Toub and Nagy both make a lot of sense if Ballard gets to make the hire. Who knows if Irsay will let him, though.

1. Frank Reich
2. Matt Nagy
3. David Toub
4. Dam8610 :D

Urban Meyer, haven't seen him mentioned ? Any thoughts?


Personally not interested in ... Harbaugh, Saban, Gruden, Ariians or any former Patriots coordinator ... However rather have any of them over Pagano ...

:cool:

The Colts have been at the top of the league every year in QB Hits given up, no matter who the coordinator has been.

2012 : 2nd with 116 hits
2013 : 3rd with 109 hits
2014 : 4th with 107 hits
2015 : 2nd with 118 hits
2016 : 2nd with 128 hits
2017 : 1st so far with 82 hits

No wonder every QB in this system has been injured Luck, Hasselbeck, and Brissett

There must be some correlation between those six seasons and another element in the organization.

Where did you get these numbers?

Walk Worthy,

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

NFL.com statistics under the team category tab - offense - offensive line, and then the various years and then sort them by qb hits.

I didn't say if I did or did not want him, just responding to the list of possible candidates and he was left off.

If we are putting Saban and Gruden and Cowher as possibilities in there then Arians should be as well.

Don't forget how bad the Oline was and who the center was. Satelle

Hmmm...what could that be? Maybe Dam has an answer.

Think think think. I just can't imagine.

but we've had Ryan for almost 2 seasons no, not much change. I would think the rest of the line is upgraded too. I mean, it might still suck but these guys are better than Mike McGlynn, Winston Justice, and Gosder Cherilus, and surely even Hugh Thornton.

Man, just fuck you for typing that name! My whole week has now been ruined!

So imagine how bad Luck would have gotten killed under Chud with the old shit line of 2012-2015

Same shit, different day.

Irsay should be ashamed of himself for that group. He probably is. That's probably what made him fall off the wagon. Chris Ballard is the only person in the entire organization that I have any faith in. If he fails, we become the Browns. Like the bad old days.

Currently, this team could go either way, to the top or to the bottom. Most of that will depend on three people:

1. Luck, he needs to return completely healthy
2. Ballard, he needs to keep plugging the many holes in this ship
3. A (to be named) HC that:

a. possesses a vision of how to best utilize Luck
b. is no nonsense and won't tolerate boneheads
c. works with Ballard on getting the right players for his vision, but makes the final decisions on who plays
d. demands accountability from his Asst. Coaches

I think this will turn around pretty quickly. Depending on the offseasons of the other teams in the South, I could see the Colts making the playoffs next year.

If the Colts can get healthy and have just an OK coach they can play w/anybody. Some of the healthiest teams are the best teams this year. Eagles and Rams for example. We have some good players, not even considering the high draft slot and FA money we have going into next season.

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

Matt Hagy
Frank Reich
Pat Schurmer
Mike Smith
Mike Shannahan

I think I would be optimistic about MP as head coach and Brian Schottenheimer as OC...

I was an Urban Meyer fan when he coached Florida, but after he won titles with Tebow he knew he had nowhere to go but down with the fans and alumni there so he came up with a BS excuse that he needed to step away from coaching to be with his family. Soon after, he was hired to coach Ohio State, which is where he wanted to be all along, going back to his time at Bowling Green. I don't want him here.

Mike Shula from the Panthers has done some good things in Carolina, works with the talent available, creative, good mix of run and pass.

Updated list w/all coaches mentioned

Anybody think that a coach not presumed to be on the hot seat will get fired?

Maybe Jay Gruden, Mike McCarthy, Pete Carroll or Jason Garrett is fired, should the Colts be interested?

No.

What's bad about him?

My bad I was thinking Dave Shula.

Pete Carrol? I'd rather keep Pagano than that cheating MFER. Biggest POS in the league

I don’t know what kind of head coach he would make, but Pat Schurmer has had a great season as OC in Minnesota.

Bill Obrien.

Just throwing out names that could be available

I think he definitely gets interviews by some teams

Marty Shottenhiemer ( if he's still alive)

Why would Pete Carroll be fired?

No to Jason Garrett.

Like I said It would be a surprise firing.

That's a HELL NO to Jason Garrett. Don't want Saben either.

Yep, don't want Cowher or Gruden either.

Schottenheimer is still alive but has Alzheimers.

He lives in the Charlotte area not too far from where I live.

I bet he could still out coach Chuck. :cool:

Sorry to hear that. The guy got fired after a 14-2 season, that’s fuckin cold!!
