Fisticuffs111 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Nice, glad we got an official word on an interview request. Was getting just a lil worried seeing all the other teams with HC vacancies lining up all these interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, stitches said:   We might wind up turning this thread into the hub for all linked candidates, as more reports come out.  By the way, some rules for the hiring process as it relates to current NFL assistants/coaches: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2666428-the-redemption-of-josh-mcdaniels-failure-taught-pats-oc-how-to-pick-his-spots Quote  The Colts, like every team, must follow the Rooney Rule, which makes it a requirement to interview at least one minority candidate in the proces.  The Colts can’t announce the hiring of a coach from another team until that coach’s season is finished.  Only coaches on staffs of eliminated teams can be interviewed immediately unless that team has a first round bye in the playoffs (e.g. McDaniels)  Coaches on teams that win the Wild Card game can be interviewed from the end of that game to end of the Divisional game on Jan. 14.  Coaches playing in the Super Bowl that have already had interviews can conduct a second interview no later than Jan. 28.   If we assume that the Colts will be interviewing Toub and/or Nagy from KC, those interviews can't happen until next week, which means we should buckle in for an extended hiring process. I'm fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltsfan77 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Really do not want anything the patriots have! Despise the franchise! Bad enough that this season was horrible but on top having to hear about Brady and pats every ball game with the Brissett connection. Just my take and how I feel!

Hired Mike Nolan as DC, brought in Mike McCoy as OC and Adam Gase as an offensive assistant, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be wrong, but would rather win with something not patriot related. There is no guarantee he would have success here anyway liike anyone else. Would prefer going a different direction. Again not saying that I am right but how I personally feel. Will be a diehard fan regardless, just not my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past it would've with polian, grigs, etc. Ballard strikes me as a guy who understands that winning trumps all else in this league or at least that's what I'm personally hoping for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitches Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018   I don't know if McDermott is reliable. He only has about 4K followers but is local journalist. Noone else has reported officially that we've asked for interviews with Matt Nagy and Dave Toub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a good coach too, Dude was winning 8-9 games a year with horrible QBs. Wouldve easily won 11 or maybe even 12 games this year if Watson stayed healthy.

Just do not want to hear about the pats every week and especially a colts game. I am a big Duke basketball fan and have two studs on the Celtics. Can't pull for them because I really do not want anything out of Boston to win because of pats fans, lol! Also am an Orioles fan, then there is the red sox, a different discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.NotSoCreative Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Nagy seems like a pretty ineresting offensive minded coach and has also been in a good system in KC under Reid. A first time HC and a 2nd year GM scares the crap out of me though. Just seems very reminiscent to 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derakynn Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Please don't make the mistake of hiring Wilks. I'm not saying he can't be good, but the situation could not be more Pagano-esque if we tried. 1 yr DC that inherited a good defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
