In November he was at that airport. As it turns out, that wasn't from today.

 

To be exact, that would have been right before Week 10. He worked the Bengals/Giants game on Monday night. So..could be New York. Could be anywhere else. Except Indy.

Was Irsay on the plane that landed in Houston? Did he meet with Gruden for ten hours? Is Gruden in Indianapolis? Will he be the Colts new Head Coach? Is Pagano be the new defensive coordinator? Find out on the next episode of Dragon BALL Z!

I thought Gruden also went to middle school in Bloomington, at whatever Tri-North was called back then.

 

Gruden's dad was a coach at IU and then Notre Dame. Gruden was pretty lucky as a kid..was around the IU basketball team in the 70s and then his dad goes to Notre Dame when Joe Montana was (I think) a senior.

Translation: Gruden is not going to be the Colts coach.

I just don't get the hype with Gruden. He won a SB with Dungy's team, then it all fell apart. He hasn't coached in a decade. Being an analyst is nowhere near involved as coaching, so I don't see where that helps him other than familiarity with players and coaches. Also keep in mind how much coaching has changed since he was last a HC and how different the players are.

 

After the dumpster fire that TB became after that SB season, what makes people feel that Gruden should have power over personnel decisions?

 

I think that people remember a good coach in Oakland involved in a blockbuster trade to TB, and winning a SB that season. Over the years, his name is brought up in HC vacancies every offseason and I think the longer he has stayed in the broadcast booth, the more hype his name gets. A majority of Colts fans are desperate for a change and the hype of Gruden makes him look like the HC messiah.

While he did take Dungy's TB team to the Super Bowl, don't forget the team he played in the Super Bowl was literally the team he was the head coach of the previous year.

I always hate hearing that comment with Dungy`s team! The fact is Gruden won and Dungy didn`t. Dungy barely won a SB with the Colts!

Some people on here are ignorant to this fact, can't comprehend it, or are in denial about it...The fact he accomplished that shows his greatness as a coach...Gruden would turn Luck into a machine...

I get your point, and yes, some of us are getting desperate for a change, but we also want one that has the probability to be more than an average HC. Otherwise we might at well stick with Pagano until a truly great  alternative transpire.

 

I would personally prefer Harbaugh, but there is no denying that Gruden has the possibility to get the best out of Luck and will fuel a change of mentality. I have no idea whether we would take a risk on defense with him.

 

The chance of Gruden coming here is another question. Could happen, but probably won't for various reasons.   

 

Edit: This was posted before the Gruden deal was shot down.
