> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > As for the new DC, either it’s linebackers coach Brian Flores moving up, or Bill’s old buddy Greg Schiano. Not Schiano, [he’s staying at Ohio State](https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/report-greg-schiano-says-hes-staying-at-ohio-state-not-taking-patriots-dc-job/) after the McDaniels screwjob would have bumped him down a rung in the pecking order. > [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > You could say he learned from the best. Belichick was head coach of the Jets _twice_, but only for a day or two each time. You could also say that the Patriots are a scummy organization filled with shitty people. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > “The time is now,” says new soon-to-be-ex-Lions coach. Have you seen the pictures of Patricia at his press conference in Detroit? A nice new haircut, a neatly trimmed beard, a nice suit, you’d never know it was him except for the pencil behind his ear. > [@Human\_Action](#): > > You could also say that the Patriots are a scummy organization filled with shitty people. You \*could \*say that, or anything else you like that makes you feel better. 😉 ---

Option 3: you could say that Josh McDaniels is a tool, has always been a tool, and remains a tool wherever he washes up. The Colts, ultimately, dodged a bullet, even if they end up with Jojo the Dancing Circus Rabbit as their new HC. ---

Yeah, could be worse; they could have signed Jon Gruden for 10 years & $100 million. ---

When you combine that with the fact that they are the most successful franchise in modern football if not all time, I’m not sure what that says about the NFL. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-coaching-carousel-who-stays-and-who-goes-2017-edition/805531.md?page=4)
