ive been feeling like hes been dying to be Luck's HC since he came into the league. if so, i would 100% love this. the locker room would love him too

 

I just hope New England fans don't make Chucky jokes if we lose.

Wasn't Gruden notoriously hard to work with/get along with? Or am I just misremembering?

IMO Gruden slowly ruined the great team Dungy built in Tampa Bay.

 

I think we could get even worse if any of these potential coaching names hold any substance in rumors. We could be 6-10 next year instead of the 12-4 we dream of.

I think he always was looking for a QB.  He loves Luck, and has said that he thinks the Colts roster has very good players.  Because of that, I assumed several weeks ago that he would like to become the Colts HC.

Honestly there is a small group of posters here who could probably even get the job done.

 

 

I think there are a few posters here who could run the front office/scouting. Coaching the team I think would be a different animal, but I would much rather have Dustin and Superman collaborate on free agency and the draft than have Grigson.

Throw chad into that group too and we can let them run the offseason.

Yeah Gruden loves Luck but who doesn't? We need smart people to help fix and build this team AROUND Luck not just fetish over Luck.

 

And Gruden can hype up any player and throw him into the HOF.

I don't know enough about him during his stint in Tampa Bay, but I know in his first year, Tampa Bay won the Superbowl. In the Superbowl, he even defeated his former team, the Oakland Raiders. He was the youngest coach to ever win a Superbowl, I believe.

 

Maybe he was just riding onto Tampa Bay's early success, but I feel now that he's older, wiser, and maybe more level-headed, I want to see what he can do. He still needs to bring the occasional fire, but not over-do it.

Yeah, he's always speaking highly of everyone so its hard to tell what he really likes.

    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.  
    • I’m in, can’t believe how fast this year is going.
