Agent Bob LaMonte is terminating his relationship with Josh McDaniels after he was blindsided by McDaniels backtracking on his agreement to become the new coach of the Indianapolis Colts, a source told ESPN's Dan Graziano.
LaMonte was stunned Tuesday when McDaniels informed him that he would remain with the New England Patriots as offensive coordinator, a source said. LaMonte replied that McDaniels was "committing professional suicide," according to the source.
LaMonte, upon receiving a phone call from McDaniels, expected the call to be a question about preparation for Wednesday's scheduled news conference in Indianapolis, the source said.
