I don't hate Irsay at all.

Just feel he is the reason for the franchises many errors and mistakes of late.

I believe he is the single biggest reason the team has no respect across the country.

When in a debate it really helps to use facts and not rely on opinions and conspiracy theories. Use facts if you want to be taken more seriously. 

 

I have had many facts right. Mularkey was fired.

It would be nice, but there is a built in problem.   If a college HC is good, he can make as much money at a large college as he could in the NFL.  

 

yea, but then the big fish small pond metaphor comes into play

If we lose out on McDaniels you can blame Ballard on this one.  If he was the No.1 choice there was no reason not to make it happen.  They satisfied the Rooney rule early and were still waiting on Wilks.  The fans that wanted him can only hope they already have an agreement and he honors it.  If we lose out on McDaniels I hope Ballard expands the search and at least talks to Shaw and Peterson and a few others.   I read where Irsay's daughter wants a younger coach so that would probably eliminate Toub among others.  I thought this could happen and it did.  A young GM learning on the job?  Let's hope he has a deal in place.  If he doesn't I can see him going to the Titans.  A nightmare comes true?

 

I would suggest reading the rules and getting a better understanding as to why the Colts CANNOT offer/agree anything to McDaniels until the Patriots season is over.

Everything else you’ve posted is nonsensical insanely opinions though. I get it’s a forum, but you have to throw in facts in an argument every once in awhile.

Late in the game?  He can't be hired for three weeks.

 

I highly doubt they would have fired Mularkey, if there were no chance

I never met the man, and if I did, I believe I would probably like him a lot.

However, I have been a fan of the Colts for almost 50 years.

Not fond of many of the things Jim Irsay has done with the team.

I really don't understand why everyone is so nervous. There is nothing that McDaniels, the Colts, or the Titans can do until after this coming Sunday's game. He can't interview again, he can't sign a deal, there is nothing than can be done. If we see a week from now that he is going to interview in Tennessee instead of coming back for another interview then worry. Otherwise, why the doom and gloom? I haven't been a member of the forum long, but I'm beginning to see that the trend around here is always expect the worst. I believe we have a great franchise, great owner (not without flaws), great stadium, and great fan base. All of these things make the Colts job one of the best in the NFL. When real football guys (Bill Polian, Tony Dungy) and not the media talk, they all say that the Colts and Irsay are 1st class all the way. I just tend to believe that coaches will be more concerned about what men like Bill and Tony have to say over every NFL "expert" with a Twitter account. I really hope that McDaniels is our guy, but if not we will win with someone else leading the charge!

Don't get why everyone think Mariota is worth a crap in 1 season Brisset has damn near identical stats to Mariotas career stats 

 

McDaniels can come here and basically get Luck and Mariota both

Because I am not head over heals with Josh McDaniels to the Colts?

Kept saying all day yesterday McDaniels wanted to go to Tennessee and that they would fire Mularkey.

First Nagy rejects Colts. Wilks declines to Interview. Rhule withdraws his name. Now McDaniels looks to go to Tennessee.

I know he has much love on this forum, but I believe Irsay is the reason we can't sign a coach.

 

Start saving this quote, guys. 

 

It'll be a fun one to post in the thread where McDaniels is hired. 

 

One could also go and compile all the other ridiculous posts he's made into one singular thread where we all go to lol, but there are just so many of them, how could one ever get it done?

If it does turn out to be vrabel that may be a blessing in disguise.  He has shot up the coaching ranks for a reason.   We may be getting him early but he may be the next great coach in the nfl for all we know

Yeah, nobody should be sighing in relief yet.

I know Ballard and McDaniels have the same agent and things could be as close as they can be without it being done in writing, but there's still a lot of time.

You're going to be heartbroken if McDaniels doesn't go to Tennessee, aren't you?

Seems that way, but let me counter with this. Why even offer an extension or have talks of an extension if you know 100% you can get McDaniels? If they knew they wanted Josh and could get him, you just fire Mularkey without the dog and pony show of having extension talks break down.

Interesting. A lot can still happen between now and the time the Pats are out of the playoffs, so it's too early to call him our HC.

There is a lot of pie in the sky feelings on this board. I don't conform to the kumbaya crowd.

Just hoping Ballard can find us a decent head coach. There are still several good directions this team couild turn.

I wasnt sold on McDaniels anyways. Seems unlikable guy.

I agree. When times are tough, I could imagine a player decking him as opposed to running through walls for him. I wish Vrabel had more experience.

In one of my earlier posts I said how Irsay may have to open his wallet much wider if Mularkey is fired.

It may come down to the almighty dollar$

Jon Gruden was able to land 100 million from Oakland.

John Gruden was a proven head coach who has won a super bowl.  McDaniels has a losing record.  Won’t command that kind of money.
