NFL social media reaction to Josh McDaniels' decision

Published: Feb 06, 2018 at 12:46 PM

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels backed out of the Colts' head coaching job after the team announced the hire Tuesday morning.

Check out how the NFL community reacted to the stunning news:

Haven’t read the article but I can tell you there is NO excuse big enough to justify this. It’s one thing to go back on your word to an organization. But having assistant coaches leave jobs to go with you then leave them out to dry is indefensible. For COMFORT?? https://t.co/hlsYviDC9l

The really bad part about this is that the Colts are going to have to scramble and probably make a TERRIBLE head coach hire.
