News broke that the Patriots OC Josh McDaniels turned down the Colts head coaching job to stay with the Patriots. At first, I was shocked about McDaniels decision but after much thought, I realized he made a smart decision.
Why would a coach turned down millions of dollars and a promotion? Simple: The Patriots are the Silicon Valley of the NFL. The Patriots are the enlightened side of the NFL.The inner workings of the Patriots are light years ahead of teams like the Colts.
Here is a quote from the Colts GM Chris Ballard:

The decision isn't hard. Stay with the brightest and best in the business - Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady, or go to a team with a belligerent GM in Ballard an owner with a criminal record and a quarterback that hasn't even thrown a football in four months?
The Patriots are an enlightened think tank that continuously churns copper into gold.
The decision wasn't that difficult.

Here is a quote from the Colts GM Chris Ballard:
"I live in a black and white world," Ballard said. "Either you're in or you're out. I didn't want the explanation."
Then, as the press conference ended, Ballard dropped that "the rivalry is back on" line. The Patriots have won their last eight meetings with the Colts by a combined 214 points.
