I like his idea.

Agreed, and there was speculation about a number candidates that had past affiliations with Pioli.

Also trying to correlate McDaniels to Pioli by saying Pioli just loves all things NE and therefore wanted McDaniels as his HC is a bit of a false assumption because no one knew how Pioli would operate before he actually left the NE organization. All the media speculation about Pioli and McDaniels being a package deal proved to be incorrect but some still insist on making the arguement knowing what they now know about Pioli and his signings of a few ex-Patriots. Hindsight is 20/20 but it still doesn't mean that Pioli was anymore likely to hire McDaniels than he was any other coach on his so called "short list".

Nice job of turning this thread back toward Haley.

Question from a reporter in 2019: Coach Haley what do you think about your recent nomination by the Senatorial delegations from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas and the Dakotas recommending that your likeness be carved into the side of Mt. Rushmore as the fifth face?

Haley (deadpan) - "Well, I'm not going to comment on anything that is happening off the football field". "When I do retire, that stuff will take care of itself." "My job is to continue to dominate the AFC and continue to win football championships. Next question."

Thank god I set the alarm.....;)
