Next HC preferences
Just curious what your top 3-5 would be?
I'm at a point where I'm pretty confidently ready to declare...
1. Matt Nagy
The more I watch the Chiefs, the more I appreciate how truly innovative their offense is. It's basically the anti-Colts offense: designed to find ways to get the ball to playmakers in space, and not tip their hat as to how they're doing it. If Nagy can do what he's doing with Alex Smith, imagine a healthy Andrew Luck... I trust Ballard to unearth playmakers, so I'm imagining Hilton, Mack and a few other weapons in a Nagy scheme, and I think this is Colts' best path forward.
(I also think some of Andy Reid's OL genius is likely to rub off on coordinators.)
2. Dave Toub
If you can't get Nagy, get a guy who's A) not a retread, B) not a brain dead marshmallow like Pagano and C) runs a top unit. That's Toub, IMO.
3. Jim Harbaugh
Honestly, I'm not wild on Harbaugh. There's a big drop-off from 2 to 3 here. I think Harbaugh is a band-aid guy and I'm not sure he's the best fit for Luck at this stage anyway. But if you are going to go college/retreat route, I'm much rather Harbaugh than Gruden (worse coach with similar issues), Saban, etc.
