the pats offense has always been fine without him
he thought he was smarter than he was

The Pats offense never was anything close to 2007. Infact, no one ever was a close to that machine, because it is the greatest statistical offense of all time.
Some of that had to do with the players and the qb, some of that had to do with the coach, and some of it had to do with Josh. He is a very talented offensive mind and he will be hired as a coordinator immediately. His play calling was always steller and his custom plays are now used by many teams in the NFL.
There are lots of very successful offensive coordinators who fail as head coaches. As mentioned, he's just to young to execute a Bill Belichick type style.
The typical NFL player is immature and has a massive ego. Are you going to take orders from some kid a year or two older than you when times get tough?
Nah.
