Watch Patriot games and the playcalling/scheme they are running. McDaniels has a huge hand in it, calls the plays and they routinely maximise the talents he has. It’s not like Brady is audibling out of every other play like some are suggesting.
I think he’s in the elite band of offensive play callers in the league along with McVeah, maybe Haley and a few others.
As for Marshall, I have 2 words for you. Brandon Lloyd who decided to play his ass off for a year.Orton had better yards per attempt, yards per game, TD%, INT% and rating AFTER Marshall was traded to Miami. The only time Ortons stats dropped was after McDanials left..
Listen if you dont like McDanials then thats fine.. he was an ass hat in Denver and that is a legit concern.. But to try to make the argument that McDanials is a bad OC is just stupid

How'd he do as OC with the Rams? He is a good OC but he's not a god. We are also talking about him as HC. How did the team do beyond Orton who's 87 rating was repeated elsewhere. In fact Orton's rating was only 7 points higher than it was here the year before and in Denver he had a great OL and catchers. There was nothing magical about it.
when your starting QB is playing injured most of the year you dont think that has an effect on the offensive performance?

Yep you must be right.. he is a terrible OC.. you should call the pats and tell BB that he is a moron for falling for the rexcuses and hiring back such a terrible OC..I wish Rexcuses worked but it doesn't. I guess you must be Joshin'. It's everyone else's fault. McD did all the right things but nobody listened (ignore that getting people to buy what you're selling is a major part of HC).

My God the stupidity of some posters here is amazing..
The best part is there is a logical excuse for not wanting McDaniels.. all the issues in Denver are very legit concerns... But half the posters have to go full Special person and try to make the claim that he is a bad OC because of his injured QB lol
As Robert Downey JR said in Tropic Thunder.. you never go full Special person..

We can't hire him away as an OC. If someone hires him as an HC and he just fails because the team is bad or his assistants are bad then I'd be willing to give him a chance as HC. But when his last HC gig involved absolutely gutting a team that was on the rise that they still haven't recovered from, I don't think so.
Look at the BB coaching tree. All his Coordinators look great in NE and all fail away from NE. Saying that McD looks good in NE has him being no different than every other Coordinator that moved up from there in the past, including himself. I don't want to make too strong a point of guilt by association but he's shown to be below par as a HC in the past and there really isn't a reason to think it will be drastically different this time around. I'm not saying it's impossible but if I were Pace, this would be a big hurdle for him to overcome in interviews.
Another concern I have is Pace's personality to do this properly. He's likely fine for most interviews but in the case of McD, I'd really push his buttons and try to piss him off and see what came of it. I don't know if Pace has it in him. Not saying he doesn't but we've never heard of him dropping the hammer on anyone.
Just arguing against your glowing take on McDaniels at NE. Never said he was a crappy OC though his results away from NE have been. Don't spin this defensive. He had a really bad year with the Rams. There were reasons but it was worse than that. There's no debating it so instead you're putting words in other's mouths like I made the statement to be refuted when I did not. His track record away from the Pats has been bad or he would have been a HC for more than 1.75 years and done better with the Rams. Dude got fired twice in 3 years.I know that we cant hire him away as a OC.. But others have tried to make the claim that he is a bad OC so there is no upside to the risk factor with making him a HC.. which is the Special person part.. all of your concerns here are logical, saying he is a bad OC is not..
