Sources: McDaniels spurns Colts to stay in NE

After two days of reflection and conversations with the New England Patriots, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has decided not to accept the Indianapolis Colts' head coaching job, league sources told ESPN.

 

In the past 48 hours, Patriots owner Robert Kraft began talking with McDaniels and ultimately wound up sweetening his contract, helping to entice him to remain in New England rather than leave for Indianapolis, which announced it would be holding a news conference Wednesday to introduce its new head coach. But McDaniels did not have a signed contract with the Colts, according to a source.

 

But this wasn't a decision about money. The truth is, McDaniels has been vacillating on this decision throughout the interview process, ever since meeting with the Colts on wild-card weekend. It is the reason a second meeting with Colts officials and team owner Jim Irsay was held. McDaniels was trying to get comfortable with the idea of taking his family out of New England and moving it to Indianapolis.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Irsay sues him. They had an agreement, according to Indy media.

Nah!! BB explained to him exactly what to say and do to prevent that from happening.  After all, who else has any experience in this sort of thing but him.  He'll teach him how to do it and even avoid losing draft picks.

Probably right, Ed. The shame is that the Pats don’t have to honor the rules everyone has has to obey, in this case contract law.

There probably was a conversation that entailed the strong possibility that McDaniels would be the heir apparent to the hoodie, and it will probably be the year after next.

That's what my immediate thought was.  Like Jason Garrett in Dallas.
