Just In: Broncos Hire Josh McDaniels per Mort

[silverbear]

It wasn't a guess. Just reporting the info given to me. I deserve no credit.

Sure you do-- you don't HAVE to tell us everything you learn...

I mean, I don't tell you what Jerry and I discuss in our weekly phone calls, do I??

McDaniels is the Broncos’ man

The Denver Broncos have hired New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their head coach, reports NFL Network’s Adam Schefter.

McDaniels (born April 22, 1976) was 32 years, 8 months and 20 days old on Sunday. That would make him the fifth-youngest head coach in league history, according to a list on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Web site.

On Thursday night, Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis spent over four hours in Massachusetts conducting a second interview with McDaniels.

The Broncos interviewed Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, among others, for the job, which became available Dec. 30 when Mike Shanahan was fired after 14 seasons on the job.

McDaniels started to earn recognition after leading the Patriots’ offense and QB Tom Brady to great success. This season, McDaniels lost Brady in the season opener but still managed to help New England go 11-5 with backup QB Matt Cassel at the controls.

McDaniels’ most significant hire will be his defensive coordinator. And Denver’s new defensive coordinator is expected to be former 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, a Broncos source confirmed Sunday night.

Looks like Garrett will be here in 2009. I just don't see him going to the Lions.

For what it is worth, I am glad he is staying.

That guy has gone a long way in such a short time. Seems like yesterday watching him guide Canton McKinley against Massillon.

He must be something.

I think Kyle Shanahan, who just turned 29 a month ago, could challenge for the youngest coach honors if he can put together another successful campaign as the Texans offensive coordinator in '09.

bah!

can this season get any worse? :bang2:

Interesting move with Nolan. I guess this leaves Capers to go with Garrett should he get the Detroit job, which I doubt.

It is unfortunate that we have to keep Phillips since Garrett may be staying, but it could be worse, i.e. losing Garrett and keeping him anyway.

Yes. it ain't over yet.

The Steelers or Eagles will win the Super Bowl and Jerry just passed his physical with flying colors.

I'm actually kind of shocked he didn't take Capers. Though I guess Denver doesn't really have 3-4 personnel and that is Capers calling card.

Where do you see that?

Garrett lost out to a 32-year old? That's gotta be somewhat embarrassing. If Garrett is a genius, what does that make this guy? Einstein? Hawkings?

I read that Garrett was making more here than the Broncos HC job offered. I don't know if that is true or not. His Dolphins slips have to have hurt too.

Yeah, I posted that Michael Lombardi blurb. Not sure if it's valid.

I think it probably is. It would certainly have to be a factor that is not being thought of by a lot of fans. 3 mill per anum is a lot to pay a Coach.
