Peyton should be our next GM

[dudley dawson]

Who says no?

 

I think Peyton as GM/Gruden as HC would be amazing.  Certainly a huge upgrade from the current structure.

[NewColtsFan]

 

Since you asked,   I say no.

 

 

[csmopar]

No... mainly because of Gruden.........

[buccolts]

I say 'no'.

WAKE UP. Half the day's over, for crying out loud.

Pretty sure there was a thread on this last week...

'cause when I retire I want to get a stressful job where everyone is über critical of your every move...

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Won't happen. And I feel like he would choose Denver over the Colts now anyway..

[buccolts]

I think I'm overly fond of the serious responses to posts like these.

Kinda renews my faith in mankind.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I Say no. He could come to work in our organization after a bit and gain some neccesary experience. Maybe after he's done his due he could be GM somewhere?  

[Gavin]

QB Coach at first. But he has no interest in coaching at any level right now it appears. I'd like if he appeared week 5 vs Bears on Fox or at Texans on NBC or November 4th home game vs Steelers on Thursday night

[Myles]

In a heartbeat.   Having a GM who is as dedicated as Manning is would be great.    I don't think he would "wiff" on many draft picks because he would put in the time to study the players.  

[Coffeedrinker]

Sure and then let's sign

 

Usain Bolt as a HB - He'd take every one to the house.

LeBron James as the rush LB - With his moves and size he'd be a beast.

Kotoshogiku for RT No one could get by the 5'11" 390lb Sumo wrestler and he'd be a devetating run blocker.

 

Sorry to ruin your faith in humanity buccolts.

Boy, you're a quick learner.

[dudley dawson]

Some of you are acting as if the current GM we have is good.  Our team is a joke outside of maybe 5 players.  I would take a gamble with Peyton in a heartbeat over Grigson.

That is 2 "in a heartbeats".

 

 

[Bluefire4]

Yeah and lets get Bill Cowher as the D coordinator and Tony Dungy as a special assistant. Just because it is a big name doesn't automatically mean they will be better for the freaking franchise.

Usain Bolt wouldn't sign with the Colts. He wants to win, probably choose Patriots.

Same for LeBron.

No, most are just acting like the suggestion is ridiculous and funny.  Especially the part of Gruden as HC.

Gruden was rumored to be in the mix before Pagano got extended.  He would be a major upgrade.  Nobody can seriously argue Pagano is a better coach than him.

NO 

 

Hes happy to do what hes doing & IMO maybe in a few years he might come back to football & when he does it will be as part owner or OC ...

 

Until then .

Yeah, but consider the sources.

Us, and media types in desperate need of attention.

Heck, many of us wanted Fisher.

[buccolts]

Rumor has it Berman will have some time on his hands next year.

Move over Lamey.

 

 

 

 

Excuse me. Bad gag reflex.

I would without question welcome Peyton as the new GM in the Elway role. I have little doubt he'd be better than Grigson. 

 

As for the next HC, I'd rather go with a more reasonable option. Harbaugh at Michigan would be near the top of my list. Also I really like Houston head coach Tom Herman in college.

I'd prefer Harbaugh as well, but I think we'd have a better shot of prying Gruden away from ESPN than Harbaugh from Michigan.  I'd also be happy with Saban.

You're ridiculous if you don't think Grigson and every other GM and scouting staff in the league does not put 100% effort and dedication in finding the person they believe will best fit the team. Nobody is perfect and just because Manning was a successful quarterback on the team doesn't mean he would never have any bad draft picks. It's insulting to GMs everywhere that people think Manning could step right in, look at every position and pick the right players every time. That's insanity.

Saban would be exposed as a fraud in the NFL, IMO. He is a great recruiter, and works with guys who are significantly more talented the the rest of college football. When it's a lot more equal, Saban will be exposed as a fraud.

What it comes down to is this: Would Peyton be better than Grigson?  100% yes.

I think Harbaugh is more likely than both Saban and Gruden. Harbaugh loved coaching Luck. Plus he played for Indy.

I'd put Gruden and Pagano on the same level... Maybe even a slight edge to Pagano.

Next week will be - Should we trade Luck for a lot of Draft picks? If he looks bad against Denver .

Would we be calling for him to get fired after 2 bad seasons as GM like everyone else? 100% yes.

I'd put Pagano as a lifetime losing coach without Luck. I'd even say he's a lifetime losing coach if we had an average QB.

You realize Gruden won a Superbowl beating the team he built prior?  Pagano could never accomplish that.

Since when has Gruden been a great head coach? He took a Dungy team and won a super bowl and went right down hill after that to where he got fired and hasn't worked as a head coach since.

Lazy reasoning.  Gruden was the coach that year, not Dungy.  And he beat the team he built prior.  That is quite an accomplishment.
