He should at the very least find a way to maximize the potential of the WRs and RBs, plus allow Luck to get rid of the ball quicker and take fewer hits. His shoulder situation should be less of a concern with shorter, quicker routes.
Yep, there are reasons for optimism and concern. It’s a hell of a lot more intriguing than what we knew we had with Pagano.

We've been waiting on that for years. We weren't going to get it with Pagano and company.

Agree, but I must say goddam I loved Andrew going off script and making shit happen

I'm looking forward to empty sets and fast pace I definitely feel like Luck will excel in that

Here is a wrinkle to throw in though it if happens :

Do you go after Mike Tomlin if he is fired by the Steelers?

Personally I think that would be a stupid move by Pitt. But the rumor mill is swirling of them being unhappy with him. Haley was fired already.

If we are moving to a 4-3. I would consider him as my DC, but fuck no as a HC.

He’d be a clear upgrade on Pagano, don’t get me wrong...

That said, normally after a team fires a coach, they like to overcorrect and bring in a guy that at least ostensibly offers the opportunity to shore up the previous coaches shortcomings.

The knocks on Tomlin that his teams are underprepared and underachieve are too similar to the knocks on Pagano.

That, and I think at this point if we left McDaniels at the altar it might be hard for the Colts to ever get a respected coach to trust them in the hiring process knowing that the Colts don’t negotiate in good faith.

Not to mention, there are terribly undisciplined on and off the field.

Sad that in this decade of the NFL there just isn't quality coaching or candidates. Experienced ones were fired for a reason and they get fired again. There are probably more benefits to coaching at the college level. In some cases the pay is much higher. The players are also not above you.
