2. Josh McDaniels

Up next on the list is Josh McDaniels, who is currently a part of a well-known machine known as the New England Patriots. He spent most of his early career with the Patriots, before taking a head coaching job with the Broncos. After two short seasons with the Broncos, he returned to New England, where he currently serves as offensive coordinator.

In his first season with the Broncos, he led them to six straight wins to open the 2009 year. He finished with an 8-8 season. His next season followed up with a 3-9 record, and was subsequently fired just before the end of the season.

A return to coaching could be what McDaniels needs. With a team that doesn’t have the high expectations that a team like the Broncos or Patriots, he could build his standing up and work on turning them around into a respectable organization. He had a lot to learn when he was with the Broncos, but wasn’t willing to listen.

He’s spent the last six years listening and waiting for his next opportunity. When that day comes, he will bring a good amount of experience, knowledge, and patience to his next opportunity as head coach. He will have a better run in his next gig.
