So now that the dust has settled, this is the staff that will lead us to the promised land:

 

  • Offensive coordinator: Nick Sirianni
  • Defensive coordinator: Matt Eberflus
  • Special teams coordinator: Bubba Ventrone
  • Assistant special teams: Frank Ross
  • Offensive line: Dave DeGuglielmo
  • Assistant offensive line: Bobby Johnson
  • Wide receivers: Kevin Patullo
  • Running backs: Tom Rathman
  • Tight ends: Tom Manning
  • Assistant quarterbacks: Marcus Brady
  • Offensive quality control: Gunnard Twyner
  • Defensive line: Mike Phair
  • Linebackers: Dave Borgonzi
  • Defensive backs/safeties: Alan Williams
  • Defensive backs/cornerbacks: Jonathan Gannon
  • Defensive quality control: David Overstreet II
  • Pass rush consultant: Robert Mathis
  • Sports performance director: Rusty Jones
  • Assistant sports science/conditioning:Ryan Podell
  • Assistant strength coach: Richard Howell

 

On the offensive side I see A LOT of diversity in systems previously coached and/or played in.

 

On the defensive side I see A LOT of 4-3 cover 2 and 3 experience.

 

In Ballard, Dodds and Hogan I see three guys VERY adept at filling out a 4-3 defense!

 

Here we go fellow horseshoes!

You're missing some coaches:

 

Jonathan Gannon as defensive backs/cornerbacks coach

David Overstreet II as defensive quality control coach

Frank Ross as assistant special teams coach

 

Also Gunnard Twyner as offensive quality control coach, not assistant special teams.

Nope, Sirianni will be the WRs coach, if anything, besides OC.

 

Ehh... They just named a WRs coach, didn't name a QB coach. And Sirianni was the Chargers QBs coach before he was the WRs coach. 

 

Also, based on the website, it looks like Mathis stays on as Pass Rush Consultant.

:thmup:

 

As noted in another thread, our offense has been INCREDIBLY predictable recently.  More diversity in the play-calling would do wonders for our offense.

 

The defense is the big question mark moving forward.  This might be a rebuild-year since we're switching to a 4-3, but if Ballard and this staff can quickly acquire enough youth and speed, our defense will hopefully improve enough to be a competent compliment to an improved offense with Luck at the helm.

With FA set to open up in just a few weeks, Is it worth mentioning that Mike Bluem is still Director of Football Administration???

I always felt, that while not all, or even many of Grigson's FA moves panned out favorably for the Colts, the contracts were structured soundly. Hopefully Bluem can work some of that magic this off season as well to help Ballard land some of the teams targeted FA's while also avoiding a bad cap situation in the future...

 

Anyways, while he's not a coach exactly, I feel like Bluem (assuming he is the one helping structure the contracts) has really helped build the team during this part of the off season...

I'm liking the looks of this staff.

all seem like stand-up, hard-working men. But i am gonna keep my eye on that ST guy from the "dark side".

  I think we dodged a MAJOR bullet with the McDooDoo thing.  A few years down the road i think we will really realize this. That dude is a prima-dona head case. A franchise killer as a HC.

 Just think of the difference in player-coach respect/relationship of Reich and McDooDoo.  Not even close. I think we have some coaches our pkayers can respect and follow...truly follow. They seem to be good teachers too, which Ballard wanted.

i'm excited.  Now we just need to get Andrew back out there.

Is it wrong of me to like the Strength and Conditioning coaching hire best lol? I actually have some faith he might be the guy that helps with all these injury issues this team has had. 

If you are talking about Rusty Jones or something like that, he is supposed to be the best ever at his position.  Very excited about that guy.

I don't see Mike Bluem going anywhere. He's been one of the single best hires for the Colts in the last decade.

Reich did help Rivers & Wentz become better. Maybe a combination of Sirianni & Reich will be the actual 'Qb coach'. It's not normal for the HC to do that, but with his past success it could happen.

Very pleased indeed. Love the Frank Reich hiring. Glad to send the Patsy " back to his hole as well....Pats are going to learn to respect the horseshoe pretty quick when we get our hands back on them... I can't wait for a young, fast and talented defense. Put Brady in the dirt where he belongs...

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      There won’t be anyone to sign if they want that long. But they will probably see what happens in OTA. Personally I don’t think colts have a time line. They are on diggs and Simmons schedule. It’s up to them when they feel like signing.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By Two_pound · Posted

      I watched the Kansas St.-Texas game from 2023 today and Mitchell was outstanding in that one. One long td(47 yards), another long reception(37 yards) and he had excellent blocks on CJ Baxters' 47 yard td run and two other excellent blocks that sprung runners for huge gains. If you had only watched the first half of that game while scouting Mitchell and saw nothing else you would have taken him in the top 10. That is how impressive he was in the first half of that game. I'll add this also, when watching Texas games from last year watch Mitchell BLOCK. I'm no scout and I don't watch 100's of hours of film, but from what I've seen of him at Georgia and his one year at Texas I don't know how he fell to number 52. Welcome to the Colts Adonai, I hope you burn up the league this year! Go Colts!

      I was referring muscle-wise not his actual weight. Compared to the start of the season where imo he looked smaller, I think he added a lot more muscle

      But he carries it well.   Honestly I doubt he’s that big now….   One would think he’s in good shape now that he’s being active for the first time in roughly 6+ months.     Im just thinking out loud….

      CJ also made comments about being glad he wasn't drafted by Indy and how Indy is boring. I know he has the nice "humble beginnings" story, but he's making himself feel like a villain early. You don't want to annoy people that might be your future coworkers or employers. It's a bad look.
