Next HC preferences

[rcubed]

McDaniels has acknowledged that as well. He had said he didn't do things right in Denver and now understands what he did wrong and that he learned a lot back in NE. He said because of his failure he knew what to concentrate on and learn from belicheat. That's good to hear but I would still be Leary of hiring him.

McDaniels’ problems came as a talent evaluator as he tried to be czar of the organization like Belichick is in New England. With Ballard in place in Indy, clearly this wouldn’t be the case.

McDaniels was the reason Cutler demanded a trade.

Pro Bowls are a joke. Vince Young and David Garrard were pro bowl QB's too.

That said, I don't want McDaniels either. The broncos were caught videotaping other teams' practices under McDaniels. Don't want that cheating bastard on the Colts.

Because Cutler was a giant baby about it that McDaniels looked into trading for Cassel, a QB he had just worked with.

That says nothing about the impact McDaniels had on Cutler’s development, much less “destroying” him.

Never said he did that, I said the Bears did that. I said McDaniels ran him out of Denver, which he did by trying to trade for a QB. The current equivalent would be him coming here and announcing that Brissett would be the starter moving forward. Brissett is a great QB2, but Luck is clearly the QB1 here.

That wouldn’t be the equivalent at all.

The equivalent, I suppose, would be if McDaniels talked up Brissett, another QB he’s worked with in the past, and Luck got jealous and demanded a trade.

Again, that would reflect more on a petulant whiny jealous QB than the HC.

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

Yes yes yes yes.

No more pat em on the butt and do better next time.

He wanted to trade for Cassell and Cutler lost confidence that the organization was committed to him, and rightfully so since they'd just tried to trade for another team's backup to replace him. So the scenario I laid out would actually be fairly similar, especially since Brissett is a former Cheat.

Two guys they should at least approach-Tony Dungy and Bruce Arians. 99 percent chance they both turn it down but it costs nothing to ask.

No, and No. Might as well reach out to Jim Mora too.
