Opinion: Signs pointing to Josh McDaniels as next HC

I’d be in favor of McDaniels. That would at least give me the impression that we are doing things vastly different. But given Jerry’s recent comments, I doubt it.

WOULDNT BE SHOCKED IF ITS RICHARD,RON RIVERA OR NORV TURNER. I just cannot see the Jones family going any bigger.

Why not???? There's a good chance we'll have a min top 5 payroll by the times next season starts. I'm thinking just the opposite that they will try and get a top coach who can hit the ground running. One that gives them the best chance trying the get a Super Bowl from this payroll.

Not sure about this ......at all. Just me but I don't trust any coach coming from the Pats. Just too hard to tell what's real or if they rode Brady or Belichick coattail......

agree. NO WAY IN HADES, can I envision Jerry or Stevie hiring a big name HC. That would mean likely big changes across the board. SCHEME, THE PLAYBOOK, ENTIRE STAFF CHANGES....the works. I just don't see it. He will likely elevate someone on staff and he will deem it " innovative" and forward thinking lol. If we go outside the staff, watch out for Ron Rivera or Norv Turner.

But like any wealthy/rich person, they do not like negative returns on investments.......to have X number player on 2nd larger second deals, you want the best coach.

That is 1 of very few people I would be disgusted if we hired. Belichicks assistants all fail once they leave the nest and he already has in Denver

Listening to Jerry talk over the course of the season, combined with other reports here’s how I see McDaniels as the top person on Jerry’s list

1) During the lead up to the first Eagles game Jerry talked about how it was important this offense had maximum flexibility and either be able to throw it 50 times or run it 50 times. That’s the staple for what McDaniels shape shifting has done with NE

2) Jerry went almost overboard when praising the NE coaches after our game. How they were in great position to succeed.

3) He said that college coaches take time to get up to speed on the NFL game whereas current NFL coaches have a feel for it. This is in line with Jerry’s mantra of urgency over the last 2 years ever since Bob McNair passed away. Jerry and Bob were close and Jerry seems to not want to have any more “development years”.

Now will he be able to get McDaniels? I doubt it. I think he’s fine staying in NE until Belichick retires. For those who think Jerry is referring to Belichick himself, what does he gain by giving up where he has all control and 6 sure wins a year in the AFC East to come down here? Yes TB12 May retire but why wouldn’t he retire with him?

That's a pretty big jump to conclude Jerry thinks highly of McDaniels. McDaniels as a HC was a complete disaster. It's far more likely Jerry hires a defensive guy and keeps the offensive staff together so Dak doesn't learn a new system. Just like in the past he will cut the legs of his new HC.
