• McDaniels changed his mind after several assistant coaches had already signed deals and moved to Indianapolis to work on his coaching staff.
• The entire scenario may have hurt McDaniels’ future head coaching hopes, at least any outside of New England.

Several hours later, the deal was off and now some assistant coaches are stuck in a new job without a head coach.
