He's been an OC in the NFL (most notably with the Raiders -- lead Gannon and Co. to SB). At Montreal he's led the Als to 3 Grey Cups in 4 seasons, winning 2.

I've heard a lot of good things about him. Maybe he could sneak that 12th guy out there on offense?

I am going to be honest here, I really wouldn't mind if he is our head coach. I mean when he was the offensive coordinator for the Raiders in '02, Rich Gannon won the MVP and Raiders had the most offensive yards. (PLUS they made the superbowl, but lost) Impressed.

We still have an OC, don't we? I mean, not that it couldn't change any second.

Yes, I didn't mean sounds like a Colts OC just a better candidate for OC than HC.

But I will say, I personally, would prefer a candidate like this that has experience being a HC rather than bringing up a coordinator that has never been a HC before.

It seems odd though that he goes from this high powered San Francisco OC to be the QB coach in Detroit. Was that when seifert got fired? Then from the NC State QB coach or OC to a year out of football to the HC in the CFL. Am I missing something?

With all this change I wonder if Irsay will go from quoting classic rock lines to doing the same with classic Country music. "I stepped in a pile of you, and got love all over me".

They're comparing lovers with dog crap now? Pretty smooth.

I haven't heard to much about him, until I saw it on ESPN's bottom line the only person I heard mention him was John Clayton. I know the Allouettes (sp) are one of the top teams in the CFL, so I imagine he's a decent HC.

Again I don't know much about other that a quick Google search to find out he has a good bit of NFL experience, and runs a west coast offense, which seems to be the "in" offense in the NFL.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, doesn't excite me either because I know next to nothing about him.

I don't know a lot about Trestman. I know that he has a law degree so he's obviously an intelligent guy, but Im always kind of leary of a guy that has been coaching in an inferior league. That don't necessarily mean he can't be a good HC in the NFL though. I think it will either be this guy or Chuck Pagano if I had to venture a guess. If Trestman is the guy though, I don't see how Christianson keeps his job.

I remember Trestman as the Cardinals OC and he drove me crazy calling those slant plays. Drove me crazy. I don't regard him very highly.

Slants have worked pretty well against us over the last few years,lol. I do like the fact that he seems to be seasoned and a winner. I like it!

I agree to some degree. I also rhyme occasionally. Anyway, much like looking at FCS and DII-III players, I think you look for guys who dominated their level of competition. To me, Trestman has done that. Aside from a great coach without a job, I think there is fine reason to be skeptical of any new coach. In this instace, I must admit that I'm personally less worried about Trestman than some others.

Wow, this guy is impressive to say the least. I remember every one of those seasons. I just didn't know he was behind the offense. Steve Young, Super Bowl. Cardinals finally make it to the playoffs w/ Plummer, Raiders to the Super Bowl w/ long time backup Gannon, etc....this guy is really good.

Those testimonials were awesome!

You should check his blog as well. He hasn't seemed to maintain it too well, but he speaks of what to look for at practice, talks about evaluating Schaub coming out, and list what he looks for in young QBs. Interesting site.

Trestman spends most of his time during the offseason working with young quarterbacks, developing them. IF and WHEN Luck is the pick he would be the best bet as our Head Coach. His specialty is working with QB's! He's won two championships in 4 years!

I'm a huge Perry Fewell fan, but Trestman is a very smart choice!

Add me to the Trestman band wagon as well. He seems to make so much sense. He specializes in developing young QB's ( sorry Doogan and company but I think that will be an issue) He was an outstanding coordinator in the NFL and has shown to be very good in the HC role as well.

The argument that he has had success in the CFL but not the NFL doesn't hold as much water when you look at what he did in places like Oakland.

As a former employee of the University of Delaware I always followed Rich Gannon's career and what he did for Gannon was amazing.

Who knows, he could tottaly lose it in the interviews or someone else could blow Grigson away, but I would feel much more comfortable with a Trestman/Girgson team than a rookie GM, Grigson/rookie HC, _______ team.

Opinion only......

Marc Trestman - HC

Jim Popp - Vice Chairman (little help for young Grigson)

Clyde Christensen - OC (offensive stability)

Chuck Pagano - DC (it's lateral in title, but doesn't mean lateral financially)

Brad Seely - ST (same as above regarding the lateral move)

That would be nice, but there is about a ZERO percent chance of that happening.

      Colts Draft Day Colts Updates/Rumors/Discussion

      By Superman · Posted

      I had Goncalves in my mock, in the 4th round. Basically in range. I like the pick, I assume his foot is fine, he said as much, and he worked out at his pro day. Big dude, nice feet, good technique in pass pro, can get stronger to improve in the run game, technically sound for the most part.    I wanted two things on offense this offseason: 1) A dynamic pass catcher, and 2) Depth/competition on the OL, specifically a swing tackle/guard. I was hoping for a veteran OL in addition to a draft pick, but we re-signed Pinter, so I guess we can count that. And as a bonus, Drew Ogletree is back on the roster, after I thought he was for sure going to be gone.   IMO, the offense is ready to roll. I was worried that Plan A at WR -- get a guy in the second round -- was shot after the way Thursday night went. Plan A wound up working out nicely.   The secondary could still use some work. I would have liked to see an athletic boost with a boundary corner, but this wasn't really the draft for that. And while I'm not sure what will happen after the draft, there are a ton of veteran corners and safeties still available. Including Justin Simmons and Quandre Diggs, whom everyone wanted on Day 1 on free agency. So maybe we still add some veteran help.   We also have one 4th round pick, and then three 5th rounders all bunched up from #142 to #155. Ballard already traded out of the 6th, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him either trade out of the 7th, or trade down in a swap that also moves him up higher from one of the 4th/5th round picks. He might want to keep a pick in the 7th just to grab their favorite UDFA target...

      I am guessing it was athletic comparison.

      I love what Ballard had done. However, it's not going to be that easy . This guy has all the talent to be legit. He has been to two teams and the same theme keeps reoccurring. He was most likely supported by nutritionists in his last two stops in college. For some reason, he failed to do, what seemed to be  a simple task, to take care of his health. He appeared to continue to bomb the interview process. All world talent inside a very immature body. Here is hoping that he can become what the Colts drafted him to be.

      Really? I haven't seen those comparisons, and if that is happening, I do not agree with them at all. Especially Campbell, who was a clear slot guy right from the start, whereas Mitchell is a a clear X with the potential to be a number 1 receiver as an X.
