I'd say McDaniels better be sure he will get the job in NE when it comes time. Sounds like he has burnt a few bridges by how he handled things. His agent just fired him.
Report: Bob Lamonte fires Josh McDaniels

He was represented by the same guy as the Colts GM. Colts GM is making him more money I assume so he probably had too.

McDaniels' stock took a huge hit with the Broncos stint and his ties to Tebow. If he would of went to Indy and had a couple poor seasons his reputation would be really damaged from a HC ability perspective.
So I can see why he decided to stay. But the way he flip flopped basically murdered his chances of ever being a HC anywhere besides NE.
Belichick is probably getting more and more disillusioned. First Kraft forces the Jimmy G trade because of Brady. Now he steps in to convince one of Belichicks staff members to hold firm and not leave, effectively acting as director of player AND coaching personnel.
Brady's influence there is tremendous. He didn't give two fucks about Patricia because the defense was horrible.
I also think Brady doesn't care too much about another SB loss, he won MVP and threw for 500 yards in the SB. He is probably thinking he did everything he could to win that game but his defense let him down.

Belichick is basically done in NE or dirtbag wouldn't have stayed. He still has all the cards on how he goes out though. He can be the good soldier for one more year...or he can try to force his way out as a giant fuck you to Kraft. It really depends on if he wants to coach past 2018 and for whom. I can't imagine after 17 years of complete control that he likes seeing it not only taken away, but slapped in his face.

Not justifying how all this played out, but situations like this can be avoided if the NFL implements a hiring policy where you can't hire, talk, or interview coaching staff until a day after the SB. It has always bothered me that teams are allowed to interview and "hire" coaches whose season is still ongoing. It's also absolutely fucking retarded that any team or owner would hire or fire staff based upon requests from a contractually unsigned HC who is "expected to sign", especially when its done weeks in advance. Even Patricia was supposedly calling the staff shots in the Lions organization while still the DC of the Pats weeks before the SB and that's just crazy.
