ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos are turning from "The Mastermind" to "The Wunderkind."

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has agreed to become the Broncos' next coach, team spokesman Patrick Smyth said Sunday night.

McDaniels, 32, replaces Mike Shanahan, who was fired Dec. 30 after 14 seasons with three years and $21 million left on his contract. He's the only one of six NFL head coaches to ever get fired by the team for which he won back-to-back Super Bowls.

ESPN was the first to report the hiring.

Hmmm, I'm sure he will be a very intelligence coach. :P

He did a great job coaching up Matt Cassel this year...and he's done a great job juggling other losses on the offense...

Does that mean he'll be a good HC??? Time will tell...

Could I sign a contract and get paid $21 million to leave?
