I heard a grumor that Jon Gruden is finally wanting back in the game and has been quoted as saying he'd like to coach Luck and the Colts, Kirk Cousins, or Geno Smith. Would you want Gruden to replace Pagamo?

I know you like to be the contrarian with some off the wall stuff but try to at least post something close to realistic. This is nonsense.

Who wouldn't like to coach Luck and the Colts? I'd bet that half the coaches in the NFL would say the same thing, and would jump at the chance. I would also bet that Jim Irsay would laugh his "glutes" off at the suggestion.

[Alejandro Díaz Asencio]

Maybe as a Def. Coordinator

[Danfish98]

This would be brilliant.  Replace a guy that's taken a 2-14 team to consecutive 11-5 seasons with one of the most overrated head coaches in history.  If we had an opening at OC and Gruden was interested then sure, but no way for head coach.

What do you mean

[Dustin]

Gruden is an offensive guy.

[jvan1973]

Maybe as a Def. Coordinator

pretty sure he would be a terrible DC

Can't blame him, those guys would put me to sleep too.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

When did Ditka die?

As far as I know he hasn't.

[jvan1973]

As far as I know he hasn't.

well you said you wanted to digg up him and Lombardi..

[Pelt]

When did Ditka die?

1966.

 

He's the one with the bare feet on the Abbey Road album cover.

[Iancolts]

What about Chuckie as an OC?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

well you said you wanted to digg up him and Lombardi..

I said let's dig up Lombardi

[Gavin]

Gruden dont get enough credit for being the  HC of a SB winning team (Bucs) and the last HC to coach the Raiders to the playoffs, Part of that is I think many focus on the fact that he has a very demonstrative personality

[Gavin]

What about Chuckie as an OC?

Players would have to watch there backs, he likes to climb on things and stab people, I've witnessed it numerous times ;) 

[BOTT]

And people don't like it that he made Dungy look bad

[NewColtsFan]

 

Thanks for doing that for me!

 

It was the perfect response to that post......

[NewColtsFan]

Why do you even ask?

 

The man is a HC....   he'll stay in the broadcast booth for the rest of his life before he spends a single day as an offensive coordinator.     He's way, Way, WAY past that.

 

He's either going to be the HC of an NFL team...  or he might consider being the HC at a special college like Notre Dame (a life long favorite of his) or Texas...     but otherwise....   he'll never be an OC for anyone....

I don't know about where you live, but digging in a graveyard is FROWNED UPON in the state of Indiana.

Pretty sure Bill Callahan took the raiders to the playoffs after gruden

We could always use one of our troll posters aka goodtimes and solve 2 problems at once.

I guess you don't think the believe message that Pagano is preaching is important and neither is continuity with our young players? It seems to stand out to me that there is a lot of unselfish play on Chuck's team. Player are in/out up/ down in the depth chart but even those whom are demoted T-Rich DHB seem to keep on playing hard with a good attitude. The Colts may lead the league in fewest penalty yards and in fewest turnovers. Aren't all these things signs that the Colts are a well coached team? If we go out in the playoffs I think it will be due to a lack of talent in the o-line and the loss of Allen Reggie. If we had Allen Reggie I think we would be very tough. I don't think you replace a coach unless he doesn't have the locker room in control, doesn't have an adequate scheme, or the talent severely underperforms.

Yeah for some reason I drew a blank on who the Raiders coach was when they got whipped by Tampa Bay......Callahan

So you want Gruden? *

No. That'll never happen.

[GoColts8818]

We aren't firing Pep either and just for entertainment purposes let's say they did.  Gruden isn't leaving his MNF job for an OC job. 

[Bubba]

Would take him in a heartbeat

[Steamboat_Shaun]

 

Absolutely yes!  Pagano is a nice guy players' friend but won't get us to the SB...we could use a guy like Chuckie, instead of Coach Chuck, to get us up to the next level consistently.  He would also do wonders for Luck's development.

I am all in favor of replacing nice D co-ordinator Pagano with real Head Coach Gruden.

....the difference between a very good team for many years and a perennial contender/SB winner for many years with Gruden.

 

I'm gonna chalk this up as Canadian humor.

[Iancolts]

Well he says he wants to work with luck and so he can be OC lol

[GoColts8818]

Well he says he wants to work with luck and so he can be OC lol

Again we aren't firing Pep to start with.

[Robert Johnson]

Pagano isn't going anywhere,so this whole thread is kind of pointless

The first time we lost a game,you would be hateing on Gruden too

[bap1331]

LOL! We made the playoffs and already talking about coach replacement. Maybe as a d coordinator.

[GoColts8818]

I think we need to bring back Lindy Infante, Rod Dowhower, and Frank Kush just to make people realize what they have in Pagano. 

[GoColts8818]

LOL! We made the playoffs and already talking about coach replacement. Maybe as a d coordinator.

Gruden is an offensive coach for starters but Manusky and Pep aren't getting fired either and Gruden isn't leaving the MNF booth for anything less than a Head Coaching job. 

[Jason_]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I would puke if Gruden became the Colt's HC.  

 

Also, none of the Colt coaches will be fired after this season.
