\"\"It seems that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels<\/a> will not be leaving the team after all. <\/p>\n

It has been recently confirmed that McDaniels has reserved his decision to become the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> and has chosen to stay in New England. <\/p>\n

The news did not go down well with the Colts as they thought they had sealed the deal and would get McDaniels to lead them into next season.<\/p>\n

In a statement, The Colts said <\/p>\n

After agreeing to contract terms to become the Indianapolis Colts' new head coach, New England Patriots assistant coach Josh McDaniels this evening informed us that he would not be joining our team. Although we are surprised and disappointed, we will resume our head-coaching search immediately and find the right fit to lead our team and organization on and off the field<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whoever gets shortlisted as the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts will inherit at least two of McDaniels' intended assistants who have already signed with the team. Matt Eberflus<\/strong> who was the ex-assistant head coach for the Dallas Cowboys was hired to be the defensive coordinator while Mike Phair<\/strong> who served as the ex-defensive line coach for Illinois was hired to serve as the defensive line coach.<\/p>\n
