Bit hard on the Colts. He had agreed to terms, he had requested certain assistant coaches and he had never shown any indications he wasn’t coming. He even agreed to the press conference. Kraft offered him more money to stay and he went for it (among possible other offers).
He may struggle to get a job anywhere else after so badly and publicly burning the Colts, so he better hope his money is worth it.

Spoke with several members of what was supposed to be McDaniels’ Indy coaching staff. They have not heard from Josh McDaniels regarding the change of heart. Just as blindsided as the rest of us. #Colts

Apparently (just like when he turns the Niners down last year) the rationale is not uprooting his family. I wonder how the assistants he hired feel? They have families too…
It was very dirty. Not sure why you can’t see that. He waited until after they had publicly announced his signing and then walked away to stay with his mummy and suckle at her breast despite being, allegedly, a grown man.
Its a bad look sure but man if my boss said to me “I will pay you what you were going to get at your new job AND you have less responsibilities with a succession plan” and I get to work at the best organisation in my field (lets face it the Pats organization is the best in the NFL).
As IF any sane person is not going to take that offer.
Who’s crying about it moron? They guy has screwed himself over (and the Colts but he did them a favour really), after the Pats have dumped him he will be lucky to get a janitor’s job in the NFL.
