Since all the other reported canidits could be hired right now the longer this drags the more it’s clear they are waiting on Josh McDaniels.  

 

This. 

 

I thought for sure Toub would have been hired by now. If we get to Monday and they still don't have anyone in place or at least a second interview confirmed then it's pretty safe to assume that they want McDaniels and are just waiting for the hammer to fall.

Well for those interested in Pat shurman, he's the favorite for the cards job and apparently the giants and not the lions are favorites for Matt Patricia which is good news for those that want McDaniels seeing as the lions want a defensive coach

I've thought all along that McDaniels is our guy. I think the longer this drags on the more it points to McDaniels becoming our Head Coach. Like Tom Petty sang "The waiting is the hardest part..."

I want to hear that McDaniels wants the Colts.

I don't think we will hear a peep from McDaniels until the Patriots' season is over. Tight lipped is the Patriot way.

I understand all that Jedi stuff they practice.  I'm saying that most fans on this board assume that the Colts can get McDaniels or anyone that they want.  I'm not sold on that, and am concerned we'll end up with a secondary choice.

If my memory serves me correctly, McDaniels has turned down Head Coaching interviews in the past. Because of that, I don't think he would have taken the interview with the Colts if he wasn't strongly interested in the job.

He interviewed last year.

He did refused to interview for the Rams job when it became available mid season.

McDaniels has been known to turn down interview offers multiple times in the past to various teams.  The fact that he took an interview offer for the Colts means he's at least open to entertaining the option. Same with any other candidate, if they didn't want to work for the Colts, they wouldn't have taken the interview.  Honestly, I think it'll come down to one of the 3.  McDaniels, Patricia and Wilks.  One of these 3 is the most likely to be our next head coach.

And he removed himself from the 49ers consideration BEFORE they completed their interviews.  Relax.  I'm not saying it's gonna be McDaniels or not, but we're far from out of it.

Those are my preferred three candidates. I think our guys play tough but lack pure X's and O's instruction. Hopefully we hire one of the three and not some unknown from left field. We have not requested an interview for Patricia I had thought. Did I miss an update at some point?

yea, that would be ideal....not sure that it would be "The Patriot's Way"  , but BB will probably be a father-like figure and make the appropriate recommendations for McDaniels to take the Colts job unless he thinks Irsay is a kook.  So after the Patriots are eliminated (if they are), BB should be like a wise leader and direct his subordinates to lands of rich and lush possessions & fertile soil to harvest fall crops.

This is an interesting tidbit that I was not aware of.

 

Full quote from Holder’s article today:

 

“As it relates to McDaniels and the Colts, here’s a fun fact: He and Ballard have the same representative, super agent Bob LaMonte. That’s not necessarily a reason to connect dots, but it’s not something to ignore, either.

 

As a league source explained, LaMonte has a history of trying to engineer situations where clients can work in coach-GM tandems. There have been several such arrangements in the past – whether intentional or not. They include Doug Pederson and Howie Roseman in Philadelphia in 2016, Mike McCoy and Tom Telesco in San Diego in 2013 and Pat Shumur and Mike Holmgren in Cleveland in 2011. That’s a lot of coincidences, right?”

?????

 

Why do you have Patricia on your list?   Did I miss something that says we've interviewed him?    A new development?

 

Did you mean Vrabel?

 

Just asking....

Honestly, if "who is your agent" can play a significant role in hiring a head coach, then NFL is not better than the grocery down the street.

 

Having the same agent is significant because it serves as a back channel to communicate & complete a deal without the worry it being leaked by one side or the other. 9 times out of 10, people leaking info in these scenarios is the agent.

It should not affect the decision making process. Yes, it helps AFTER the decision has been made to complete the deal. But should not play any role BEFORE.

    • that’s simplifying something that is far from being simple…    if no one is putting pressure up front, professional receivers are going to get open regardless of the coverage… and the top qb’s are going to pick it apart. 
    • we risk losing Paye and company in the next year or two… Right? 
    • Thats easy. Having great coverage. If noone is open the rush will get there.    Or, I wish we blitzed more like Spaignola does as QB's are considerably less accurate under duress.    The best offenses have QB's that get rid of the ball quickly which negates to a degree the pass rush.  Scholars here are buzzing madly about pressures. Joey Bosa had a crazy number of pressures but how many resulted in incompletions? He had 2 more sacks than Kwity and played roughly 175 more snaps.  Detroit's Hutchinson, in their playoff loss, had no pressures, no sacks, and 1 tackle as I recall. And a heckuva player. Truth is you better have really good ability at both, including highly intelligent fast players in the back seven.
    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
