Gruden/Shanahan interested in colts HC job [Merge]

[gnet550]

Bleacher report is saying Gruden and Mike Shannahan are interested if Pagano is axed...they are interested because of Luck....

 

 

not not worth much more than the words at this point I'd say

[RockThatBlue]

Got the alert via BR

[buck_hunter21]

Luke will have a lot of guys interested I am sure.

 

 

And for what its worth....Pagano can't be "axed". His contract is up....he just walks, not "axed."

[ReMeDy]

o-m-g, Gruden, come to us! Save us! Free bananas on us!

[Solon]

I don't want Shanahan.

[Dustin]

Jason Cole is less than worthless.

[Jules]

Jesus Christ.........

[scousecolt]

I don't think we'll be short of interested candidates with Luck at QB. Every man and his dog will want the job.

Hey, this topic is about Gruden, not clipboard Jesus.

Gave this a bit of thought.  What term would be used to describe "less than worthless?"  LOL

[achcolts]

jon gruden????!!

 

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

[MTC]

Jason Cole reported it. False.

[DougDew]

Oh, BTW, many weeks ago Gruden commented on SNF about how the Colts roster "has very good players".  Sounds like he could work for Grigson...

[Jules]

Oh goody bleacher report says it.

 

And apparently every coach from ages 10 to 90 is interested in the Colts now.

Worthlessless 

[antipatriot]

I agree with Jules bleacher report... but I would take either of those guys both proven HC material with SB wins worth a shot for sure I hope it is true and I am sure neither would accept Grigs which would make me happy

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

[BigQandTheManiac]

Which Gruden? Jon?? And is this true??

[HungarianColtsFan]

Please not Shanahan...

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

[Jules]

I heard Vince Lombardi wants to come back from the dead to coach us but only if we fire Grigson.

FWIW I'm interested in the position as well ;)

[Jules]

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.

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

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.

[tvturner]

Bring in Gruden, we can run Spider 2 Y Banana about 59 times a game!

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. 

[icf]

I'd take Gruden -- the Colts could do a lot worse.

 

Of course, I'd fire Grigson too....

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.

Gruen explains whats wrong with the colts in 2 min.

 

Could he work with andrew luck... oh yes he could.

 

Could he work with Grigson... I dont think so.

 

why....??? Watch this clip and listen to his critique. 

 

Go Colts

[Restored]

Something tells me Gruden's and Grigson's personality wouldn't mesh and we'd end up watching a WWE match in the lock room by week 3.

[John Waylon]

I'd be ok with Gruden.

I'll cheer the jags before I'd be ok with crazy Mike.
