The assistants are supposedly keeping their jobs with the Colts...but we all know how that works out when the assistants are hired before the head coach...lol

McDaniels better hope that is the deal - if he wants to be a HC what other team would trust him now?
Scathing SI column
McDaniels’s decision now makes him unhirable anywhere other than Foxborough. He leaves behind at least two coaches—Matt Eberflus and Mike Phair—who already left other gigs to join him with the Colts, according to the Adam Schefter report. He sets himself up to become the type of suspicious, secret-hoarding personality that attracts certain football minds but causes the rest of the league to approach with hazmat suits. Maybe he’s in line to succeed Belichick, but if that doesn’t work out, who would ever hire him again? Is that the safest bet with Tom Brady eclipsing 40?

Of course what could go wrong with relying on the word of someone as trustworthy as Kraft and Belichick?
Oh for sure! He is untouchable anywhere outside of New England. Failed his previous HC gig? Check. Shadier than his success warrants? Check. Multiple NFL insiders that now detest him? Check.
He flames out with the Pats, he will have to go back to Outer Nowhere State and coach wideouts or something!
Even his agent has bailed on him (although since his agent also reps the Colts GM if he did not drop McDaniels the Colts GM was dropping him) with some cold remarks
Agent Bob LaMonte says he has terminated his relationship with Josh McDaniels in the wake of McDaniels' surprising decision to turn down the Indianapolis Colts head coaching job and instead remain an assistant with the New England Patriots.
"My word is my bond," LaMonte told the Sports Business Journal on Wednesday. "Once you break that, there's nothing left."...
When McDaniels told him he was staying in New England, LaMonte replied that McDaniels was "committing professional suicide," according to the source.

Tom Brady made this happen. I just have a feeling. If he's capable of getting Garoppolo traded away, he can probably pull this off too.
Didn't McDaniels' boss do essentially the same thing to the Jets at one point?
Another sterling example of "The Patriot Way."
SO glad the Eagles took them down. Bunch of scumbags...
His tenure as Broncos HC was a dumpster fire. I had a front row seat for that lollercoaster.
Hoodie and his former boss both pulled similar stunts - rotten apple does not fall far from the coaching tree
In 2000, Belichick ascended to the top job with the New York Jets after Parcells stepped down, only to publicly resign 24 hours later in one of the most bizarre news conferences in NFL history (this after writing “I resign as HC of the NYJ” on a piece of paper)....
Parcells planted the seeds of this indecisively rooted coaching tree after the 1991 season, when he first spurned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who also had scheduled a news conference to announce his hiring. (Note to teams seeking a coach: contract first, then news conference.) Then he did it to the Bucs again in 2002, changing his mind even though Tampa Bay already had hired Bill Muir as offensive line coach at Parcells’s direction.
