Gus Bradley as DC?

[AZColt11]

I would but IF they decide to go in another direction with the GM/HC then you gotta hire in order:  GM then HC then let them pick their guys.  If they aren't then it doesn't matter because Monachino isn't going anywhere.

Would you take Gus Bradley as our defensive co-ordinator in the off-season, knowing what he did in Seattle, and his AFC South experience?

 

Gus was fired by Jacksonville last night.

I'd stick with Ted. But I'd consider Marvin Lewis if he became available before Bradley or Ryan.

Gimme Ted!   I think we'll be a significantly better defense next year with the addition of some young talent.  We have a number of pretty good pieces in the secondary already between Davis, Butler, Green, Geathers, Melvin.  Add some young talent to that mix and bulk up that front seven and the arrow is pointing upwards.  No need to start from scratch again.

Add four new LB, and it'll be good.

We ain't adding 4 and you know that. Probably 2-3 tops

I don't think Rex has much interest in being a coordinator anymore.  It's just my gut, but I realize he might not have much choice.  Just don't think we'll go in Rex direction.  I say stay with Ted.

Would you take Rex as a head coach?

I'd take him as a DC if we were looking, but I don't see the point in looking.   We are running his defense already.   Stick with the guy we already have in place.

[JColts72]

Why? I rather have Fischer then as HC

Rex is a blow hard cartoon character who is way overrated, Same goes for his brother.

That's a decent point, but he has not done enough overall to show me that he'd be an upgrade over Chuck to even consider making the move.

He's beat the Pats a few times, has Chuck?

The problem with Gus Bradley is that he coaches/teachers the 4-3 and we don't have 4-3 personnel.

 

So, the only way we're highering Bradley is if the GM & HC are fired at the end of the year and the new HC wants to run a 4-3 and they start clearing out old bodies for newer-different bodies.

 

Good coach.     Wrong fit.

They've played them tons of times.  Way more than the Colts and have maybe won twice.  No times with the Bills other than when Brady was suspended.  Proof isn't very good.

Really?  I'd disagree with that.  I think the majority of the defensive personnel would transition just fine to a 4-3.

Agreed. It's the same system in principle while Rex just runs a super-aggressive version of it.

I think it would be hard for Rex to be aggressive with this 2016 Colts personnel. As the personnel improves I think we'll see Ted turn it up a notch.

lol..I know man, I was reaching..but even so He isn't afraid of the pats...and truthfully I think he would do really well in the south. The majority of the time it seems like his teams finish second to the pats, with absolutely no quarterback play. I'd like to see what he could do with a quarterback in a division that isn't  dominated by the Pats.

I don't trust him from an offensive stand point as far as HC goes.  He seems to know nothing about offensive football.  His teams tend to be undisciplined at times.  As far as DC is concerned yeah I'd look at Rex if we didn't already have one of his disciples in place already. Ted seems to be about the details and being disciplined.  I'd like to see what Ted can do with some better personnel.  I can see your angle though.

All that being true, I still believe he would be the best HC in the south. 

[AZColt11]

Regarding Rex, at least he has some mental toughness and HC experience, which is more than can be said for some of the names coming up here.  IDK if he would be successful or not, but I think his chances would be higher with a QB such as Luck.
