Robert Kraft Releases Surprising Statement About Josh McDaniels Head Coaching Rumors

The New England Patriots are at risk of losing Josh McDaniels as many NFL teams let go of their head coaches. The Patriots offensive coordinator’s name is still on the top of the lists. McDaniels was about to join the Indianapolis Colts, but decided to stay with his team, thanks to team owner Robert Kraft.

What does Kraft think about the rumors? “I care about winning Sunday. That’s what really what I care about. Whatever happens . . . you know, we have good people. I’m actually flattered that people are after our people,” Kraft said.

McDaniels could easily join the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns. these teams fired their head coaches. The Jets, Ravens, Cowboys, Broncos Buccaneers and the Bengals are also on the list.

“I don’t really worry about the future and honestly, each week is a tremendous challenge and we try to stay in the moment and focus on the task at hand, which this week is obviously considerable considering that we haven’t had a lot of success down there. This is a big challenge for us. I didn’t do nearly well enough in my role and my job last year when we went down there to Miami, so there’s a lot for us to look at and a great defense for us to go there and face where they play extremely well at home. All the other stuff is just, it is what it is and don’t really pay too much attention to it. I love what we do here in terms of working hard to try to come up with the best plan for our players each week and that’s where my focus is going to remain, McDaniels said when asked about the head-coaching rumors.

When reporters asked if he wants to be a head coach in the league, he said, “If that’s in the cards for me, then that’s great. I’ve said that before. But again, I’m not worried about that right now.”
