Fine with me. I wanted McDaniels if we go the offensive route. 

 

Everything I've read thus far suggests the job is McDaniels' if he wants it, and that it was between the Colts and Bears for him. With the Bears job filled, it's hard to imagine the Colts going with someone else now.

Starting to think that was all just smoke & mirrors.

Can we freaking interview Toub now?!

Someone mentioned that he hasn't been connected with ANY team this off-season. Noone seems to be interviewing him, not just the Colts. Is it a situation of him being surefire Colts HC or is it that he doesn't want to leave KC now?

Maybe the Bears didn't want to wait for the Pats to win the Super Bowl to hire McDaniels.

Not really sure. I like him mainly because he and Ballard have ties and had great chemistry in KC. At least that is what has been said by the media. He is still fairly young as well at 55, not young but not real old either. On NFL Live just now, the guys were saying the Bears were fearing we were going to hire Nagy is why they pulled the trigger.

Yeah he hasn't interviewed anywhere... maybe he's up for a promotion in KC?

I think if Ballard really wanted Nagy then he would have held out for the Indy job.  Since he interviewed with us yesterday, it probably didn't go well enough for Nagy to believe he had a chance at the Colts job.  Bears on the other hand scooped up the 2nd hottest offensive minded candidate.  They must have known that they had no shot at McDaniels.  So this all seems to bode well for those wanting McDaniels.  But before they all get too excited they'd do well not to dismiss Wilks or Richard.   Especially if there is any truth to the rumors that Ballard has been planning for awhile to change our defensive scheme from a 3-4 to a 4-3 Zone. Both of those guys are well versed with that scheme with Richard having ties to Ed Dodd.

 

As far as Toub...not sure he is a serious candidate right now since there has been no mention of the Colts even contacting him for an interview.

The is legitimately the dumbest reason to hire someone.

Here's why I wouldn't mind Toub.  

 

He's a great age for a coach.  He has great contacts to good coaching all over the league which makes me think he could assemble a good staff.  He has experience with both offensive and defensive players.  He's well respected by both coaches and players alike.  He seems to have a good eye for talent (you pick your special teams players from your crop of 53) and works well with Ballard.  He has tons of strength and conditioning experience (a serious weakness of ours) and he always has disciplined special teams units (which should translate to disciplined teams if he were head coach.

 

I like him more than Mcdaniels and about the same as Wilks. But I'd be fine with any of the 3.

Pretty sure they had other reasons to hire him...Like they wanted him as their #1 and got him before anyone else did. I've bought something before because I wanted it and didn't want to wait in case someone came behind me and wanted it too.

 

Not really unusual or dumb. 

 

They didn't go, "oh, the colts want him...let's hire him", without any other thought.

    • I agree.  I think this is another one of those over-hyped QB classes that will probably never perform to the level of the hype. But -- teams still need a quarterback.  And will convince themselves that that must take one of these quarterbacks.  That it's the only solution to their problem.  If I was forced to choose, I would probably go with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels.  I'm concerned that Caleb Williams may have some personality issues to go with his lack of measurables, even though he shows strong ability to improvise.  Drake Maye has the measurables, but I have questions regarding the level of opposition playing at UNC.  It's not the same as playing the equivalent of the Crimson Tide every single week.  JJ McCarthy is "good".  And he's been successful.  He led his team to a BCS championship.  And?  I see him in the same mold as AJ McCarron.  Supremely successful in college, but not good enough to be The Guy in the pros.
    • Right. KC was also a perennial playoff team prior to Mahomes taking over. The Colts are a fringe playoff team at best, until we see if AR can lift the roster.    And to your point, Veach took over the summer before Mahomes’ rookie year. Hard to compare how KC’s FO approach with Dorsey at GM (for several years) vs. when Veach took over. It seems like Ballard has been more like Dorsey and Veach might just operate differently from both of them.    If Ballard wanted to follow the Veach KC model, he sure waited a long time to do it once Luck retired. 
    • DeFo was an aggressive move.   But I wouldn’t classify Wentz or Ryan as aggressive moves. Getting Stafford would have been an aggressive move at QB. Wentz was cheaper and PHI was looking to dump him. They didn’t even budge from their initial offer to PHI  And Ryan sort of fell in their laps after they dumped Wentz. 
    • I think most important option is missing in the poll : No One.   I think it's a fairly average QB class that it's okay to not like anybody enough to draft him. There's no one QB that Wows you with their pocket passing Caliber or pure athletic traits or good combination of both. It's like a tweener class of all those abilities, having lop-sided combination of above said skills.    And, this poll, rather than forcing to pick one QB, needed that extra option to express staying away from this QB class.
