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
I see McDaniels as a terrible fit here. The Patriots have a massive amount of scouts. A great GM. A great HC.
He'd have none of that here.
