    BobCarl provided this:

    IND: reports the Colts are expected to put in an interview request for Eagles OC Frank Reich regarding their head-coaching vacancy.

    NE: Patriots OC Josh McDaniels’ agent, Bob LaMonte, has terminated his relationship with McDaniels after he decided to bail on the Colts’ job.

    yep…

    have you folks seen the 30 for 30 on ESPN called “The 2 Bills” (Parcells and Belichick)

    chronicles their humble beginnings of coaching all the way up to their Super Bowl pinnacles.

    I think Belichick and Kraft learned a lot from Belichick’s not so smooth transition hand off from Parcells from both NE and the Jets to groom Josh McDaniels.

    My gut tells me that Belichick will be stepping down from NE sooner than later.

    Tony Dungy: Josh McDaniels hanging assistants out to dry is indefensible

    Tony Dungy: Josh McDaniels hanging assistants out to dry is indefensible

    Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy is not a fan of Josh McDaniels.

    McDaniels spurned the Colts having already told the team that he’d take their head-coaching job and already told assistant coaches they’d have a job on his staff, and Dungy took to Twitter today to denounce McDaniels’ actions.

    “I can tell you there is NO excuse big enough to justify this,” Dungy wrote. “It’s one thing to go back on your word to an organization. But having assistant coaches leave jobs to go with you then leave them out to dry is indefensible.”

    Dungy said the fact that McDaniels hadn’t signed a contract doesn’t change the fact that McDaniels gave his word.

    “You make those decisions before you say I Do. Don’t get married start a family then say I changed my mind. He didn’t sign the contract but he said I Do,” Dungy wrote. “That is common decency and integrity. You don’t do that to the families of your peers.”

    Dungy also said he doesn’t blame the Patriots for keeping McDaniels, but does blame McDaniels for violating a trust within the coaching community.

    “Has nothing to do with a Bob Kraft. This is all on Josh McDaniels. He’s a grown man and has to take responsibility for his decisions,” Dungy wrote. “I can tell you in the football coaching community it’s not even close to being acceptable.”

    Dungy is no doubt far from alone in feeling that way. And when or if McDaniels does become a head coach again, he may have a hard time convincing assistant coaches that he’s a boss they’d want to work for.

    Well, how can Dungy blame McDaniels and then let Kraft off the hook? Kraft also knew that if he encouraged McD to back out of the Colts deal, the assistants in question would/might be screwed.

    Owners are just innocent creatures driven purely and solely by the natural laws of competitive capitalism.

    It’s the people they hire under contract—players, coaches—who are accountable for things.

    For example it’s wrong for players to demand “obscene” contracts.

    But it is fine for owners to profit from obscene tv contacts.

    I am surprised by how naive about all this you are, wv.
