How do you even do this this is literally career suicide

Odds are he already has IN WRITING an agreement to follow Belichick as the next Patriots HC,  whenever BB retires.

 

He may be hugely unpopular with the other 31 teams,  but he only needs to be popular with one.    The Pats.

 

There's no way he does this without it being in writing.

If this is true then it has to mean B.B. is retiring now or after next year, Luck is hurt worse than was told to him, or he’s a colossal DB.

 

Who knows.

 

Yeah I’m thinking it’s either one of those, which is not good if Luck is done.

[John Waylon]

This guy will never get a job as a McDonald’s janitor beyond NE.

I did not see this coming. It is career suicide for him. NE or bust.

 

Forget Irsay and Ballard, think about all the other coaches he hung out to dry, you think the Colts are the only fanbase unhappy with him, I don't think so.

 

Exactly. What happens to the assistants that effectively handed in their resignations? How many of those teams have already looked for their replacements?

 

Obviously, Kraft and company have promised him the NE job. Good for him, I guess, because it's the only job available to him after this.

I cannot wait until the Patriots start declining fast. I am watching every ****ing Patriots game to see the mighty dynasty fall apart into a thousand useless pieces and become a disgrace to the league. I hope their players riot and Josh is cast away like Romeo.

 

Unbelievable.

You're going to give them ratings?  

I haven't watched a patriots game since 2009.

Looks like Kraft gave JM a raise and outbid the Colts.

 

Of course he did, as i said Sunday night Kraft gets great enjoyment to sticking it to the Colts.

Yet for some reason Ballard still wanted him. 

Yep.

[Reboot]

The NFL needs to change how they handle coaching opportunities when teams are in the playoffs.   Making the worst teams wait the longest to sign the top coordinators is ridiculous when those are the very teams that generally need the most help.

 

And, as B.B. did the Jets, so McDaniels does the Colts.   Classless.   Like the succession plan couldn’t have been discussed and settled before dragging the Colts through the mud?

We got played.... 

 

 

Hard

 

I'm looking for a silver lining

Just heard this on the radio on WEEI.   Looks like Josh handed in his version of the BB napkin.  I am sorry for you guys, but you got plenty of time to get another coach in line. 

 

Wow, what a circus that last few days.  They stated that the Krafts sweetened the contract with Josh, perhaps Josh may be the next in line for the head coach. 

 

  

After this move I feel sorry for Pat Fans too

i am guessing that he plans to stay for good, one can not get this late in the process then pull back.  Who knows maybe he got sentimental after the SB loss, but it looks like a coaching in waiting in NE.  Time will tell. 

[Nadine]

All I can say is that if they wanted to keep him, they had a lot of options other than this one.  So, this feels intentional. If so, then we're better off

[Coltsman1788]

Chris Ballard now knows why this franchise and it's fan base hates the Patriots.  Hard lesson for him to learn.  Stop trying to make nice with these scumbags Ballard!  We are the friggin Colts.  We don't need that Patriots stink over here.  Let's gooooooo!

I was anti-mcdaniels since the get go.  

I'd rather lose than have that guy as a coach.  

Plus I think he makes for a bad HC.

The only silver lining here is the “I never wanted him anyways” argument, which isn’t exactly valid.

Leverage for what? He's not getting that HC job unless BB quits.

Leverage for more say or money. I bin hearing rumors from pats forum that bill and Kraft has bin butting heads 

[briansanderson]

I’m dumbfounded. So the colts wasted weeks on this punk thinking he was coming here. Feb 6th and they have to start search over. Man I bet Ballard is lit right now. 

[MariGOATa]

Lmao.

[Roger]

Pagano is still under contract, isn't he?

[BlueCollarColts]

So who's left?

[Jules]

Told you all the last few days I had bad vibes on this jerk. We got lucky, feel fortunate. We escaped becoming even worse long term.

 

My female intuition struck again.

 

Pagano wasn't a great coach, but he's a good good man. McDaniels isn't worth all the hype he been getting.

Yes it was intentional.  This was planned for quite a while.

[KB]

Who are the choices now?

[cgi4life]

That's a grimemey move....I'm glad his true colors was shown before it was final

[dgambill]

I’m going to say this now...no Patriot fans better ever expect any quarter ever from Colts fans here now. Don’t get me wrong I’m a good guy and a fair judge of sports etc but the fan in me will find it very hard to stand up for the Pats after this. If McDaniels has worked out here it almost could have been a healing between us...now...it will never ever go away. This is some straight up soap opera stuff here. The reason I’m saying that is that a team with some class would tell McD to honor his word and his commitment and not hire him back or retain him. They are involved in this too now. If I’m Belichick I say son...you made your bed now lie in it. Your word is your honor...you ain’t coming back. Find another team to work with.

Kraft isn't giving him just a raise.....

 

He's giving him the Pats HC job when BB retires.

 

There's no way McDaniels does this move with a guarantee --- in writing --- that he's the Pats next head coach.

 

[Mathis_Fan98]

Opens the door for Manning now 

 

[John Waylon]

Ugh. 

 

Just * ugh. 

[1959Colts]

Better give Chud a call.

This was 100% intentional. They got us good. Bravo, New England.

I must be female too.  Nothing felt right about the delays and the lead up to this.  I'm not surprised actually.
