against him. With a bad ending in Denver and a bad one year in St. Louis he can't really afford a bad tenure at his next job.Good points Mo. You sum it up pretty well.

I think getting Josh back would be the best scenario of all. And, if somehow, Lloyd comes along too, oh my!
