When it comes to the topic of Josh McDaniels, there’s not a ton of middle ground. People either love that the Indianapolis Colts are going to hire him as their new head coach or they loathe him because of his New England Patriots roots and his previous flame-out as head coach of the Denver Broncos.
Many people simply understand that McDaniels’ time as the Broncos’ head coach went poorly, but it is also important to understand why things went that way.
McDaniels was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator before being hired as Denver’s head coach in 2009.
