Reply to comment by Lumpyyyyy in Eric Bieniemy reaches multiyear deal with Commanders as team's assistant head coach and offensive coordinator by RollingMoss1

McDaniels was terrible in Denver, accepted and then backed out at the last minute in Indianapolis, and then still got another chance with Las Vegas.

You’re skipping the part where he was the offense coordinator calling plays for 3 Super Bowl winning teams

With the greatest QB and Head Coach in NFL history. Seems like it was less him and more them, no? Especially when you factor in that LV knew about him being terrible with Broncos and backing out of Indy at the last possible second (screwing over multiple coaches and their families who had signed contracts and already moved to begin working on his staff).

You can give the Broncos the benefit of the doubt. Maybe even Indy (he just wasn’t ready to be an HC). But after both debacles, LV should have known better and deserve exactly what is happening by looking the other way and still hiring him. Historically bad decision.

McDaniels also got caught spying on other teams, Denver was 6-0 before he got caught, after getting caught they only won 2 of their next ten games.
