Hopefully NOT the hiring of Brad Childress as hc beacause he has TIES to the new gm. I've been excited so far but hearing Chilly's name (TERRIBLE coach) or Tressel's is starting to put a damper on things. Been there with the whole "TIES" experiment with Dungy to Caldwell. As far as Tressel I hope they go in the direction of nfl experience whether it be former player (who understands TODAY'S game) or a RISING offensive coach off someone's staff like the Saints or Packers. If they WANT to go for a college coach I'd rather they go for Chip Kelly. He is at least CREATIVE on the offensive side of the ball. Tressel ran a BORING offense and had CONSERVITIVE play calling at Ohio St. He just had MORE talented players than the rest of the Big Ten and could win with that formula. At the end of the day it's STILL about who has the most POINTS on the board. Take Baltimore, with all the GREAT defenses their game against the Pats this weekend will hinge on their offense and Flacco because Brady WILL score pts. The 49ers were able to match Brees point for point despite having a strong D. If the Colts hire a STUD dc to COMPLIMENT the aggressive offensive minded hc (no RETREADS) then the "NEW" era will TRULY begin. :clap:

I wonder if they are waiting to talk to someone in the playoffs..It could be the reason for the delay...

It would be rude to bring out their news over the weekend during the playoffs... not to mention i dont think they have even interviewed mike zimmer yet so thats probably a delay. But i think its gonna be Jim Tressel for the simple fact that he's the first candidate to reach the 2nd interview phase.

Guess Tressel, 2 interviews, not to just have dinner there, unless offer to be ofeensive coach, If hired as HC, Irsay's call and a middle gesture to the rest of the fans, league and media who does not want him; that would be my impression. Peyton will probably ask to be released.

I'm trying to be objective and think he is being thorough but I'm kind of leaning toward the whole situation looking dysfunctional. The sudden debate about Luck versus Griffin, the coaches being interviewed, JI getting Twitter fever and appearing on TV, calling news conferences, etc. I really hope I'm wrong but I don't have a good feeling about the Colt's situation right now. It certainly has the forums lit up though...

I wouldn't mind Tressel. He wouldn't be my first choice but he is smart football guy and would probably be a good coach. On the other hand, I would hate it if they hired Childress.

I don't know anything about Tressel but what I've read here and heard elsewhere. Childress? Nooooooooooooooooooooo! I'd rather have Billick if I had a choice. And of course :) I'm not shy about tweeting my suggestions to the head guy.

I've always said the HC just has to have a vision, be a leader/facilitator, and be a good game manager. Leave the coordinating to the coordinators. We don't have to be a boring, run-the-ball college team. That's up to the OC. He definitely has the most leadership abillity of the group...plus there is his age. He has about a 5-10 year run left, so he better get cooking.

There hasn't been a delay they fired the coach on Tuesday and have been doing interviews ever since. If Irsay said we aren't going to name a HC till after the Super Bowl there would be a delay but really we might have a coach opening for a week and half that's not very long.

    • The best thing the staff did was cut Leonard. That set a clear tone that you either perform or you don't. We did have the luxury of still having two quality starting linebackers so that eased the pain of his loss.   I firmly believe had we not lost Flowers to the IR and Rodgers to Suspension that Baker would have absolutely been cut. As it is Baker is likely on the outside looking in with the additions of Abraham and Simpson, Moore being the stud he is and plus the healthy return of Flowers and the uptick in in-game ability of Brents and Jones.    Woods being on the IR all of last year hurt, but it allowed Mallory and Ogletree to grow. TE's have a hard transition from College to the Pro level and usually year 2-3 is when they start to really take off. We have talent there in that room and SS will creatively use it!   WR's...........Downs will continue to excel and grow in the slot and will become electric. MPJ is a Reggie Wayne technician type that will move the sticks and occasionally add in a big play - a much-needed type on the outside. AP ran the most go routes of any WR last year, but Minshew could not throw him open or hit him downfield when he was, that is not on AP as he was doing as was scripted by SS. He is our vertical threat that opens up the underneath routes for the TE's, Downs and MPJ. Add in AD now as the all-around WR that can take the top off, run with it after the catch and run a full route tree at full speed and they all complement each other very well! Add in a (hopefully) healthy AR5 and that can become a dynamic group of receivers!   Safety - an outside free agent isn't always the answer. And it's going to be a player on the downside of his career as a stop gap. Simmons is not coming to our rescue. He will likely go to a sure-fire contender. However, there are still a few 30+ guys that could be a good stopgap on a one-year deal. If I had my choice though, I'd go with a younger guy that may still have a few years of juice left in him like a Terrell Edmunds!    
    • I wonder if they will sign any of the rookie invites over what we currently have rostered?   Combing thru the list the following intrigue me: Justin Strong - RB - strong production and a high RAS = Ballard's type. Perhaps over Goodson or Scott Will Perez - LB - Similar/Equivelent Measurables of Ballards Build-A-Backer concept (6'3"/224/32.125" Arms/4.61 40 - 8.82 RAS from Princeton so probably really smart too) over an Anderson or Ajiake    
    • By calling him a crybaby, Doyel ruined Steichen interviews for eternity.  Listen to Steichen interviews from Philly.  He sounds like a perfectly normal dude.  Now, because of Doyel, Steichen is guarded, and will do the cheap Belichick impersonation as long as he is here.  
    • The Fever have Bigs and Shooters, but those were triple teamed last year. Covering Caitlin will leave them to get open. She’s perfect for the Fever.
    • Thanks bestest buddy!   And wow, nice gift! You know what they say… food is the way to a Mom’s heart!  I know it was delicious! Great Sunday all around!
