According to Tom Pelissero, the Colts have scheduled a second interview with Patriots OC Josh McDaniels for Friday.
Pelissero says that McDaniels will meet with team owner Jim Irsay and GM Chris Ballard and they will have an opportunity to further discuss their plans, as the Colts can’t officially hire him until after the Super Bowl.
The expectation has been for weeks that McDaniels is going to be the Colts’ head coach, so this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
McDaniels, 41, began his NFL coaching career with the Patriots as a personnel assistant back in 2001. He worked his way up to offensive coordinator in New England before he departed for the Broncos head-coaching job in 2009.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go very well for McDaniels with the Broncos and he was fired during his second year with the team.
After a brief stint with the Rams as their offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, McDaniels returned to the Patriots and has been running their offense ever since.
We’ll have more regarding McDaniels as the news is available.
