that was quick.

McDaniels, Toub, or Wilks.

Apparently Wilks and Ballard were in Chicago together from 06-08 when Wilks was the DB coach and Ballard was a scout. Ballard's coaching background is as a WR and DB coach so it's likely their paths crossed.

According to SI (https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/12/14/st...nthers-defense) Wilks is likely to bring Carolina DL coach Eric Washington with him to be DC.

If Wilks if hired the drafting of Chubb is a forgone conclusion.

Does not seem likely the Colts can wait til Thursday. If they're serious about Wilks I expect the interview will happen sooner.

Outside the stupid decision to start a rookie for one game when they were still in a playoff race, McDermott in Buffalo did pretty well this year. He also came from Carolina's defensive staff, like Wilks.

Why would anyone want Wilks? His defense gave up over 25 points per game and was near the bottom of the league last year statistically. This year they gave up about 23 points per game (middle of the pack) after Week 2 and gave up 31 in a playoff game.

It would be like Pagano 2.0 minus the impulsive button clicking, maybe.

Jim Harbaugh would be an excellent choice. I would like to see Andrew Luck team up with someone new, get him out of his comfort zone and push him, so that's a negative against Harbaugh (and David Shaw who is also qualified) but damn Jim Harbaugh as Colts coach makes too much sense.

If we're talking about NFL hires than Frank Reich would be the #1 guy to grab.

Josh McDaniels is also qualified and a great selection but **** the cheaters and that guy.

This Wilks guy would be a WTF are they even doing hire.

I've got a funny feeling it's gonna be Toub. Probably has been all along with some mutual understanding thus no rush to hire.

La Canfora tweets that Wilks could bring in John DeFilippo or Norv Turner as OC if he gets a HC spot.

Interesting...
