Josh McDaniels just ditched the Indianapolis Colts at the altar.
Five weeks after the end of the regular season and six days into the month of February, the Colts find themselves in unprecedented NFL territory: Spurned by the man they’d announced just hours earlier would become their next head coach.
So much for Wednesday’s introductory news conference.
So much for marrying McDaniels’ offensive mind with franchise quarterback Andrew Luck.
So much for the contract agreement the Colts had come to with New England’s longtime offensive coordinator.
In a stunning move Tuesday night, McDaniels informed the Colts he has decided not to become head coach, instead choosing to remain with the Patriots, a league source confirmed.
