At one point Bill Cowher was just a simple DC coming out of Kansas City. At one point Tony Dungy was just a simple DC coming out of Minnesota. At one point Jon Gruden was just a simple OC coming out of Philadelphia. All of those big names people are wanting weren't big names at one time. We might end up with a college coach, we might end up with a coach getting his 2nd chance as HC in the NFL. We might get one that gets his first shot at HC. Each scenario is littered with examples of success & failure. It's about finding the right guy at the right time. Hopefully we will.

Exactly!!!

You couldn't have said it better.

Or maybe I should say, I couldn't have said it better!

The best man for the job is out there and he could fall into any of those categories. Let's just hope we recognize him.

The Patriots have always had it over us because I will say IMHO they always had a better coach then us. I would like to come close to them.

2011 Pats win

2010 Pats win

2009 Colts win (and what a win it was!)

2008 Colts win

2007 Pats win

2006 Colts win 2

2005 Colts win

2004 Pats win 2

2003 Pats win 2

2002 did not play

Pats are 7-5 over the Colts over the past 10 years. Just sayin.

Let us have a little faith in the Colts front office. It was realized the Polians had done all they could here and were released. It was (finally) realized that Caldwell could not coach (and yes I realize he was a nice guy, but so is my uncle and he can't coach either) and was released of his duties. The front office is doing everything to get the Colts winning again and I believe in the front office that they will get a coach who will have the ability to lead us to wins. Go Colts!!

A lot of the big name coaches want too much authority. That's not how most good organizations run. We don't want that. Also, Let's find the next Mike Tomlin rather than go for a retread.

I think Tomlin is coming back to earth really quickly now... The Steelers are not the "STEELERS" any longer. THey are a passing team with an aging D. The next few seasons will define Tomlin. Cowher establiished and Identity in Pitt. and that identity is long gone.

He like Caldwell got handed the keys to a Cadillac (and Dick LeBeau). Lets see what he does from here on out. BTW, I do think Tomlin is a good coach. But how much is the DC and OC (who just retired)... ????

Just think... Had Manning played this season we would still have the Polians and Caldwell.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      @2006Coltsbestever @NFLfan   Kirk has been treated much better and with much more respect than Wentz was treated in Indy. And was showed with Love and truckloads of money in Minnesota, and was defended constantly with much more ferocity by Vikings fans than people defending Ballard in Grievances thread.    it'd be crazy to think of injustice against Kirk for a few minority who criticize his play.    We're Going back and forth on Kirk debate which will go on for eternity, but I struck Gold when I saw recently @Superman explaining how he felt watching Wentz playing with other teams before he got to Indy and how it felt watching him play for Colts when you're emotionally invested with the franchise.    There's no other way to perfectly describe Kirk Cousins' career and his QB play.   For every fan around the NFL, especially for fantasy football fans, Kirk will be a hero and am above average QB. But, when you're emotionally invested in your favourite franchise and Kirk plays QB for your team, you would come close to understanding how excruciatingly frustrating his play and smartness and game awareness, that all contributes to team missing playoffs many years and even when they qualify, no one sees Kirk as a threat in playoffs. Ever. Until he plays for your team, you won't realize that, and I totally understand.    Anyway, happy to pass on that frustration over to Falcons fans, they'd know soon. First of all, Kirk takes at least a season or two to trust his OL, even if you put an elite line and weapons around him, and it's all in his head. I'm going to sit back and read Falcons forums for Fun in 2024 Season! Good Times!

      I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.

      Update: Jim Irsay speaks publicly (merged)

      By CoachLite · Posted

      There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By CoachLite · Posted

      You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video.   It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.

      Trade for Marston Lattimore

      By Mr. Too Proud · Posted

      https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
