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.

If Harbaugh were leaving we would’ve heard about it by now.

Teams obviously put out feelers to him. It appears he shot them all down totally.

This is also what i have thought for a while. Due diligence in the rest of the interviews.

I think it will be Toub or McDaniels. There could be something surprising arise, but I would venture that one of those two is the man.

No thx to Norv.

Whatever it is, however big or small, the ONLY chance the Colts had at hiring Saban was for Alabama to win. Well, that’s taken care of. Now it’s time to throw money at him and see if he’s willing to catch it.

@ProFootballTalk
If I’m Jim Irsay, I make out a check to Nick Saban, sign it, and let him put in any amount he wants.

People keep beating that drum, but it is no better than Dam beating the "Pagano doesn't suck" drum.

I would hope that Ballard is the one making the call, not Irsay just going rogue and trying to sign a coach.

It's Florio, he doesn't know anything.

I don't want McDaniels. I don't buy for a minute that because you led a Brady qbed team to great offensive height you would do the same here. Being the head coach is much more about being able to hire the right assistants, setting the correct tone and managing men. McDaniels issues in Denver were not X and O's. It was his inability to manage relationships with some players (admittedly Culter appears to be an ass, but there are plenty of good players that are asses, you half to be able to manage them), something I think is difficult to teach. My choices (mostly ignorant because I've never met any of the candidates) would be Taub or Vrabel. To me they both seem like leaders of men, something this team has not had in ages. They seem like the sort of men that if Irsay said you need to fire you assistant coaches to keep your job would tell him to take a hike. At least that's what I want in our next coach.

Saban is not leaving Alabama.

That is much less likely than Harbaugh leaving Michigan.
