Coach Watch: McDaniels May be Denver's Choice; Detroit Biding its Time -- or is It?

PrintThe Rocky Mountain News and NFL.com's Adam Schefter both reported today that Patriots OC Josh McDaniel received a second interview with the Broncos late last week, making him the only candidate to get a second look.
The News claims the Broncos may be prepared to "ease up a bit" before making an announcement. If they are certain their guy is not Giants DC Steve Spagnuolo, they may move quickly in the next couple of days. Any delay lets other clubs deplete the current pool of coordinators and position coaches.
The Detroit Lions may also hire quickly. Titans DC Jim Schwartz was rumored to be one of the Lions favorites, along with Cowboys OC Jason Garrett. Schwartz' Titans were knocked out of the playoffs by Baltimore today, though the Tennessee defense played very well.
Cowboys Castoffs Still Alive
Arizona OC Todd Haley gets notice because he was Dallas' WR coach under Bill Parcells and sparred verbally with T.O. two years ago. Cards DC Clancy Pendergast also has deep Cowboys roots. He was an assistant from the Switzer through the Campo years and followed Dave Campo to Cleveland in '03. Pendergast there served as former Cowboys' DC Butch Davis' linebackers coach.

doesn't matter
unless he takes, tuck, osi, ross, madison, phillips, johnson, and the rest of the gang…
Stability is key, and JD is a Beast.

It might still slow them down

Thats a legitamite fear

oh just read, Kris jenkins can play either position..
Calvin Pace and Vernon Gholston are OLB’s though. That is a lot of money locked at that position to switch D’s
"Protect the Romo, Save the Cowboys!!"
If our coaching staff...
is so responsible for the poor play of our team, then Spags has to be the reason behind the Giants D success. I hope he ends up in the AFC.
If JG does not get a HC job this year, that is a significant fall from grace. I hope he uses it as motivation this year and duplicates ’07.

The guys on the Pride of Detroit blog dont seem to want Garrett
"Ask Philly was it hard tryin' a stop TO, he da main reason that the fans would come fo'."
They only seem to have one author and three posters
but at lest theyre trying

Its easy to forget that JG
is still a relatively inexperienced OC…..i’m sure he learned a lot and was humbled a lot by experienced DC.

I think its reasonable to expect a big improvement from him next year

I think you need some success to become an egomaniac
JG doesnt have that yet

Hes still an assistant and that Future HC label might have worn off
