Let's list the potential next Colts coach candidates
 

I'll start it off with 5, everybody please list some as well. I'm just throwing names out there in no particular order or preference...3 obvious and 2 not so much so.

Jim Harbaugh, Jeff Saturday, David Shaw, Ryan Day, Matt Campbell

Saw Leslie Frazier linked to us today.

Ok my list would be

Keep Saturday but get him a real offensive coordinator

Demeco Ryans

One of Shanahans assistants that sits around playing madden in his off time because that’s who has the best offenses in the league right now

Irsays list ….

Peyton Manning

Jeff Saturday

Rick Venturi

John Mellencamp

Chris Stapleton

1) Bruce Arians

2) Shane Steichen

3) DeMeco Ryans

Harbaugh would be my number 1 pick if I thought there was a chance in hell of him taking the job!

Kellen Moore should probably be added to the list.

I don't know much at all about that Dan Dakich guy but he apparently said his "sources" are telling him Irsay is going to bring Saturday & Ballard back. Not good news for Colts fans.

If true, expect Ryan to be back behind center as well!

Are people listing Saturday because they want him or because they think he’s a likely Irsay candidate?

Candidate.

Harbaugh has never shied away from taking jobs for programs that were in the dumps.

Stanford was 1-11 the year before he took over, and they were 12-1 and Orange Bowl champions in his 4th and final season there.

Perennial powerhouse Michigan was an unthinkable 5-7 the year before he got there, and he immediately got them a 10-3 record and a #11 ranking in his first season there. They had also lost to Ohio State 12 out of 14 times before Harbaugh got there ...... Michigan has won their last 2 meetings with the Buckeyes, each time advancing to the Division I-A College Football Playoff.

The 49ers were 6-10 the year before he got there in 2010, and hadn't had a winning season since 2002. In his first season there the 49ers made it to the NFC Championship game, and they made it to the Super Bowl in his second season with them.


I don't think that Harbaugh is coming here either, but it wouldn't be beyond him to take the challenge if he weren't already so well set up at his Alma Mater in Ann Arbor.

On Monday, I heard Kravitz tell JMV that his sources are saying Ballard will be back, also. Don’t know how good his sources are since he’s no longer at IndyStar but back in the day I thought they were good? He also said that Sean Payton wants no part of the shit show that is the colts.
