IndyStar update 2nd round

[Dewey 5]

Dan Quinn is out. He is staying with the Cowboys

I'm starting to think it's going to be Saturday....also the Rooney Rule is useless if Black candidates refuse to interview for your opening!

Raheem Morris is having a lengthy in-person interview with the #Colts today. Was told Morris was still with the team as of early evening. Morris is one of several candidates as part of Indy's second round of talks.

I think he could do well here, but what do I know?

I think Morris would be a good choice, he’s definitely toward the top of my list. At this point though I’ll take anyone not named Jeff Saturday.

I do as well because I'm certain he could put together a solid staff. From everything I've read he is very respected in coaching circles. That is important.

I like it. I think he is my top choice.

Then go get a crusty old OC who has no interest in becoming a head coach so he doesn’t leave in two years for a head coaching job.

What is it you guys like about him? Not arguing, just curious, because the numbers aren't good.

As HC in TB after Gruden, he went 3-13, 10-6, and 4-12. As interim in ATL after Dan Quinn he was 4-7.

As a DC, he's never had a team rank in the top half of the league. 17th, 17th, 19th, 27th, 29th, and 30th.

In fact, even as a position coach it looks like nearly every team he's been a part of has finished ranking in the mid-20's.

Sounds like the 2nd interview went well....but check out this comment from the article!

The one thing possibly standing in the way of Morris becoming the next head coach of the Colts is owner Jim Irsay. According to Jordan Schultz, general manager Chris Ballard and the front office prefer a candidate like Morris while Irsay prefers interim coach Jeff Saturday.

It also sounds like if the Colts hire Morris it would cost them 2 3rd round picks for compensation...that concerns me a little!

Negative. If the Colts hire Morris they RECEIVE comp picks.
