As a Colts fan, do you want McDaniels to do well in SB?

Don’t buy those 2019 Super Bowl tickets yet. This guy has a history of being a jerk, so why would anyone assume he won’t pull a fast one on the Colts and not take the job? No press conference scheduled isn’t exactly the sign of a done deal. And of course Luck’s health is far more important than hiring this guy anyway.

With the superbowl game over with now, lets look at Josh Mcdaniels.  He called one hell of a game! Looking at his play calling only made me more excited at the potential of our offense.  I think Luck will break 5000+ next year.  The way Mcdaniels got his recievers open tonight, showed me how creative he really is.  Like Ashlon Jeffery last year, i’m calling that we win the Super Bowl next year.  I don’t care!

Until he says he is staying with the pats I think this is nothing but a rumor.

If you follow what Chris Ballard has been saying since he was hired as the new GM he doesn't want Andrew Luck to ever throw for 5,000 yards.    EVER!

 

Ballard wants a well balanced team where the success of the team doesn't hinge on Luck having to make every big play....

 

Just saying....

I can't stand McDaniels but have often not wanted to say it much openly. I hope for the best but my gut just screams this is the wrong decision. I hope I am wrong and if I am I will eat crow on the forums. I just even woke up before seeing his darn visor in my sleep!!!! Dude just gives me bad vibes.

 

I give everyone a fair chance though, but I am not one to be troll-ish either.

 

That game tonight.......was all Brady putting all that up. It's like Lebron James having a huge game in the finals and still losing and people giving credit to his coaches instead.

 

 

edit: Not looking for a debate or argument either. Going back to sleep. I hope for the best for the Colts.

I was also not feeling this hire. I wanted Pat Shurmur but we have no control over any of this.

The thing I have in the back of my mind is 90% or more of the posters are centering on what McDaniels can do as a OC and what he can do for the offence. My thought process is more in the lines of what can he do as a head coach. A head coaches job involves a lot more than what an OC can bring. Can he manage all the coordinators?  Is he a leader?  The players have to respect him and does he have the people skills to earn that respect?

Been trying to find any post-game Superbowl footage of Josh talking. Finally found one here:


Very poised and you can tell he hates losing, but he's not letting it get to him. Must suck though for him hearing on the loudspeaker the Nick Foles MVP announcement at the end, lol.

I felt the same way at first, but then I realized something.  I have been thinking all along that the only way we were ever going to get past the Evil Empire was to have someone who has the ability to match wits with BB.  Little did I ever think it might be someone from the Dark Side.  But as I watch Ballard and McD operate, I now think we will have a whole team of bright people, with the ability to plan a good future and think on our feet. We have arguably the smartest QB in the league but we've not really utilized that.  Josh in theory gives us that chance, imo.  So I have changed my thinking a bit.  

 

Doug Peterson and Josh McD were the ones who shined tonight, not the defenses.  So, , maybe we get some of that going forward.

Hope McDaniels calls a great game and eagles win via a last sec FG due to a pats defensive collapse. Hope it’s like 31-28

So close. Went how I hoped it would go. Put up that many points against that defense after losing cooks. Impressive

Plus not all the fans In Philly are psycho I've met cool Philly fans I've yet to meet a cool pats fan everyone I've met is arrogant as hell and brags and causes fights by bragging 

 

I have tons of friends who are Pats fans, and I'll say the ones I meet in real life are typically good people. Patriots fans online (Twitter mostly) are a WHOLE different story.

Announcement and press conference is scheduled, Tom Curran tweeted that McD is informing New England today that he's leaving. Step back from the ledge.

Best of both worlds - McDaniels made very good adjustments and the Patriots lost :) . This guy showed he can operate without Gronk in the AFCCG and without Cooks in the SB. Not to mention no Edelman throughout the season. 

 

Granted, he has a HOF guy pulling the trigger but the plethora of experience dealing with offensive injuries and resorting to all levels of the O - RBs, WRs, and TEs to call plays to stress a D has to be given credit for.

 Can you slow me his history of being a jerk?

I would agree with the masses.  We went over to our friend's house to watch the game and they asked me the same question and I responded that I'd like to see the Eagles win 45-41, meaning the Pats looked good on offense but still lost the game.  It pretty much happened that way. 

 

Jules, I feel what you are saying.  Mickey D wouldn't normally be my first choice.  Something about him, just can't put my finger on it entirely.  With that said, he was probably the best choice in what was a weak HC candidate pool this year.  I can only hope that he has learned from his time in Denver.  His offensive acuity is NOT in question IMHO, and the way he called plays vs. a very good Eagles defense only solidified that in my mind.  I disagree with you saying it was all Brady.  MANY times I saw WR's WIDE open on their routes.  To me, that is a combination of both play-calling and game-planning moreso than Brady hitting a guy who has nobody within 10 yards of him.  Hoping he can develop Luck much in the same way.

I'd rather have a jerk who wins sb's then a mr nice guys who chops wood who gets none

Well if he is a jerk he will get no super bowl wins in Indy. If the players don't buy into what he is selling they won't play for him.

Your Mr. Nice guy wood chopper had no problem with the players playing hard for him and he never lost the locker room. If Mcdaniels is a jerk he will never have the locker room.

It didn't surprise me for the Patriots defense to be so bad but it did surprise me to see the Eagles defense do a good job of falling apart them selves. They did step up right at the right time to get to Brady at exactly the right time though.

I think that is true for most teams fans. Way too many can run their mouth sitting somewhere they cant be called out face to face.

I traveled all over this country with my job in the past and found out 99% of fans are pretty good people.

    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
