McDaniels is only out there as the kind of guy that 'could' get it done.

 

So he was involved with getting rid of Cutler in Denver??  good, I'd say..  Cutler just doesn't have 'it'.

 

McDaniels is the son of Thom McDaniels (the 1997 <i>USA Today</i> High School Coach of the Yearand often described as a "legend" of Ohio high school football).^[2] Attending his father's practices during his youth has been credited with inspiring McDaniels to enter coaching."

 

^^^^^  is the kind of second-gen DNA that I love..  Not to mention the fact he is from the Barberton/Canton area.  I have alot of family there, and it is a TOUGH town...  like among the toughest I've ever been to, and I have lived in dozens of places.  Football is a religion in those towns.

 

"McDaniels joined the Patriots in 2001 as a personnel assistant. From 2002 to 2003, he served as a defensive coaching assistant for the team, working with the defensive backs in 2003. In 2004, he became the team's quarterbacks coach. McDaniels was with the New England Patriots for all four of their Super Bowl championships, Super Bowl XXXVI, Super Bowl XXXVIII, Super Bowl XXXIX, and Super Bowl XLIX."

 

^^^^^^^ hard to argue with being around (and participating in) that kind of success.

 

"In the 2007 season, with McDaniels at the helm of the offense, the Patriots set NFL records, scoring 75 touchdowns (67 on offense, 50 passing and 17 rushing) and 589 points, leading to rumors that McDaniels might leave the Patriots for a head coaching job.^[6] McDaniels withdrew his name from consideration, however, during the Patriots' January 2008 playoff run. Shortly after the Patriots' loss in Super Bowl XLII, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave McDaniels a five-page typed report on what it takes to be an effective head coach and run a winning organization, which McDaniels termed "his bible." Throughout the 2008 season, the two would meet to discuss the report and allow McDaniels to ask non-coaching questions that he brought to later head coaching interviews.^[7]

<p style="margin-left:0px;">Starting quarterback Tom Brady suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1 of the 2008 season. McDaniels directed the Matt Cassel-led Patriots' offense as the team finished the season with an 11-5 record.

<p style="margin-left:0px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:0px;">^^^^^^ pretty terrific stuff here too..     

<p style="margin-left:0px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:0px;">To say he would not be considered by other NFL teams is silly..   now, whether he is just trouble as an individual is relevant.  But to say he is not a qualified candidate is the more ridiculous statement than to toss up his name as one to consider..

<p style="margin-left:0px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:0px;">He's just one guy..  and we will need at least TWO.  What's your guys suggestion....keep training Bradley??  He hasn't won a SINGLE opener..  sayonara!!
