Who would have said no to Andrew Luck +  a stacked roster. I'd feel differently maybe if somehow he knew Luck might retire the following year but I doubt it.

It was in the news that off-season that his shoulder was shot, and when he played it looked like he couldn't throw with the same velocity he had before (which wasn't elite to start with). If I had to guess, McDaniels found out he wasn't a sure thing to stick around and decided he didn't need to be in another Broncos situation. It's scummy, but from that standpoint I can't blame him. Can you imagine being the coach of the colts when they run out of quarterbacks and go into a decades long run of mediocrity? That fan base is the very definition of spoiled. They don't even have to make noise at their home games. A few years of sub .500 and there'll be talk about the mayflower vans coming back.

Bro Luck had 39 TDs and almost 4600 yards in '18 tho lol. It was arguably his best year as a pro.

I feel like we need to go with a guy who's been a HC before.. maybe if Trevor had a good rookie year and our team wasn't so bad you could take a chance on a new guy but it's sketchy right now because if another guy fails miserably it might ruin Trevor.
