He didn't come to mind at first, but I would agree, is Bostic still under contract, he might be another guy or Simon, although both were hurt. Maybe Woods a little bit? 

I think sometimes we mistake leaders for best players.  While best players are often leaders that’s not always the case.  To me the leader is the guy when the team is struggling who pulls the team together before a key fourth down and says I don’t care what’s been going on we are making this play and the guys believe it.  

 

I thought Reggie Wayne was the leader on offense after Peyton left and since Reggie has been gone they have never replaced that. Don’t get me wrong I think Luck is a leader but the QB spot is sorta unique in that they have to be a leader no matter what.  I think you need another guy on offense who buys into what the QB is saying and leads the guys in following if that makes sense.  I am not sure if the Colts have that right now.

Not sure  why Pat Schirmer isnt on the list yet?

They are trying to keep the search internal.  I don’t think we’ll hear all the names involved.

I can believe in Mcdaniels from an Xs and Os standpoint.  Especially with a strong QB like he'd get with Luck.   Not sure that I'd copy that exact same system they've used with Tom Brady because I believe they are two different QB.   Mcdaniels is not my choice but I do believe he's competent football wise.  It's the personal relationships I have pause about.

What’s his system even like though? Seems like B.B. is the mastermind there. People seem to think McDaniels=The Pats Offensive System. I don’t think that’s the case though. And I also don’t get all the “he learned from his time in Denver” talk. How? Based on what?

Agree thats why we missed Reggie off the field as well as on. I Think AC has to step up maybe Doyle?

I think Bilicheck/Brady make him look a lot better than what he really is. 

Anyway can be OC for Pats u saying as along as Bill/Tom run it? Perhaps

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

Personally, I like the idea of hiring McDaniels. The main thing though is will the new coach lead us to victories. Let's face it that's what it all comes down to.

Learned time in Denver, there is an article on here that was good. Scroll back you can find it. McDaniels is the OC. B.B is more of a defensive mind. McDaniels IMO is a guy who likes the short rhythmic passing game limiting QB hits and sprinkling in runs and taking periodic shots long, while controlling the clock. A system which makes it hard on defenses.

Only time will tell whether he learned or not.   That will also have to be sorted out in his interview(s).    I'm sure whatever system he would implement would definitely have some carry over from what they've been doing in NE for quite some time.   I just think it shouldn't be a carbon copy.   I'm not sure whether it's his sytem or Bills.

I hired Vrabel in madden one time. 

 

We went 16-0 and won the super bowl until the salary cap bug made it impossible to continue. 

 

Just sayin. 

Good enough for me - Madden is no different than any computer model.

I guess we’ll see because one way or another, I think he’s going to be a HC this year. I’m not saying he won’t suceed. I just think there are too many assumptions about him that aren’t backed up with any sensible evidence.

I think Bill may have taught or definitely ironed out that offensive system because they've been running virtually the same stuff ever since Charlie Weis in my opinion. Different varients of the same system.

Did he ever worked on the offensive side of the ball as a coach? If I recall it correctly, he didn't.

I think AC should be that guy.  He’s been here the longest but he doesn’t strike me as that kind of personality.  I thibk Gore was that guy but I don’t think he will be back.

Belichick hired Weis in 2000 when he took the job. Weis installed his offense and ran it until he left in 2005. McDaniels joined the staff in 2001. He eventually became the QB coach, and worked directly with Brady, under Weis. McDaniels took over offensive play calling in 2005, and was named the OC/QB coach in 2006, until he left in 2009.

 

No question Belichick knows the system, but the succession plan is why the offense has endured all these years through three different coordinators.

Always. O'Brien was a recent addition before he became the OC, but he came from Duke, where David Cutliffe runs the same offense.

Worked as a receivers coach for the Lions in the 70s. In his playing days, he was actually a center.

 

Found this too

I like his personality. He's definitely a leader.

[colt18]

I sincerely hope we get an offensive minded HC or Toub. Richards from Seattle looks like a good candidate but I'd rather have someone who can transform our offense.

Patriots scheduled for practices on Wednesday and Thursday of this playoff bye week. Expectation is coordinator interviews for head-coaching vacancies on Saturday (in New England region).

[krunk]

Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero

Josh McDaniels’ first head coaching interview will be Thursday with the #Colts, source said. Most coveted candidate in this cycle.

[King Colt]

Josh McDaniels- don't get excited unless he can bring Hoody with him.

[richard pallo]

McDaniels interviewing with us this Thursday.  I thought it would be this week before they started practicing next week.  Then I believe we would have to wait until they finished their season.  Will be interesting to see if he gets a few more in.

Castonzo brought that up on the radio today.  Players have held each other accountable, but it was Luck who got on guys in a more immediate way.

Look at who is on list. One with HC background

So you're saying that we should hire someone that has zero experience as our HC, because they haven't failed as a HC? That's insane... Either way it's a gamble and at the end of the day, you hire the guy you think would be the best HC for your team. Having HC experience, failing, learning from it, and trying again is actually one of the best scenarios you could ask for.

Just to nitpick, the rule requires interviewing a minority candidate. Doesn't have to be AA candidate. Ron Rivera was a Rooney Rule interviewee a few times.

 

Is McDaniels a minority guy ? Just kidding as we all know he's not. If he were , the Colts could just do the Thursday interview and announce it when NE's season was over. I give it like 80% McDaniels and a 20% chance its Richard or Nagy. 

[Alex22]

If I was Mr Ballard I would go either Frank Reich or Dave Toub. Both have good experience and seem to know how to build tough football players 

[NewEra]

His stint in Denver he was one of the youngest HC who first year went 8-8, second year 3-13. So I wouldn't call that a fail. Especially knowing who his qb's were in Denver
