Wow! I didn't think that would happen this quickly. :shocked: It's a good move, he's a dumbass at evaluating talent and has a big ego.

I could see Harbaugh getting an interview for this spot.

i do too, but i don't think he wants to leave stanford unless it was the PERFECT opportunity

[Buffalo Thriller]

Other than Harbaugh, any other college coaches?

[Slim]

Makes you wonder what will happen with Tebow. Broncos are now in the Luck running.

[X-Era]

i do too, but i don't think he wants to leave stanford unless it was the PERFECT opportunityI think it's better than 50% that Rich Rod gets the axe too and that would be Jim's dream job.

ding ding ding, we have a winner

[X-Era]

Makes you wonder what will happen with Tebow. Broncos are now in the Luck running.They have enough wins to keep it from happening.

[Slim]

Good thing he didn't trade Cutler and Marshall away, oh wait.

[X-Era]

ding ding ding, we have a winnerMort and all those guys can say what they want, but if Jim leaves, I think Luck leaving would be likely. Why the hell would he go back to an all new coach and new schemes and give up the top draft pick spot?

[Slim]

They have 3 wins.

exactly, but to be honest, i can see either carolina or whoever is second going after LUCK...... problem is though with a new coach you want new blood

I agree, if Jim leaves, Luck will be a Panther.

Honestly, why isn't Chris Petersen ever mentioned? He's a damn good football coach, no gimmicks, pro-style football, hard-nose D. I'd definitely take a long look at him if I was an owner.

[X-Era]

Other than Harbaugh, any other college coaches?I could see some Urban Meyer play, but he's got a great situation so I don't see that.

[psubills62]

Don't think that's Jim's dream job. From the sounds of things, he's looking more to be an NFL coach than college.

[Oldbillsfan]

After ruining the Broncos roster McDaniels can head back home to New England. Mission Accomplished.

[RockStar36]

McDaniels has made so many bad decisions in Denver that Matt Millen was offended. This should've happened sooner, if that is possible.

Broncos interim coach, RB coach Eric Studesville, spent previous six seasons as Buffalo RB coach.

Reported to ESPN: Broncos have researched whether Josh McDaniels could be fired "for cause" stemming from videotaping incident.

[Ingtar33]

i don't think Jim ever leaves Stanford for any team not named the San Francisco 49ers

[Jeff1220]

Gruden? Maybe?

[Patti120]

Wow! Congrats and good luck to Studesville!

[TrEd FTW]

First six games: 6-0
Last 22 games: 5-17

Ouch.

McDaniels has made so many bad decisions in Denver that Matt Millen was offended. This should've happened sooner, if that is possible.

His first draft was about as awful as they come. Traded a future first round pick to draft Alphonso Smith. Then traded him to Detroit after a year or a little more for...I think a 5th round pick. You're 100% correct, his decisions were terrible.

I always knew McDaniels was not very good. He was just a product of learning under Belichick, and no good can come from that. I think if he goes anywhere outside of NE, he'll be a relative flop as an OC too.

The Broncos were my second-favorite team until McDaniels pulled that stunt with Hillis. The man puts up big numbers and then gets kicked to the curb in favor of a rookie, then traded for a backup QB who couldn't beat Derek Anderson for a starting job.

If that isn't racism, I don't know what is.

He still has a thing for his college sweetheart..... Ann Arbor

[Michael82]

Gruden? Maybe?
That's what I was thinking. Gruden loved Tim Tebow. He's gotta be tempted to coach him.

Oh no!! Did you get a new "second-favorite team?"

[justasportsfan]

thats not a good thing for us.

[trapezeus]

mcdaniels might have a hard time. it seems like most circles dont buy his, "i had nothing to do with the filming" speech.

He wanted to swim on his own. i can't imagine belichick helping him out with a 10-2 team. "you left us to run another team. why don't you come back while we were super successful without you?"

these are the risks of leaving.

[Cleve]

So I wonder how the Cowboys, Broncos, and Vikings search for a head coach will go, given the lackluster results of Buffalo's alleged search for a HC last year?

[Ickybaluky]

McDaniels was obviously not ready for a HC job and got over his head in Denver, but the guy is a terrific offensive coach. Charlie Weiss always gets a ton of credit as an OC, but McDaniels was a better play-caller IMO. He may have struggled with personnel stuff (losing Elvis Dumervil hurt as well), but he did turn Kyle Orton into a very good QB. The guy can coach.

The big rumor is Denver wants Troy Calhoun, the Air Force coach who was a Broncos assistant in the past.

I agree.

[DynaPaul]

The Belichick coaching tree has had horrible success.

[better days]

The Belichick coaching tree has had horrible success.

I agree, maybe they can't get it done without the cheating. Mangini seems to be the best of the lot.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I agree.
Which part?

[justasportsfan]

Which part?

he's a very good coordinator who was way in over his head in trying to run an entire team from top to bottom.

I think in time he could become a very good coach.

[tomz]

The real question is will McDaniels end up in KC with all of the other ex-Pats. Of course, he did have that 'moment' with Todd Haley...

[Jan Reimers]

He seems to have the extreme arrogance of youth, with none of the humility that comes with age and experience.
