Made that comment to my dad earlier. I wouldn't doubt if he comes back but my guess is he will be looking for a real OC job
I think he made some derogatory comments about Shanahan at some point. I wouldn't expect him to come back. I think he feels like Kyle held him back and didn't give him the credit he deserved.
Didn't know that
Dude got a HC job without a ton of experience like normal guys have, not sure how Kyle held him back lol
Again, I can't recall where I heard/read this. I listened to a podcast with a lot of the coaches from the Shanahan tree a while back, and maybe that was it. McDaniels felt/feels marginalized by the inherent nepotism of NFL coaching circles. Tough to blame him for that when he was surrounded by Shanahans, Kubiaks, McVays, Lombardis. He didn't feel like he got a legitimate shot early on, had to fight and claw for what he did get, and then felt that Shanahan kind of held him down, used his ideas, got all the credit, and he was overlooked.
That last might go too far. As you say, he landed a HC gig at a young age and with relatively little experience. But I think he holds a lot of resentment toward Kyle and some of the others who had a much easier road.
