I know I will get a lot of hate replies over this, but think about it. Freeney is a zone DE and he does that job well. Could you really see him playing well on the Ravens defense? I can't.
I love Freeney but this may be the end for him.
If it is then Thank You Dwight for all of the GREAT Memories!
We can't afford to pay him that much money.

*MEDIA ADVISORY* COLTS TO HOLD 3 P.M. PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW TO ANNOUNCE CHUCK PAGANO AS TEAM’S NEW HEAD COACH

It wouldn't matter if our Head Coach was "defensive-minded," because that's not his job. His is to instill leadership, attitude, an overall gameplan, and some measure of player control. He has to be concerned with both sides of the balk, but not at the micro level. If our HC starts trying to micro-manage one side of the ball, we will be in trouble. His job is to hire coordinators he can delegate to. Whatever the future of the Colts defense will look like will be 100% up to the DC, not the HC...that is, unless we want to fail.
This is absolutely correct.
Liked!

Well Somebody in Miami wants him bad and he is on the top of their wish list. Didnt think I would hear the day Manning might be a Dolphin. I would have to root for them BUT if that day comes please bring Reggie with u Peyton. Dolphin stadium is alot closer afterall. lol
It is sad knowing that might actually be possible. OUCH!

I didn't see it. Is it online somewhere?

Honest question - would you have felt better if I just simply said that his interpretation of the commercial was a stretch instead of asking if he pulled a muscle in doing so? Would that have met your standard of decency?
It's not about what I want. It is about the standard the forum is trying to set across the board. If you notice, I have said that I don't think it amounts to much, but I didn't belittle the guy in the process. It was nice to see Peyton joking around and having fun. It lifted my spirits about him returning. Did it not lift yours?

Like the way 85% of the fans on these boards have taken NOTHING and turned it into "Manning's career is over." They reach, every day, far more than those who know he will return.
I liked this post because it shows very clear the other side of things.
Well played.

I think you must have misunderstood. I didn't hear that at all
Did anyone else hear that?
It was the day we fired Polian.

Jim Irsay Press Conference Posted 01/02/12
I guess I will be nice and save you time by letting you know to skim forward at the 33 minute mark. ;)

Just saw on twitter colts NOT hiring tress for HC
That is what I figured. I think he is a candidate to coach the quarterbacks, receivers, or running backs tho.
-
I think Dungy was just saying that he is hearing that Jim Tressel has a chance
It looks like a mistype to me. They say Caldwell and then say Tressel.
That's what I was pointing out and I thought the other poster caught that as well.
-
I think you must have misunderstood. I didn't hear that at all
Did anyone else hear that?
I don't think I misunderstood. He said it clearly.
-
I missed that, when did he say that?
In one of the press conferences he had. I think it was when we hired Griggs.
-
Not sure who that is, but I hope everyone is sensing the sarcasm here
I think it is the same thing Irsay was tweeting about last week. Something mushy between our toes. ;)
-
I hear they are interviewing Jim Caldwell this week :wave:
I saw that to. lol
"Still, Caldwell may get the job without a test drive. Tony Dungy of NBC’s Football Night In America said on Monday’s edition of The Dan Patrick Show that he believes owner Jim Irsay has a person in mind — and that Dungy is hearing the person may be Jim Tressel."

Whitlock, is that you??
NICE!!

I dont like it '59...
.....I dont want one of those surprises to be the release of a certain country boy QB
Vincennes isn't really a cowboy place. It's just small.
By the way, if you ever do go there, make sure you stop at one the Bobes pizza places. That pizza is fantastic!

Nick Saban.

Jim Tressel has been characterized as boring, too conservative, and inexperienced at the NFL level by many on this board. Years ago, similar criticisms were made against a coach named Tom Landry. How did he turn out?
True.
Tressel brings the running game. He flat out grinds it out.
-
If Glanville is the coach, no doubt Jeff George will be begging for a job.
Jeff George for OC. ;)

Since Irsay says we will have a coach soon and there will be some surprises over the next few weeks, I am curious who you think the HC will be after that is said. I know Tressel is getting a lot of press in that area. But my darkhorse pick is Jon Gruden.
1) He is very good with the West Coast offense, which is pretty much what the Eagles have run under Reid. Grigson is already schooled in getting players for that type of team.
2) He is still considered a great developer of NFL QBs. Very enticing for Andrew Luck and very QB friendly for Peyton Manning.
3) He has never stopped his gushing of Peyton Manning.
4) He lives in Florida and that is where the Irsay jet has been rumored to have been.
I honestly think Gruden is a good HC. The problem with him, with many coaches, is that he started getting too much input in personnel. And he never had a real good QB at TB. But if he simply coached, he could be very good. He fits the profile.
That is my surprise pick. Curious who you all think the HC will be?
The only thing that makes me believe it is not Gruden is something that Irsay said in a recent press conference. Irsay said he wants a coach with the demeanor of never being too up or being too down. He said he liked that Caldwell was always the same tone every week.
Hey I love Gruden and if he is the guy then bring him on. But it doesn't add up to me.

One of the big complaints about Caldwell was his only meaningful HC experience was at Wake Forest and his record was not that good.
Tressel, if nothing else, is a winner. Unlike some, I don't sweat what he did at Ohio State too much. We are talking *ic NCAA rules- the most conveluted, stupid set of rules ever created for managing a sport. That he tried to help his players, when as college students, they >>>ed up- is not a crime. He is known as a great game planner and game manager- something we have sorely missed these last few years. He is also a players coach, something that we have had around here for a while and I think that plays in his favor with Irsay in particular.
If he is hired, I would not be terribly surprised. It would be interesting to see what kind of staff he could compile. If he is hired, would like to see him get strong OC & DC's who know NFL football rather than college coaches. If he's not hired- won't be surprised if he sticks around here in one capacity or another.
Really just don't want to see them take a flyer on some assistant with no proven leadership ability. One of the reasons I liked Grigson's comment about leadership. You don't have to have a screamer on the sidelines, but you do have to have someone who can be respected and creates a positive atmosphere to win games.
You are making a strong case. I can't disagree with any of that.
It Makes No Sense To Keep Freeney Now
in Colts Football

I am just preparing myself for this cause there is a very good chance I am right here.
I am just not seeing where Freeney fits into this picture.
We run like 99% zone and probably 40-50% of it isTampa2. Perfect for Freeney, but I think those days are long gone.
