Though the Indianapolis Colts are in a very good place and have one of the best head coaches in the league in Frank Reich, fans can’t help but look back on Josh McDaniels weaseling his way out of his agreement with the franchise a few years back. Then again, it paved the way for Reich, so we can’t really complain.
But we can view it as cowardly and unprofessional, which now may have Indy fans feeling some sort of way since McDaniels has reportedly gotten an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles about their head coaching vacancy.
Ohhhh now Mr. McDaniels will consider leaving New England when his stock is at an all-time low because he was unable to make anything of a Cam Newton-led offense in 2020.

Ah, perfect. McDaniels interviewing for quite literally one of the worst head coaching jobs in the NFL. Poetic justice, even though it may feel unfair that he’s even getting a THIRD chance.
The Eagles have arguably the most troubling cap situation of any team, are enduring a quarterback controversy like no other, and no doubt had their fair share of internal issues that will be hard to overcome after the tumultuous 2020 season under Doug Pederson, which culminated in him benching Jalen Hurts in the fourth quarter of a game in which they had the chance to eliminate one of their division rivals from the postseason.

If this is the only look McDaniels is going to get this offseason, Colts fans should be sitting back and laughing. Their team is an up and coming playoff contender while both the Patriots and Eagles are floundering … and McDaniels is offensive coordinator for the former and is apparently somewhat coveted by the latter.
Skipping town on the Colts might’ve been the worst decision of this guy’s career. Perhaps now we can now toss our grudge aside, appreciate our situation, and take solace in the fact McDaniels is going nowhere fast. No quarterback in New England. No promise with the only head coaching job he’s interviewed for.
Yeah, we’ll take that.
Colts DC Matt Eberflus taking Texans job would be huge mistake
Indianapolis Colts defensive coordiantor Matt Eberflus would be making a huge mistake if he took the Texans head coaching gig.
