New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels met with head coach Bill Belichick on Tuesday morning and was talked into backing out of the Indianapolis Colts head coaching job, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Belichick reportedly chatted with McDaniels about getting him into deeper conversations on the inner operations of the Patriots. McDaniels could be considered a successor for the Patriots head coaching job whenever Belichick decides to move on from his post. Belichick has been the Patriots head coach for 18 seasons and led them to eight Super Bowl appearances.
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports that Robert and Jonathan Kraft were also in the meeting and laid out how they felt about McDaniels and the process moving forward.
