My second thought was maybe there's truth to the rumors on New England about tension between Kraft, Brady, and Belichick and someone got in McDaniels ear before he left that a certain someone might be "retiring" soon leaving a juicy head coaching job vacant? 

Think about it....it's the perfect conspiracy theory. There's a power struggle up there and maybe BB is the odd man out? The benching of Butler and SB loss is the final straw. Kraft gets a 'yes' man and Brady gets a guy he likes, is familiar with, and can push around and bring his quack personal trainer back in. Think about it. 

I guarantee you that that rumor will be FLYING around the web tomorrow. 

One thing that might bolster all of this is BB is 65.

That's up there for an NFL head coach.

In fact:

Published before he won SB51.  So he's second oldest ever to win.

And he's the second oldest current NFL head coach.
