The Indianapolis Colts thought they’d found a new head coach on Tuesday in New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. They officially announced the hire via Twitter. They scheduled an introductory press conference for Wednesday afternoon. They started publishing puff pieces.
Then McDaniels pulled a DeAndre Jordan. After meeting with the Patriots—presumably getting more money and possibly even assurances that he’ll be named head coach when Bill Belichick retires—McDaniels changed his mind and said he would not be taking the job with the Colts.
Stunner: Patriots’ OC Josh McDaniels has decided NOT to accept Colts’ HC job and will remain with New England, sources told ESPN.

You honestly have to feel sorry for the Colts. McDaniels did them dirty. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a joke or 20 at their expense. And Twitter has plenty.
Take a look:
