The Patriots guy didn't have one to Mike Smith. Ozzie Newsome didn't have one to John Harbaugh.
I think McDaniels and Spagnuolo are 2 of the best coordinators in the NFL.

McDaniels is terrific, but I'm slightly concerned about the Bellichick effect. We've seen already from Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel that maybe Bellichick controls a lot more of the gameplanning on both sides of the ball than we realize. I might question if McDaniels is a product of a really good coach, seeing that Bellichick has gotten similar results from both Mangini and Weiss with the Patriots.
Don't know enough about McDaniels to say either way, but it could be something that makes you pause.
