Via CBS Sports:
The Browns, Giants, and Panthers all requested interviews with McDaniels at the conclusion of the regular season. Belichick would not allow McDaniels to meet the Panthers on Monday, the same day Judge was interviewing with the Giants; Baylor coach Matt Rhule met with the Panthers on Tuesday and was hired by Wednesday.
McDaniels did eventually interview with the Browns on Friday; he was set to meet with the Panthers in New England on Tuesday and with the Giants in New York on Wednesday, prior to both teams filling their vacancies, sources said.
It looks like Belichick doesn’t want to let McDaniels go just yet.
It could be part of his plan to try to get Tom Brady to return for a couple of more seasons, although that might be more of Robert Kraft’s wishes than Belichick’s.
