RUMOR: Josh McDaniel and Pats exec Nick Caserio rumored to be in the running for CM/HC jobs in Carolina

[joemac]

I just saw this rumor floating around that Josh McDaniel and Nick Caserio have been talked about to replace Rivera and Hurney after this season.

Thoughts?

If it actually came from Albert Breer, it's got legs.

Can't really say I'm a fan though.

Year after year, people try to recreate the New England organization but without Bill Belichik.

And it never works.

Didn't the Falcon's fancy-dressin' GM come from New England?

I already watched that kid draft TeaBlow in the 1st round in Denver.  No thanks.

If it were the only reasonable option outside of Hurney/Rivera, I wouldn't think twice.

Where did Albert first report this? Is there a link to anything?

Can't get Bill, but how about Steve?

Can't find a thing on his Twitter. Breer does do a lot of podcasts, Periscope and crap.

Worth noting that Nick Caserio's relationship with the Patriots probably isn't so hot after they basically blocked him from getting the Texans GM job last year. Word was he'd still have a shot at it after his contract expired at the end of this season, but since then the Texans have announced that they're not hiring a GM next year.

So yeah, it's plausible. And I have to admit that at least conceptually this sounds like the kind of "swing for the fences" move that David Tepper might make.

Please no, McDaniels is a bad HC and can’t be trusted.

I lived in Colorado during the McDaniels/Broncos debacle. Please no.

[Toker Smurf]

Not sure how I'd feel because of the other failed Patriot replications. However, it says something to me that McDaniels went back there after he failed. Belichik wanted him back and he was smart enough to go back and learn more and figure out why he failed the first time. I know the The Golden Calf of Bristol thing sort of backfired but he lead them to a playoff win. I figure McDaniels was trying to go outside the box in a similar manner to what he had seen the Patriots do.

Better have him sign that contract in blood after the Indy debacle.

Also: the Patriots aren't exactly tearing it up on offense this year.

Perhaps Josh has learned a thing or 2 from his failure 10 years ago or whatever it was?  There were probably many Pats fans saying the same thing about BB and his time with Cleveland before he was hired in NE.
