Josh McDaniels Withdraws from Colts' HC Job

Sources: McDaniels spurns Colts to stay in NE
 

After two days of reflection and conversations with the New England Patriots, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has decided not to accept the Indianapolis Colts' head coaching job, league sources told ESPN.

 

In the past 48 hours, Patriots owner Robert Kraft began talking with McDaniels and ultimately wound up sweetening his contract, helping to entice him to remain in New England rather than leave for Indianapolis, which announced it would be holding a news conference Wednesday to introduce its new head coach. But McDaniels did not have a signed contract with the Colts, according to a source.

 

But this wasn't a decision about money. The truth is, McDaniels has been vacillating on this decision throughout the interview process, ever since meeting with the Colts on wild-card weekend. It is the reason a second meeting with Colts officials and team owner Jim Irsay was held. McDaniels was trying to get comfortable with the idea of taking his family out of New England and moving it to Indianapolis.

What a scumbag. Hope he gets blackballed. Poor colts left without a dance partner and embarrassed 2nd choice coaching hire. 

He also committed to hiring several assistants who now have no job.  Dirt bag move by him and the drunk.

Kraft sweetened McDaniels contract. It's now in writing that Joshie is the next man up after Belichick retires (or so I'm hearing)

I agree... Bill will be back next year but it’s going to be soon that he hangs it up and Josh is coach in waiting
