Negotiations can be tricky. Also, we still have a coach. Lots of things to be tended to.

I agree. I'm not saying Irsay is to blame for him not coming here. But obviously he is really interested. And he isn't our coach. I'm just curious as to why. But I suppose we will never really know

Big name hire, lots of potential snags and things to work out.  Not unreasonable to think this may take a bit of time, if it even happens at all.

But that's not to say he wont be our coach soon. I'd expect multiple meetings before anything concrete. Also, Chuckie probably has to get permission from his old lady. Big commitment.

From what I was reading today, Pagano's been out of town all week on vacation, and returned to Indy today. I would think that Jim would wait to have his face-to-face with Pagano, then announce the coaching change after. In that line of thinking, tomorrow or the next day would be likely. But that's all speculation on my part.

Also, gotta satisfy the Rooney rule.

He makes millions and he has to get permission?

He would make millions as a coach or working for ESPN. If you don't think he has to get permission from his wife then you're crazy.

 

I'm sure he does, but if I were Gruden, I  wouldn't take the meeting without being on the same page as my wife. So take that for what it is worth.

Which is dumb...

 

I think the max penalty for a Rooney rule violation is a $500k fine. If Irsay is getting ready to pay Gruden $9m+/year, that's just a tax...

 

That's true. I actually never knew what the punishment was.

Exactly. I'm sure gruden and his wife had a conversation before gruden and irsay did.

Kinda feel like having Dungy and Caldwell back-to-back should give Irsay some equity and leeway with regards to the Rooney rule, but I'm sure the NFL doesn't feel the same way. And I agree with him approaching it as a tax.

I was offered a job in San Jose a few years ago, thank the maker I asked my wife before I gave an answer. I still live in Va in case anyone is wondering how that conversation went, I don't like to leave any mysteries.

The Rooney rule is terrible...but thats a whole 'nother issue.

I like the idea in principle but, if I have no chance of getting the job don't waste my time. That happened to me once, they had interviewed a woman, and an Asian woman, and they needed to interview a male apparently. Guess who didn't get the job and was told that they had to interview a man per policy? This guy.

Just had a discussion with someone else about that yesterday... The Rooney rule has its merits on several levels, but in a situation where you want your guy, it just gets in the way.

If my wife made 6m per she wouldnt have to ask my permission about her career.  Just let me know if/when to pack my bags.

It just seems to do the opposite of what the rule is intended to do. Even if you already know who you want, you still have to interview someone for the Rooney rule, and it would be a complete waste of time as the person is not getting the job anyway. JMO.

Plus it's just wrong and unfair to get someone's hopes up so you can check a box.

The best answer I have heard for this is,  it gives potential future minority head coaches experience in the interview process.    I'm not a minority,  But I don't think I would like going through a dog and pony show when I know im not gonna get the job.

500k tax and about 3 million in bad publicity.  Much better to comply.

Meh, Vance Joseph may have been a token interview last year for the Broncos job, but he made the most of it.

 

Possibly, or maybe Joseph wasn't a "token" interview.  Just playing devils advocate. I will fully admit though I assumed the same thing. :)

    • I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I think, regardless of what the fans might think, their lack of FAs and re-signing all our own means the Colts believe this team is truly capable of making waves in 2024, being only 1 play away from a playoff birth/division title.    I think they believe that they are a couple pieces away but clearly need a top skill position wideout to pair with Pittman and Downs. Every pick after that is fillers, depth, and/or less important needs in their minds.    You could wind up being correct but I'm sticking with my trade up scenario where the only way I'm wrong is that we find out later, the Colts could not find a trade partner or that the trade partners really wanted to much in compensation.   I'm sticking with Colts trade to with Chargers and take Nabers at pick 5.        
    • Latest update not encouraging? Where's that at? Wasn't in that article.     Everything I have seen, has shown some athleticism has already started to come back.     I posted a couple rehab videos somewhere a month ago or so.   He is already dunking and looked very quick on take off and on his straight line running.   Can't remember if there was a change of direction in the the video but I think there was that as well.     Saying that, I think we still bring in a CB, but everything I have seen has been encouraging in regards to rehab.
    • Steelers picking at No.20 probably want him to get past Bengals and Jaguars so that they can draft Adonai Mitchell, so could be an article blessed by the organization too  
    • I think we stay at 15, hope Bowers is there but dont think he will be. With latest update not encouraging that Flowers will be ready seems like Corner more likely to be taken over WR.  First round corner paired with Brents with Jones first corner off the bench should yield better results then last season.   ttps://www.aol.com/cb-dallis-flowers-rehabbing-achilles-084056300.htm    
    • I think the draft falls this way:   1) Bears: Caleb 2) Commanders: Daniels 3) Vikings (trade with Pats) Maye 4) Cardinals: MHJ 5) Colts (trade with Chargers) Nabers   Reason for my top 5 is that I think the Patriots really like McCarthy, coupled with the Brady/McCarthy Michigan thing plus the Pats need more player help, it makes sense for the Pats to trade back to 11 but still be in front of the Raiders and Broncos to get their QB   Colts trade up reason: I think the Chargers need O-line help as well as other players like WR, however I believe the Chargers can still get a top LT at 15 and WR late in round one or if they trade back into round one which I believe they will attempt to do in this scenario. Plus, the Harbough Indy connection makes this trade likely.   Even if the Commanders take Maye at 2, I still think the Vikings trade up and then grab Daniels. Pats take McCarthy.   I think this is the year the Colts finally will mortgage a little bit of the future for the wideout. I'm going to stick with this. I hope my gut is correct here, we'll see.
