McDaniels to Denver

I am a Patriots fan and even I am suprised that guys are still getting jobs based on being NE assistants. It didn't work out too well when Crenell, Mangini, and Weiss went out on their own after all. But I guess Denver thinks 32 year old McDaniels will break the mold and be a better coach than Mike Shanahan.

They should have just taken away Shanahan's personnell role and gave him a good GM who could pick a defensive player.

Mike Nolan is reported to be on board as defensive coordinator, perhaps a more important job given Denver's situation.

That will likely make a much quicker difference than the HC change will.

Perhaps that's exactly what Bowlen wanted to do and Shanahan didn't like it so they parted ways.
