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

The 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.

Yeah,
like that helped Stewart with Ware, Ellis, Spencer, etc. Defensive coordinator matters.

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

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.

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

We
can only hope. If any of JJ rubs off on him he could become an egomaniac.

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