McDaniels rejects Colts.

[PrincetonTiger]

It is being reported that Ballard was prepared and have multiple candidates in the wings

[ricker182]

Planned sabotage of an NFL franchise's HC search is not going to go over well with the other 31 teams.  

  

I'd be surprised if there isn't yet another investigation of the patriots. 

[backshoulderfade]

For those of you gloating that you never wanted McDaniels; the team wasted a month chasing this guy whilst all the other top candidates got swept up.

 

This situation is not good for the team.

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. 

 

  

...plenty of time to find a new head coach?!?!?! CUTE. 

 

It's been over a MONTH since the colts fired Pagano, all the top candidate are gone. The other guys the Colts liked (Vrabel, Wilks, etc) are long gone. This is horrible scenario to be in. No way to sweeten this or make it sound better than it is the Colts are f*'d 

[NorthernBlue]

Garafalo just said colts were just as blindsided as we were about this. Found out th same way.

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

Brady probably put in some money to keep him.

I was waiting for someone to say it. Let’s get Peyton in here as an OC! Hahaha. 

 

This is does suck but everything happens for a reason. Better to see his loyalty now than having him here and knowing his heart isn’t in it.

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

 

That could be. We're quick to attack McDaniels on this, but what if the Colts were promising to McDaniels that Luck would be healthy, and later told him he's not? In that case, we were being dishonest to McDaniels.

Not saying that happened, but it IS a possibility.

[NewEra]

My hate for the Pats burns like the sun. If this is true I can't even say I'm fear of getting band. He can rot in hell

Why is everyone so confidant in Reich? 

It looks to me like Doug Peterson is running the Eagles offense during the game. Calling the plays.

Who knows what Reich brings to the table?

 

Agreed. If we're going with a Philly coach, I'd rather take my chances John DeFilippo is the next Sean McVay.

[aReggie7]

I feel bad for the assistant coaches and their families. Some actually signed contracts I think?

 

Now Ballard has to fix this. This is the risk you run when you have to wait on a coach. Time for Ballard to really earn his pay.

 

I was getting pretty excited for McDaniels. The timing in all of this sucks because it becomes harder to put a staff together. Maybe the Colts get Dave Toub or Frank Reich. I'm still going to be excited.

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

 

It's the best thing to happen to us right now. I am so relieved and now looking forward to next season again.

[Nesjan3]

GOOD, i never wanted him anyways, and this just goes to show the character type he is. Not what we want on the Colts he can stay in NE with the other snakes, Kraft and BB. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Kraft that some shady crap.. bro the pats are freaking weird..the four of them have some love fest going on.. keep it in New England.

 

Everyone knows Brady ain't *hit without father belichck and niether is McDaniels

You and @Superman have said this is likely intentional, but what's the motivation?  Is it to just blindside the Colts?  Or was McDaniels using it as leverage for his own gig in New England?

[Yehoodi]

Wow Bob Kraft meddling with a coaching relationship with another team . . . that is almost like . . . cheating . . . .

 

Seriously, it sucks for you guys.  But in the end no one knows Josh's HC capabilities.  So maybe it is a blessing for the colts. 

 

I just heard that there was no contract signed and that Josh was indicating he wanted more time. 

 

Things are still kind of up in the air with the SB loss, and BB contract is up in 2018, maybe the Krafts wanted Josh as a back-up and can take over if BB decides to move on after next year.

Did he see Luck throw?

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.

 

Can't believe Colts would announce anything without a signed deal.... if he backed out of that the league needs to look at tampering by NE..  COACH GATE

[Case]

He’s a b. 

[snkdy]

Maybe we would have had a chance at Shurmur if we didn't already have an agreement with place with McDaniels. This is so annoying.

Wow.... I don't even know what to say.  

But my thoughts about him, have drastically changed.  Guess I'm glad he is staying with the liar cheater club.  Don't Need Him Here.

Exactly, stay away from us were better with you Josh

The worst part too is we might be wasting another year of Luck's career away.

[21isSuperman]

I don't understand how this happens after the Colts officially hired McDaniels.

[deedub75]

I’m not even mad at him. Colts were stupid for waiting on him. Who wants a coach who is always looking for a ready made team to come in and coach?

 

I am glad he’s gone because he would have quit in a couple of years and gone back to the Patriots. I wish he had waited to change his mind at his introductory presser though. Ha!

[Crunked]

Well who gets sloppy seconds from west 56th st?

Nothing is surprising about that. Need to start calling the guy "Backup Plan Ballard." 

 

But this isn't good, at all. Whoever we hire is officially our second choice, and everyone knows it. Maybe our third or fourth choice.

It will all depend on how he does. If he wins, he'll get hired again.

Nobody can, or will trust him ever again because they don't wanna be as screwed over as the Colts are now. 

[ColtsBlueFL]

Colts reportedly had suspicious minds, and have 3 contingency candidates they will move on.  Frank Reich? Jim Schwartz?  Who's #3?  Toub?

That raises some eyebrows.  Even the Colts thought this could happen?  I can't imagine any scenario where a team hires a head coach, but has enough doubt to have 3-4 other candidates ready to go

[Maniac]

Maybe he remembered his time in Denver and realised he couldn’t cut it...

 

I’ll deal, but it’s % for the club.

[Dustin]

I wonder if Ballard has something in his binder for this situation
