I like this about Ballard;


George Bremer @gmbremer
Castonzo said Ballard's message to the team today was he'll work to bring in a coach that will get the most out of them, but that championship teams are built when players hold one another accountable. So it starts in the locker room. #Colts

:cool:

I'm going to start compiling names here, feel free to add.
This list is in no particular order:

Jim Harbaugh
David Shaw
Nick Saban
Jon Gruden
Bill Cowher
Jim Mora Jr
Dave Toub
Josh McDaniels
Matt Patricia
Jim Bob Cooter
Teryl Austin
Scott Linehan
Todd Haley
Dennis Allen
Frank Reich
Pete Carmichael
Matt Lafleur
Pat Schurmer
Mike Smith
Mike Shannahan
Mike Shula
Matt Nagy
Tom Cable
Steve Wilks

Pissin myself with excitement at how inspiring those names are. I can see the dynasty starting here. Although Bellicheck was coming off an uninspiring stint with Cleveland when he landed in the northeast.

I think an important aspect is a coach who recognizes that the "Spread Offenses" and the "Air Raid" offense used in college football do have a place in the NFL.

What Peyton was doing in Denver and what Brady is doing in New England have some elements of those offenses.

Also, if that is the type of offense a kid has been in since high school, it's much easier to get him playing to his capability when he gets to the NFL, rather than trying to teach him the outdated Chudzinski shit offense.

McDaniels is a decisively worse head coach, he drove a promising franchise into the ground in one offseason and finished his previous head coaching stint with a 10-17 record. Since Belicheat doesn't let them leave with the cameras or Ernie Adams with them, no reason to think he'd do any better here, and he'd probably run Luck off.

An emotional Bruce Arians announces his retirement as head coach of the @AZCardinals.

Could he be interested in Colts job? :cool:

While I'm not sure he could be worse than Clappy I do agree with you that McDaniels would be bad. He was a complete dumpster fire in Denver. Not a single Belicheat assistant has been worth a shit as a HC. And fuck those cheating massholes.

IMHO the short list should be: Reich, Nagy, Toub, and Haley. If they want to take a look at a college guy then James Franklin from Penn St. could be worth a look.

I'm torn. He's shown he's a good head coach, but he's also a QB killer, probably not what Luck needs right now.

Fuck off, just Fuck off, will you please?

Belichick was considered a failure in Cleveland. Shula was considered a failure in Baltimore. Landry couldn't get it done in Dallas his 1st 10 years. Dungy couldn't win the big game.

None of knows who the next great coach will be. But it sure as fuck wasn't going to be Pagano or Chudzinski, running the offense of the 1990's U.

You guys really need to let go of your hatred blinders. Remember when Caldwell was the worst HC ever, then he went on to win a Super Bowl with Baltimore as a OC and has turned the Lions into a respectable franchise as a HC? McDaniels was, as you put it, a complete dumpster fire in Denver, and he can't even blame that on not having a franchise QB, because he was gifted one that he ran off. I don't want his egomania anywhere near the Colts franchise.
