I'm surprised Dave Toub isn't our HC yet.

 

As of right now there is no acknowledgement that we have even asked for permission to talk to him.    We are all expecting it to happen...    but we're still waiting....

 

Curious....

I do believe that adding Assistant Head Coach as part of a Coordinators title is, in fact, a promotion in the NFL's eyes.

Nope. This was discussed heavily last weekend. The NFL rule book deems all coaches that do not have the title of head coach as assistants all on the same tier. A team can have as many assistants as it wants, or as few as it wants. But they are all assistants.

Ok, but not sure why one would be "all in" on a guy who sounds like Ted monachino 2 rather than a proven D.C.

I suppose the line of thinking on that would be similar to the HC conundrum, that any truly attractive/can't fail candidate would most likely be employed with a competitive team, & then even more so with proven DCs who are also being considered for potential HC vacancies.

 

So therefore, under that line of thinking, I guess you start looking at the successful/up & coming position coaches to make the jump...

 

Who knows, I'm not big on all the ins & outs of the rules about when & how the coaching interview or promotion process goes, but Holcomb may not even get a chance to be courted by other teams as he may be elevated to DC with Carolina, assuming Wilks gets a HC position...

Wilks isn't really a proven DC (only having the job for one season)...and he is being interviewed for HC positions. Richard has had the job longer, but still an bit of an unknown. They both had to become DCs at some point.

 

I think Holcomb has a better track record than Monachino. But most importantly, he has worked with (and had success with the) the type of LBs that I want to use.

Yeah...if Wilks gets a HC gig...I would assume Holcomb is next in line to be DC in CAR. OR he will go with Wilks to be his DC (like was speculated last season when McDermott got the BUF job).

 

So a lot would have to NOT happen for Holcomb to be available. He's just the guy that I want.

I agree.  I’d look for the QB coach to come over as the OC and someone like Brian Flores the LB coach for DC.

So you are basically wanting 3 inexperienced and unproven coaches at the top of the chain for the Colts?  I think there has to be some experience added in there somewhere

And the world yawned

I looked up Del Rio's Wikipedia page & ran across this slightly humorous tidbit of info:

"Keep chopping wood"

The mantra "Keep chopping wood", introduced by Del Rio during the 2003 season, was intended to indicate how the team would slowly whittle away the huge obstacles in front of them. Del Rio placed a wooden stump and axe in the Jaguars' locker room as a symbol of his rallying cry.

 

That's at least worth an ironic chuckle.

Poor Pagano can't even take credit for 

Coining his own catchphrases...

No saying that’s who I want although I’d give Flores a look if he’s getting HC interviews.  The fact of the matter is there aren’t a ton of “proven” guys available.  Especially if our choice is McDaniels and we have to wait until after the super bowl to make the hire.

Colts would have to wait to officially hire him, but I'm sure he could start putting his stafff together before then.

That and recently fired HC's. They're often very good coordinators, but not good HC's and are usually the safer bets. With a younger HC (if it is McDaniels), I'd prefer him to have at least an experienced DC (like LA did with bringing in Wade Phillips as DC for the young rookie HC McDermott).

* young rookie HC McVay

 

However, McDermott also hired an experienced OC, to the side of the ball that is not his expertise, in Rick Dennison.

Based on the success of McVay, I wonder if Nagy goes into Chicago and does a great job, with the NFL being a copycat league, do we see no NFL head coaches over the age of 45 after next year! (.....aside from Belichik!).

That's what I get for posting at 2 am... Definitely meant McVay.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
