Is Josh McDaniels a real possibility?

[Dirtbag59]

When I first saw this thread I thought you were making a case for some draft prospect named Josh McDaniels. I mean to me the guy is known as the Patriots O-Coordinator. Anyway I think there to many factors working against this.

1. The guy is old enough to be a player
2. The hire wouldn't really be the "sexy" kind of hire that Snyder is known for.
3. As someone pointed out Bellicheck would probably advise McDaniels against taking the Redskin job
4. You already got Zorn and on that note the HC would have to mesh with Zorn in terms of offensive phillosophy (Fassel and Mooch).

and on a personal note I don't rush the gun to call a guy an offensive genius that has had the type of pieces that McDaniels has had to work with especially when hes only been working as a coordinator for two years and an offensive coach for 4.

no offense to the case your making but your basically saying that if the Patriots win the Superbowl that McDaniels wouldn't be a "sexy" hire? C'Mon, and Fassell is? I understand that the Patriots have great offensive targets on the field for Tom Brady but look at last year and the previous year. I wouldn't say their offense sucked. Del Rio, Gruden were both young when they started and looked how they helped turn their franchises around. And last, I was just stating that he would be a good candidate to interview, simply that. I'm not stating that he should be our head coach but just merely a candidate.

Out of McDaniels, Fassell, and Spagnulo JM is my top choice. Through Mucch into the mix and Id be ok with either. Im just saying I prefer JM over Fassell and Spags. Give it a go with a young guy with new ideas. Can you imagine an offense where everyone gets the ball? God what a dream. Im ok if DS hires him.

Unless McDaniels will bring Tom Brady with him, my guess is that he'll be a complete bust wherever he goes.

Similar to Norv without Aikman, Smith and Irvin.

McDaniels lacks head coaching experience. Doesn't it make sense (in the Skins' case) to have a seasoned head coach who has worked with a full staff under him -- and with an owner over him?
