Might be, all that stood between Josh McDaniels taking the HC job at Indianapolis was an unusually long bathroom break.

According to Outkick’s Dan Dakich, who cited Colts sources, McDaniels’ wife Laura made him reject an offer from team owner Jim Irsay due to some odd behavior put on display at their home in Massachusetts, which included an absurdly long bathroom break.

My sources inside the colts GREAT

Got this today ⬇️

“McDaniel’s wife made him pull the plug after having Irsay in their home in Massachusetts & observing his odd behavior. Behavior that included being in the McDaniel’s family bathroom for a very long & awkward period of time.”

McDaniels ended up in Las Vegas with the Raiders but his first season in charge fell short of success as he failed to get them into the playoffs. The Colts didn’t make it either.

That is quite possibly the weirdest reason someone has ever turned a job down in the history of both jobs and weirdness. And it raises many questions.

Did Laura consider the fact that Jim’s in his 60s and may have some health issues that make it so he has to spend more time in the bathroom? Or maybe he did a number two and wasn’t comfortable coming out until the stench went away?
