TheFunPolice Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Honestly, the Colts got lucky. McDaniels has been mediocre to poor without Brady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE definitely should have stepped up earlier than they did, but I wouldnt say "at first rumblings". Let it play out a little. Maybe Colts low-ball McDaniels. Maybe Josh meets Irsay and they hate each other. No point in throwing money at a problem when there isnt a real problem yet. NE's season ended Sunday night. They sat McDaniels down on Tuesday. So they really only missed doing the sit-down on Monday. But it sounds like McDaniels wasnt in the building Monday. Not trying to defend the scumbags in Foxboro, just trying to think through the timing for league operations... NE should have taken a few hours out of their oh so busy schedule to construct a counter offer within a week of McDaniels "accepting" the Colts offer. OR they should have refused outright permission for McDaniels to interview, not once but twice. Waiting a full 3 weeks to pull this is crap? This wasn't about "family and moving".

PrimeTime101 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 this only happened because NE lost the big game and Brady wants one more shot with him at OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 6 minutes ago, ShadyBillsFan said: It looked to me is that NE didn't sit down with him until he was about to clean out his locker for the last time before they made him an offer. Yes, that was the point. They made a Hail Mary attempt to keep him and made an offer that appealed to what he wanted obviously, and it worked. Colts got outsold by the Pats, its just that simple. Just like Dallas got outsold at the zero hour by the Clippers for DeAndre. It doesn't happen a lot, but it happens. Just like when Carlos Boozer signed with the Jazz rather than resigning with the Cavs like he said he would...another team came in and offered something they felt was a better choice for them.

I really cant bring myself to defend the Pats, so I'll just say I disagree. And of course it wasnt about family and moving. Although that would always play a part.

Wily Dog Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Th old adage that, McDaniels should buy his jelly beans one at a time is true, in his case, because his job in N.E. is the last job in the NFL ,that he will have.

That would be deserved, but you know, if they keep winning, I think teams will have shorter memories than we think. Where I would like to see the impact, is that if McDaniels gets to where he's making personnel decisions those in the actual business won't be willing to work on his word and a handshake. That could handicap him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the HC is required to keep these guys. The colts are just saving face by saying they like these guys. It's like getting shot down publicly by the hot chick at the bar but still get laid at the end of the night by someone a few notches lower and can say you were happy about it.

I thought the GM committed to them by saying they’ll find a place for them and I took that to mean as coaches. Could make them highly paid ticket ushers I guess.

BillsFan4 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 On 2/8/2018 at 12:54 PM, 26CornerBlitz said: This makes me think that Leslie Frazier has a good shot at this head coaching job. If Ballard is really that adamant on a Tampa 2 defense, Frazier would be a good fit. It really sound like Ballard is dead set on that Tampa 2 and feels he knows how to scout players for that system best. He (basically) said that they are installing it no matter who the head coach is, and already have Eberflus to run it. Obviously Frazier has experience in that system and has ran it himself. But they could also just go with an offensive minded guy who doesn't mind running a Tampa 2 defense and will let Eberflus do his thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts have put it out there that they will honor their contracts. That would make most normal people endeared to Colts as they are paying them. And most normal people would make the best of it, circle the wagons so to speak after talking to a clear upbeat stand up guy like Reich. Even if they would rather spill a drink on McDaniels then share a beer with him. Edited February 27, 2018 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
