BA said he was looking for "the perfect fit".  Makes me wonder if his "list of demands" for the potential teams was what prevented him from being hired rather than the fact that teams thinking the other guy was a better coach.  He probably was not willing to negotiate much on his "must haves" since he seemed like he would be perfectly happy returning to the Colts.

 

On the flipside if we end up with Wallace in FA I will wonder if obtaining him was not part of a deal offered to BA by the Colts as an incentive to stay on as OC.

Why would getting Wallace be that big of a deal to Arians? Not to mention we already have 3 receivers very similar to him-- tiny and very quick-- and one of them (Hilton) is already better than Wallace IMO. This is assuming we resign Avery, which isn't a given. However, if we let Avery walk and look to add a different WR, I would hope that it would be big target. One that can help Luck with jump balls and become a red zone threat. Luck doesn't have that right now and I think it would help him a lot more than adding another tiny speedster. He has enough of those. I suppose neither one of us knows the mind of BA, but I just can't imagine he is clamoring for Wallace given that we already have three guys just like him.

 

On BA, I am glad it looks like he is staying barring any hire by the Cardinals or Jags out of left field. I think the offense will look much crisper next season, and I think with an improved OL and more coaching up to not hold onto the ball too long/look for the shorter route that Luck can really take off next year in this offense. Not to mention that all of this year's other rookies not named Luck should know the playbook in and out if they did not already.

I don't see Arians going to Arizona or Jacksonville. Neither team has much of an immediate future and neither has even a decent QB. I think that would be a prerequisite with Arians. He likes to work with promising young QB's and neither team has one, nor do I see very good young QB's in this yrs. draft. IMO, I think Arians stays here rather than go to either of those 2 bad teams.

Arizona isn't that bad. They have a decent defense and have very talented wide receivers. They have a high draft pick which they can either build the O-line and trade for a QB (Flynn/Smith) or go QB (Smith or Glennon whom both have strong arms) with that first pick and add OL through the draft and FA.

The Cards aren't that far off and its not a HC job I think he's desperate for. I think it would be a good job for him if they can add those few pieces I think they are good.

If I were Arians, I would be upset not getting the HC in San Diego or any other HC job elsewhere.  He would likely stay with Indy and show other teams that they missed out on a good thing.  I hope Irsay pays him $$$ if he does stay with Indy.

 

Me too. He did an excellent job. Obviously, he's good enough to be an HC. I would be happy for him to stay, but also feel badly for him not getting an HC position.

If the Colts can Arians, that would be a huge positive going into next season. Luck doesn't have to change OCs, which is great for a young QB, and he can grow in this system.

 

With Arians, it's like having two head coaches on your team calling play for their respective teams. I think the last thing the FO wants to do is to look around and hunt for an OC. I hope he doesn't go to Zona.

      Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems.

      Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin

      I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
