Except the Patriots are actually good, unlike us.
McDaniels went to the Broncos and alienated Cutler (he really wanted to bring Cassel with him) and Mashall and then traded up to get Tebow. To compare that to here it would be like him coming here and telling Dalton and Green to take a hike, trying to get Jacoby Brisset here at all costs, and then trading up to take (insert gimmick QB here). The guy knows he's a second banana and he's in the best place to be a second banana.
Anyone who wants to be a head coach, and there are dozens of coordinators that do, know that they will end up at a "lousy" team for their shot at it. They make that move anyway because head coaching is their goal. They all also walk in the door thinking/knowing they will be the coach that turns things around. Ego plays into job decisions too. Good teams are not generally replacing head coaches and if one retires that is almost always an in-house hire for his replacement.
Josh McDaniels was not ready to be a head coach yet when he worked for the Broncos. I would certainly hope he has learned more in the years since then. Don't forget that Bill Belichick when he was with the Browns wasn't the guru he is now. I'm not saying that McDaniels is the answer for sure but I not willing to take him off the short list simply because of the Bronco experience
Winning makes believers of us all
