I don’t know how many times I have to say this. The GM doesn’t set the depth chart. The coach does. Ballard wasn’t forcing Reich to start Pryor, they thought the other guys would help elevate Pryor’s game. As soon as Saturday got here Pryor was tried at RG, then summarily benched by Saturday… the head coach. Partially I think Kelly starting the season injured is the reason Pryor wasn’t replaced sooner.

I do imagine that Steinchen might align more with the Colts build strategy since the Eagles also emphasize strong line play. So a drastic overal wouldn’t be necessary, just he would be brought to help mold the QB of the future and get that final piece settled. Last edited by Chromeburn; 02-12-2023 at 02:00 PM. |

If true it looks like Jimmy got involved only when he felt the wheels were falling off. Then back to letting the professionals run the place. So much for all the hissy fits being thrown about us being a clown show. Fuck everyone for thinking the can get in our crazy owners head

Anyway, I'm happy with Streichen. IMO it's a really good hire. Admittedly I'm a bit surprised he considered coming to the Colts after Sirianni got all butt hurt about Frank being fired, but glad he did. Last edited by IndyNorm; 02-12-2023 at 04:40 PM. |

Not to speak about the intangibles, but the transition to Steichen's offensive system seems like it should be quickest we could've gotten from an new HC.
-Frank Reich (QB Coach) and Nick Sirianni (OQC) started in SD together in 2013. -Reich moves to OC, Sirianni moves to QB coach, and Steichen joins as OQC for 2014 and 2015. -Reich leaves for PHI OC job, Sirianni moves to WR coach, Steichen takes over as QB coach, work together 2016 and 2017. -Sirianni joins Reich in IND in 2018, Steichen promotes from QB coach to OC from 2018-2020. -Steichen joins Sirianni in PHI in 2021 and 2022. |

Anyway yeah, I think he was one of the favorable candidates. |

Steichen can't be any less innovative than Reich was. I do hope that he has some other traits, such as leadership and accountability, that Reich also seemed to lack. |

Yeah, I agree. Most people (not all) would try to put their best foot forward in an interview and try to smooth over any rough patches. I think where Ballard went wrong with that hire was trusting his agent too much. Remember that Ballard's agent also represented McVisor. I would bet that Ballard asked his agent some questions to gather some intel about McVisor and was expecting candid feedback. Anyways the agent cut ties with McVisor after that stunt. |
