Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

So not to try and defend Josh McDaniels because I think it was a jerk move on his part. Having said that, the Colts have to take some responsibility in that they made the announcement before even having the contract signed. I get the feeling that Bill Belichick isn't going to be back after next season and Robert Kraft probably enticed Josh to turn down the offer based on that. Either way the Colts fans should be grateful because I really don't think much of McDaniels as a head coach.
This is a good analysis,
But man- what a wild turn of events,
Josh McD is a real goon,
Professional suicide indeed, sometimes, all a man has in this world is his word...
Dearest mother —
I write with most distressful news. The men have been hoodwinked. The deserter McDaniels is on the lamb, likely headed toward New England, my best scouts report. Was this a ploy to merely spy? We shall never know. Irritating.

Bill Parcells has a good description of that in his book.
I haven't read the book, but the Sports Illustrated website has a report on the matter largely drawn from the book. It's a fascinating read (link below).
Josh McDaniels' agent quits after being stunned by decision
Agent Bob LaMonte says he has terminated his relationship with Josh McDaniels in the wake of McDaniels' surprising decision to turn down the Indianapolis Colts' head-coaching job and remain the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.
"My word is my bond," LaMonte told Sports Business Journal on Wednesday. "Once you break that, there's nothing left."
A source told ESPN's Dan Graziano that LaMonte was stunned Tuesday when McDaniels informed him that he would not accept the Colts job and instead would stay with the Patriots.
LaMonte expected the phone call from McDaniels to be a question about preparation for Wednesday's scheduled news conference in Indianapolis, the source told Graziano. When McDaniels told him he was staying in New England, LaMonte replied that McDaniels was "committing professional suicide," according to the source.

This is how many of us saw it going down once he pulled the little switcheroo. But listen, based on some of the little games he and his fellow pats have played, this is certainly within his character. And here I thought he had upped his resume.
Word of advice....better not lose Brady, or the relationship with Belichick, because before you know it, he'll be out of work from The NFL. What he forgot was that some of the others in that organization play even more games.
I have no problem with McD deciding to stay in NE but he left it FAR too late to retain any credibility, this was as bad as that Atlanta HC who left a note saying he was leaving and didn't have the steel to tell the players directly.
He has done some good things with NE but everyone knows Brady makes anyone look good, look at how badly the NE coaching tree has done once they leave NE and the comfort of having Brady making everyone look better then they are.
Josh had a chance in Denver to show he was a good coach and looked awful, then he had the chance with Indy and chose the easy option of returning to Brady.
I doubt many people have much respect for McD anymore
If the Colts hire Eagles' OC Frank Reich (who coached in Indy before under Dungy) I think it will work out better for them in the long run than if they kept McDoofus.

Probably. None of Belichick's assistants have been successful as NFL head coaches.
