Head Coaching Search

Again per Rap:

“#Baylor coach Matt Rhule, following an interview with the #Colts, has informed the team that he elected to remain with his school, source said. ... Yes, he has rhuled Indy out.”

This is alarming if a guy like Rhule is telling the Colts no.

He felt more comfortable with the Bears. Hell, we lost out to the Bears twice in one week.

PFW is still saying that it’ll be McDaniels.

On the other hand we’re hearing that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is convinced he’s ready to leave the nest again and his preferred destination is Indianapolis.

While Colts GM Chris Ballard did interview Matt Nagy, who he worked closely with in Kansas City and is reported to be interested in Dave Toub as well, it's possible that his focus on McDaniels kept him from really going toe-to-toe with Bears boss Ryan Pace over Nagy.

Obviously a healthy Andrew Luck would make the Colts job a priority consideration for a top offensive mind, but will he be healthy?

We’re hearing McDaniels is preparing to bet that he will be.

Perhaps the Colts are telling candidates that they have an agreement in place with McDaniels. That would explain why Rhule and Wilks are getting out in front. It allows Wilks to focus on his other interviews and Rhule to save face with recruits.

As long as McDaniels has learned from his prior mistakes, then I'm fine with him...I mean he's gotta be better than Pagano...right?

The guy pushed out Cutler and Marshall and drafted Tebow. He wouldn’t have the power to do anything like that here.

His contract at Baylor is seven years $28 million. I guarantee there is a large buyout included in that deal that a college or NFL team would be responsible for. Drawing interest & interviewing with an NFL gets his name out there & more credibility with recruits. He was never going to be our next coach.

Probably fair and just Ballard doing his due diligence.

He may be better than Hue Jackson...maybe. Ballard hiring him would be the Trent Richardson trade moment of this regime for me.
