The paper's here are saying they had "philosophical differences" regarding play calling etc etc. It's hard to get a read on it though. He was picked up by the fins less than 24 hours after parting ways with the Broncos?
My opinion is that Parcells called wanting Nolan, and you answer when Parcells calls. McDaniels didn't care because the old NE DC is available, so they both said "OK, cool, see you later". Makes the most sense to me.

Its the Patriot way. You don't talk to the media, you don't let the media or former players watch practice. I don't know if that paranoia comes from the Patriots assuming every one is cheating like they are? Or if they think you can create a culture of winning by isolating your players and coaches from outside negativity?
