Well like @Superman was saying before, it could be a very similar scenario to the 49ers hiring Shanahan last year. He essentially low-key assembled a staff on the side during the Falcons Super Bowl run. In both instances, said coaching candidate had a bye week during the wild card round, and a bye week prior to the Super Bowl. That's 2 weeks just to send a few texts or make phone calls to guys that he felt comfortable with. By the time the Super Bowl ended, Shanahan had his staff and was ready to roll.

Y'know, when you believe that much of the Pats' success is due to cheating (as I do), you don't want possibly one of the premier cheaters in the league to come to your team. Not many things would make me abandon my fanship, but if the team starts trying to cheat its way to the top, I'm out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, because he has been involved in 2 seperate videotaping scandals, he failed miserably in Denver, reports out of Denver and Ne whether they are true or not state the guy is an *, not likeable at all has a lot of "locker room issues" so to say, and its just my personal opinion that he will not succeed without BB and Brady.

I forgot the Colts were the browns without Andrew though, not like the colts are one of the winningest franchises of the past decade. we arent 0-16 bad, but we were 4-12 without him. the oline sucks, the running game sucks, the defense was what like 30th. that was with a schedule where we avoided the top seeds in the league its an exaggeration to call it the worst job in sports, but i can see why a coach would be skeptical if luck is not guaranteed to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 27 minutes ago, JColts72 said: Or luck unknown condition? I was being sarcastic. But the Colts don't have a bad situation at QB. If Luck isn't back on track in the next month or two, we can add a new QB if we want, either via draft or free agency. And this is actually a solid year to need a QB, while the market is kind of good, we have the third pick, and $90m in cap space. Bottom line, if Luck isn't right, it's Ballard's job to find a new QB, not the new coach's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he's the best thing about this team, because he's the one that will lead the forward advance, shape the roster, oversee the coaching staff and make good things happen. The second best thing is that we have $90m in cap space and the third pick in the draft. That's true even if Luck never plays another down.

I have full confidence in Chris Ballard and his ability to really impact the team this year.. both in the coaching staff and the roster. He has the resources, he just needs to make the right decisions... and he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the AFC South is stronger than it's been for a very long time. No cake walk winning the division anymore. Jacksonville and Tennessee both still in playoffs, and Texans are no pushovers anymore. Especially with Watt back. Things aren't gold or manure. The path to succes isn't impossible, but it's not a given either. Don't worry, we'll still be able to find a qualified HC - We're still a NFL team, and that's always an attractive job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterk2011 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 4 hours ago, Smoke317 said: Plus Ballard couldn't just go to Irsay with Toub as the lone candidate. He probably could with McDaniels because he's more of a known and in demand commodity. It's either McDaniels or he's gonna stick to his mantra of "competition" and McDaniels will have to beat Toub out for the job in the final stages. If it's announced that it's still a competition between McDaniels and Toub, McD could easily just take the Giants or Lions jobs and leave us stuck with only Toub. If you are right - i dont think so, but if you are - then Ballard will immediately drop two entire grades in my eyes. Two reasons: 1. A GM should never have a lonely candidate. He should always be open minded, never pre-determined. 2. If Ballard needs a decoy to sell Toub to Irsay, he is not a good GM. If Toub is his guy he should say it straight and be able to defend his case face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to hear more on this. He was the DB coach at the time, but I wouldn't necessarily call him the architect of it. He may have had no more of a hand in it than coaching up the players given to him, while the DC (Quinn and Bradley) would been the one creating the scheme that helped make them successful. 5 hours ago, BleedBlue4Shoe86 said: First time poster.
