Could the Packers’ search for a new head coach lead them to Josh McDaniels? The Packers’ interest level in the Patriots offensive coordinator is unclear, but McDaniels could be positioning himself for the job, as Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports writes.

A handful of NFL assistants have indicated interest in joining a McDaniels-led Packers coaching staff, sources tell Robinson. One of those coaches pulled his name from consideration for a college coordinator position in order to keep that possibility alive, so there’s a strong belief out there that McDaniels could wind up in Green Bay.
Earlier this year, McDaniels agreed to become the next head coach of the Colts but ultimately left them at the altar. Despite his offensive knowhow, it remains to be seen whether the Packers or any other team would consider hiring McDaniels in this upcoming cycle. For what it’s worth, McDaniels does not believe he is “burned” when it comes to future opportunities, according to Robinson.
Of course, there are factors working in McDaniels’ favor. In previous years, energetic young coaches such as Sean McVay and Matt Nagy were among the hottest candidates of the offseason, but there’s a serious lack of NFL experience in this year’s group of non-retreads. There’s lots of buzz surrounding coaches like Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley and former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, but it’s not hard to imagine a club preferring the experience that McDaniels brings.
McDaniels also has experience in managing an elite quarterback, which should be a focus of the Packers after Mike McCarthy‘s relationship with Aaron Rodgers went south.
Who would even interview this guy after that stunt last year?
The packers would definitely pay him a lot more than Indy would have
And they said Aaron Rodgers would have a big day in who will be the next coach, and Josh is the perfect guy for him
Say
To bad their GM won’t pay for any players
Seriously we got like 70 mil in cap room
*Too
He went back to NE for money. Offer more
A failed HC then a bailed HC. I would pass lol
I think Bill Belichick was a fail head coach as well, what’s he been up to the last 20 years?
One outlier doesn’t make it any more likely one of the other 99.9% will buck the trend
Hey we should search all grocery stores for our next QB. Kurt Warner was a grocery bagger!
If they never hired a former HC they’d be nobody left to hire. These guys are hired to get fired and then repeat the process all over. To say you won’t hire one that’s been previously fired is ridiculous.
Trade Rodgers to the Eagles for Doug Pederson and Wentz.
Are you familiar with the salary cap, how it works and Philadelphia’s cap situation?
Who wouldn’t trade a guy with a world of potential at the beginning of his career for a guy at the end of his career? SMH
Hmmmmmmm
McDaniels also failed in Denver… probably should be in the article . But I guess you can compare this loser to McVay and Nagy, who succeeded in year one and two (for McVay)… sorry to disturb the media hype train for McDaniels.
He did have a playoff win in Denver with Tebow at QB
No. John Fox took Tim tebow, a McDaniels draft pick, and beat the Steelers in the playoffs. McDaniels never reached the playoffs with the Denver Broncos. And was fired in 2010 season after less than 2 years as head coach… elway wanted tebow to start, thinking he could draft Andrew Luck #1 overall. Both went to Stanford. But Fox made the playoffs with tebow.
I’d be hesitant to trust a Bellichek disciple. Autocrat Bill runs a tight show and it’s extremely unclear what head coaching skills someone in his system would develop.
I’m not sure McDaniels would be a fit, honestly.
He’s spent most of the past decade being Tom Brady’s caddy, I can’t see “this is the way Tom does it” flying with Aaron Rodgers.
The guy spent his entire career behind Billy. He was a train wreck in Denver. His offense is spectacular like the Saints or Rams. I don’t get it. Plus he left Indy at the Aisle. What gives with him? No it wasn’t “ his team” that won the Super Bowls it was Bills
Who cares?
2 yrs he’ll have the keys to patriots
Then the Patriots will be hit with the largest penalty for violating the Rooney Rule…money and draft picks to start off his tenure
you’re with the Taliban?
