WoolMagnet Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 He'd have our defence wearing open-toed cleats. everytime i see him i picture those videos of his wife in her underwear and wearing a "wife-beater" tank top sticking her sweaty , smelly feet in his face.

GwinnettColt Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's a great defensive mind. I like what he did in Baltimore. I wouldn't mind him being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IinD Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He'd get a below average unit to be decent I'd bet. HC is where he's a failure, a lot more to worry about, but if he's strictly a DC I'd bet he'd be fine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peytonator Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Absolutely. His defenses pretty much always stifle the league's better QBs. Him as DC and McDaniels as HC could actually be the Pats kryptonite. Not that I think he'd want to do it, but as a pure DC I'd love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesjan3 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 everybody seems to dislike him for his personality and the way he acts, the fact of the matter is there is not too many people with a better defensive mind then Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmort Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I would be down with Rex at DC... I think the bonus would be that even when he did great with our defense his past less than stellar stints as HC would mean he likely wouldn't be poached like a young up and comer.

NewColtsFan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's a good DC, but with Rex It's all about me, me, me and not enough about we, we, we... I see him as a square peg in a round whole. A bad fit for Indy. I'd pass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterk2011 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Oh, no, thank you. I'd rather have Monachino back.... (Actually, I'm kinda serious about Monachino.

Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Long time lurker, first time poster, very thankful for this forum as it allows me to get my colts fix year round, so thanks to each of you for your posts. On the topic of Rex Ryan, it would be hard for me to embrace him as part of the colts coach staff as I still have not forgotten the 2010 divisional round when his Jets kicked the go ahead field goal with :03 on the clock. Not sure I could stomach seeing his smug face 20 sundays a year...just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21isSuperman Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 That's a tough one. There's no doubt he's a great defensive mind and would make the defense better, but then you have to deal with all the possible distractions that come with it. I'm not so sure Ballard would want that for the Colts, and I feel like the type of person he wants at HC also wouldn't want that for his team.

Solon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Sure. He's a talented defensive mind. He can put together a competent defensive gameplan every week. I doubt he'd be a sideshow too. Most former head coaches who go back to being a coordinator stay out of sight. (well, unless you're Lane Kiffin.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a positive it doesn’t sound like McDaniels is a players coach and Ryan certainly is. May be a way to have the best of both for the team.

will426 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He talks way too much... id give him a extra bonus if he keeps quiet besides that he’s kinda good but he doesn’t coach like Wade Phillips who schemes around his players he forces players to play in his scheme see His stint in buffalo to understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedBlu8792 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'd love to have him in that role. And the people b***g about Rex being Rex, who cares, his defenses ALWAYS ball out and that's the only thing that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke317 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Talks way too much & doesn’t hold his players accountable enough. Rex is way too reckless and is the complete opposite of what Ballard said he’d want. But the guy sure can coach defense... If you could get him without the antics, watch out... Instead of McVey/Phillips we’d have McDaniels/Ryan... Add a healthy Luck and a strong draft class & free agents & we’d be contenders next year. Problem is he learned from his father and like him he’d divide the team... We need unity not a civil war... Maybe he would behave for a year or 2 in the hopes of getting another HC opportunity??? I can definitely see us competing for a ring within 2 years though if the aforementioned things occur. With both McDaniels & Patricia leaving, Brady’s age, & him forcing out Garoppolo, throw in Big Ben whispering retirement... The guard can quickly be changing in the AFC. I’d like our chances of being that next dynastic franchise. Along with Raiders, Chiefs, Texans (if Watson continues his rise), & shockingly the Jags (Defense is young & legit). Steelers would only be a QB away... If Ben walks, a guy like Cousins could keep them right there as contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that same defense got worse this year and was in the bottom 1/4 statistically. 2 down years out of how many, wouldn't deter me from what the guy has done with defenses over his career.

Colts Offenses have generally since 18's days done pretty good only to be let down by the defense . 12 has had a poor line & RB situation that has led to disaster as he tried to do to much . We need whomever can help fix this team as a DC , Even Ryan I would hope that the Colts talk to any & all that can change a decades long problem . As a HC no way ..
