Like Bill Belichick, McDaniels didn't do well at his 1st HC gig. He will be a stellar HC at his next, the New England Patriots. McDaniels isn't coming to our crapfest franchise. He will be Bill Belichick's replacement when Wild Bill retires, and continue stocking the Lombardi trophy case there. The guy is a brilliant offensive mind. He will be the head coach for a class franchise, and not joining the McCaskey's.

Or is he just good with Belichick?...that is always a looming question when discussing players from NE...but coaches might fall under that umbrella as well.

I'm not trying to take away from what Josh does at NE, but that team as a whole is a freaking machine...

The defense rankings since 2001

Pts against:
Top 10 - 13 years
Top 15 - 4 years
Yes that is every year since 2001 that NE's defense has been in the top 15 in points allowed lol

Yards allowed:
Top 10 - 7 years
Top 15 - 2 years

The 3 years Josh was gone(2009-2011), the Offense got better, yet continued to stay in that top 10 ranking for points and yards when Josh came back lol so who knows...he surely wouldn't be a dipstick coach, so i wouldn't be that disappointed.

It is so hard to say. No one ever envisioned Fox to be a dipstick coach (or at least I don't think so). But he is.

I always saw him as a coach that could take us to the playoffs but never win it. After seeing him closer up, I can see why he never wins it. He just plays way too conservative and the teams in the playoffs are good. You need to score point. But I never thought this would happen. I saw us at least in the post season by now and us losing because of stupid Fox decisions in the playoffs. It is happening in the regular season. Not sure why I thought he was a bad coach in the postseason but a good coach in the regular season. Either you are a good coach or you aren't.

Since I saw him get to the postseason so often, I assumed he had that down. Now I know he can only do that when surrounded with some really good talent. He can't actually build it himself. I'm just so done with him. These last 7 games can't go by fast enough. I want to know what our next chapter is.

That's the worse part for me lol I'm already in off-season mode!

Who are the hot offensive coordinators out there who could get an interview for the head-coach job next year? — @kezzy143

That’s a good question. There don’t appear to be red-hot names as there were at this time a year ago when Kyle Shanahan was a slam dunk to be hired and Sean McVay was gaining steam as a potential candidate. I’ll offer a list of 10 offensive coordinators who could get attention at the end of the season, including four who have previous experience as a head coach. Those first four names are Josh McDaniels of the Patriots, Todd Haley of the Steelers, Pat Shurmur of the Vikings and Mike McCoy of the Broncos. The other six are Jim Bob Cooter of the Lions, Frank Reich of the Eagles, Pete Carmichael Jr. of the Saints, Darrell Bevell of the Seahawks, Harold Goodwin of the Cardinals and Matt Nagy of the Chiefs.

Josh McDaniels -- Not Leaving
Todd Haley -- Hell No
Pat Shurmur -- Maybe
Mike McCoy -- Frack No
Jim Bob Cooter -- Yes
Frank Reich -- Yes
Pete Carmichael Jr. -- Maybe
Darrell Bevell -- Meh
Harold Goodwin -- Meh
Matt Nagy -- Maybe

I definitely agree with you. There are some moving parts - and nobody knows how a guy will turn out (for certain) until they step in to the HC role and coach. And I agree 100% you need the solid players - and especially the solid QB component in place.

The Chicago HC position (assuming that it will be open) is now definitely more desirable than it was before Fox got here. The defense has shown that it does have the players to be a top defense. And I think that in general Trubisky is viewed as a good young QB for a coach to use to win games. (assuming you actually use him as an NFL QB).

That was not the case the last time we looked for a HC. The team was really in disarray. It had poor coaching (ok, so not everything is better), the players were not that good and the GM was a definite question mark. Phillips has not changed and that was the source of some GMs turning it down, but in hiring a HC, that will probably be on their mind, but they will be more into who the GM is rather than the President.

Teddy can just continue his vacant stare and sign the checks.

Plus no one wanted to be the second head coach that Cutler got fired.

The biggest problem with McD when he got hired out here is he acted like a Belicheat Mini-Me without the street cred to do it and tore the team apart much like Trestman did in Chicago. There's a good chance Focks was hired here for the same reason the Bears hired him. To restore order.

The difference was Elway got him the players he needed and more importantly the QB he needed to win big or I fear the results would have been the same here as they have been in Chicago. He'd have been a .500 HC with the Broncos at best if Elway had not been able to sign Manning.

After seeing him in action, I completely agree.

He lucked out in Denver cause of Manning.
