    I may be crazy but with AR coming back and Shane's stock is on the rise, I think the Colts have more upside than Philly has right now so not sure why Jim-Bob would want to leave here to go there. I think Philly is on the downward spiral. 

     

    Jim-Bob going there would be like someone leaving a job to make the same amount of money, but that job is tougher. Makes no sense to me.


    I don’t think you are crazy. They are set to lose one of their pillars on offense in Jason Kelce. They are going to 1000% regress at that position. Lane Johnson is potentially ready to retire. Their receiving core is very thin, as obvious by the last several weeks. and as you mention- tougher job, not very stable at all… If he goes there and they regress even further, he could be hard pressed to find another OC job right away… 

     

    His best opportunity for advancement is with us, even as a non-playcalling coordinator. There have been several coordinators come out of Indy during Ballard’s tenure and into head coaching positions. Shane is going to give credit where it’s due during success. If this offense continues on an upward trajectory, I think Jim Bob is sitting in HC interviews within the next few seasons.

    It’s been speculated all over Twitter but it’s just speculation. Not really  rumor.


    i don’t see it as speculation. There was a report through nfl media that said Sirianni has been calling people for the coordinator position and Jim Bob was one of them. So it’s highly likely he’s been reached out to and either two things have happened- a) he’s flat out rejected it and that has just been kept out of the media or b) he’s entertaining it and possibly has had discussions with Steichen/Ballard about it.

    At this point, it seems like pure speculation, especially because Philly has an OC at the moment and based on what happened this season, I don't see him getting a HC position.


    I don’t either. But nbc just posted an article saying “they could hire him.” 
     

    I don’t know where that even comes from, but it sounds like the media doing the eagles work for them. Maybe he would prefer to go back to Philly in a playcalling role and hence the desire to work out a deal. 
     

    has a trade ever happened at the coordinator level? lol.

    Desperate and good teams make their own luck

     

    I'm not sure that's how luck works. One team dropped multiple interceptions tonight, the other did not. I can't hardly say that the linebacker that intercepted Love is better at catching the ball than the defensive backs from the Packers that dropped them. In a rainy game, it's a little bit of luck (and bad luck) really.

    Good teams find a way to overcome. The Packers had 5-6 minutes to get the ball back or keep a TD from being scored. When it counted and they HAD TO score a TD, Brock delivered 

     

    Lol. I'm not discrediting his confidence on the last drive. He made some big plays. But I believe Mr. McCaffery delivered when they had to score a TD... He delivered several times tonight

    It would suck to lose him but I'm fine with it. Shane is the one running our offense and I trust him to find a replacement.

     

    Playcalling? Sirianni hasn't been very good at it. Although it's a lateral move, if he's a good playcaller, then it could mean the difference between being an OC and HC (like Steichen).

     

    It's 100% on playcalling. It's the only weight to the report. 

    But even then, Sirianni didn't call plays when he was here and still landed the Eagles job. A few solid years of good gameplanning and improvement on offense for the Colts, and Jim Bob will easily be sitting in HC interviews.
