Bleedin Green Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Mortensen: Denver has agreed to name New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as head coach. Well at least this takes them out of the running for the guys the Jets are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow, this is honestly the best thing that could have happened for us. The Denver gig was by far the best coaching vacancy out there. The Jets just lost their #1 competitor for any of the potential candidates out there, and it came at the expense of an individual that they weren't even pursuing. Win/Win.

Larz Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 yay ! another BB prodigy will run an AFC team into the ground ! and if this is true, and not just a leak to put the screws to someone in contract talks, it makes the JETS job much more desirable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Good job by Denver. They need a young mind who works with QB's to help Cutler become one of the best in the game. Hopefully he hires someone with knowledge to fix the Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what some doom and gloomers around here may have you think, with the Denver job locked up, the Jets now have the best available head coaching job available and it looks like they may be in pretty good shape to be able to get their first choice, whoever that turns out to be.

Bleedin Green Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 FYI, full article: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3826234 The Denver Broncos have reached agreement to name New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels their new head coach, team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Sunday McDaniels, 32, replaces Mike Shanahan, who was fired Dec. 30 after 14 years on the job. The team is expected to announce the deal on Monday. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen traveled to Boston Thursday for a second interview with McDaniels, who, according to sources, was one of two finalists along with Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. McDaniels becomes the third member of Belichick's coaching staff to be named an NFL head coach in recent years, following Romeo Crennel, who took over Cleveland in 2005 and was fired after this past season, and Eric Mangini, who went to the Jets in 2006. Mangini was also fired after this season and has since been named to replace Crennel in Cleveland. McDaniels has worked in the NFL for eight seasons, all with New England. He joined the Patriots on March 1, 2001 as a personnel assistant in the scouting department and assisted the defensive coaching staff for three seasons. He began serving as the Patriots' quarterbacks coach in 2004 and was named offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach on Jan. 20, 2006. McDaniels began his coaching career in 1999 as a graduate assistant at Michigan State, working under head coach Nick Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetkid94 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would get excited that the pats lost another coach, but it seems no matter who they lose they still are great so im sure there new OC will be the new bellichick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 What's up with Pioli? I thought it was a package deal with Pioli & McDaniels. In any event, like Rutgers mentioned, this is great news for the Jets. The Denver job was the only one available better than the Jets and they hired someone the Jets weren't interested in.

Garb Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i guess it was all about Cutler. Fine. Go get a defense, Denver. Good for us It's being wildly reported that McDaniels is taking Capers with him. Not a bad move for the kid. Capers has HC experience and is allegedly a defensive guru. McDaniels is 32. Smart move if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Close except for the fact that Clemens will lead the charge,not Ratty. If Clemens led them it wouldn't be called a charge, more like a sputter. But after the year Kellen had in practice I doubt he will be leading anything for them.

And a team of kids and washed up vets for a 3-13 season. Yep, KC is so much more appealing than the Jets. Get real. Seriously. How is Woody a bad owner? This is ridiculous. The guy is willing to spend a ton of money on the team. And Favre? Who the **** is the QB in KC that this new HC going to gush over? Come on now. Besides, Herm hasn't even been fired yet.
