"Traitor," Josh McDaniels.
The officially designated successor of the New England Patriots had shockingly decided to transfer, soon heading to the Indianapolis Colts to work with Andrew Luck. This major announcement had completely blown up in Foxborough.
But soon, news began to reveal what was happening behind the scenes:
Two years ago, Belichick had already told McDaniels that he was planning to retire and wanted McDaniels to take over the head coaching responsibilities. He asked McDaniels to be ready to step in at any moment.
However.
A year went by.
Another year went by.
Belichick was still in the head coach position, and McDaniels was still tirelessly assisting him as the offensive coordinator.
This year, McDaniels thought he was finally going to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but then Patricia chose to leave. With Belichick busy stabilizing and controlling the situation, there was still no sign of retirement, plunging McDaniels into despair.
