As a Pats fan, I'm happy with this move. McDaniels is a better coordinator than coach at this young age and stage, and he's a more than adequate replacement for Bill O'Brien and more palatable to many Pats fans than a Mike Martz.
As a Chiefs supporter, I'm conflicted. I'm a bit disappointed because I think McDaniels would've made a fine OC under Romeo. But I'm sure the plan was to move McDaniels into the HC spot in a season or two, where I don't think he's ready to succeed yet, so as a Chiefs supporter I'm also pleased that he's not going there. (Maybe when Belichick retires--probably around 2028--McDaniels will be ready to coach again, LOL.) And if the Chiefs had signed JMD they might have been inclined to keep Cassel to see what Josh could do with/for him, so for the Cassel-haters (a/k/a "almost all Chiefs fans") this is probably best.
