from the Reiss Blog, bb's statement:

"Josh McDaniels is one of the finest people and brightest, most talented coaches I have ever worked with. Since joining us eight years ago, Josh performed a variety of roles and excelled in every one of them. Between his work on defense, in scouting, player evaluation and coordinating the offense, Josh is a very well-rounded coach whose outstanding body of work speaks for itself. He is the product of a pure football environment which is evident in his approach to the game. On behalf of the entire Patriots organization, we thank Josh for tremendous success in New England and congratulate him and the McDaniels family for this most deserving opportunity for advancement."


See mangini, all you had to do was go out west, or somewhere other then NY, and this whole Mangini versus Belicheck war would have never taken place.

I agree on the Mangini front. As for McDaniels, I think he'll do wonders for the Broncos. He's a very smart and young guy. Plus he's really got some talent on the offensive side of the ball. If they can draft some solid defensive players, they should do well.

Should be interesting to see who the Pats will be bringing in.

CSN's felger was speculating that BB takes over the role.

He did this after weis left I believe. Then the next year named mcdaniels the successor.

It's possible that BB does that. I still think he worries too much about that defense tho.

I'd like to get a proven OC that knows how to put points on the board. While Mike Martz system appears to be on hold, I know BB has a great deal of respect for him.
