I really am glad we got Reich over McDaniels. A former QB, a great offensive mind, a much better leader for a head coach. McDaniels is such a worm, reneging on his word just shows what his character is like. I was in Denver when he was there, he rubbed ALL the players wrong. All of them. No one liked him, guys didnt want to play for him. I remember talking to one of their players out one night, a DB I think, and he said McDaniels was a dodgy pos who would duck you in hallways rather than talk to you. You can come up with all the great routes and schemes you want, but if your players hate you, you’re not doing much. Gruden is the only other coach I can think of that is so despised by his players.

Interesting info. Setting aside the whole Colts-Patriots rivalry thing, you really have to wonder about a guy who would prefer to stay in a coordinator position instead of taking a head coaching position. Even if (as rumored) he's now being paid a head coach's salary as a coordinator, doesn't he have any desire to take on the challenge of being a head coach? It's not like he's waiting for a better opportunity - by screwing over the Colts he's forever damaged his trust with any other teams. He might be a smart guy and a good coordinator, but he's not a leader and I don't think he would make a good head coach.
