Stunning Allegation: Former Patriots Coach Josh McDaniels Sold Player Due to Wife Envy
Absurd Charges: Former New England Patriots Head Coach Josh McDaniels Sent Player Away Due to Wife Envy
Unsettling rumours concerning former New England Patriots assistant Josh McDaniels—including his jock strap, bizarre statements made by the quarterback, and the trading of a player due to wife jealousy—are starting to surface following his firing by the Las Vegas Raiders.
In the narrative:
Some believe Josh McDaniels will be one of the coaches to help succeed Bill Belichick as the New England Patriots look towards an uncertain future that may not include him.According to others, McDaniels, who has six Super Bowl rings from his two stints on Belichick’s staff in Foxboro, will be the offensive coordinator on a “dream team” in 2024 that has Mike Vrabel as head coach and Jerod Mayo leading the defence.
However, McDaniels’ standing is completely destroyed throughout the rest of the NFL. It goes beyond the fact that in his four seasons as head coach, he is 20–33. More concerning is how he unexpectedly lost his position with the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders.
Stories of caution against recruiting McDaniels, or rather, re-hiring them in the case of New England, are leaking out of every dark corner.
With his departure, Raiders players are celebrating and saying they are no longer have to “walk on eggshells.” When McDaniels chose to start the former Patriots backup quarterback at quarterback in Week 7, it was said that he “lost” the Raiders’ locker room.Critics also point out that he chose Matt Eberflus, who is currently under fire in Chicago after leading the Bears to a 5-21 record in a season and a half, as his defensive coordinator while he was in Denver.
Even former Patriots players like Chris Long, who helped the team win, are criticising McDaniels’ strategies in Las Vegas.
Alleged accounts, however, that are mostly concerning McDaniels’ troubling DNA and have less to do with Xs and Os are also making their way public.
*Had taken an unwashed jock strap from Tom Brady’s locker and pocketed it. “The one he tossed to anyone who ever questioned his football acumen,” Jackson recalls. “He would say, smell it.Any inquiries?”
*After dismissing experienced quarterback Jay Cutler, Jackson says, he told the Broncos players, “Fellas, don’t worry about the quarterback situation. I can turn a high school quarterback into an All-Pro.”
The wildest story, though, comes from Jackson, who was cut by McDaniels following a six-year stint in Denver that saw him catch 27 passes for two touchdowns. Jackson claims that the coach traded a player because his wife was drawn to him.
Jackson writes, “McDaniels’s fragile ego wasn’t limited to his time on the pitch. Legend has it that McDaniels famously shipped out running back Peyton Hillis because he believed his wife was drawn to Hillis.”
Within Denver’s media circles, the aforementioned story has been discussed. However, that doesn’t lessen how amazing it is.
There may be some logic to McDaniels going back to Foxboro to coach quarterback Mac Jones. But his once-blinding brilliance has undoubtedly lost some of its lustre.
