New rumor at KC site, Toub could replace Josh

 

Is there any credible source behind this, or did Greg Doyel go through the trouble of creating an account there just to post that?

ESPN literally said he will be announced later this week

ESPN, the show where gasbags try to do each other with their yelling and know it all. This can be applied to just about any sports tv/radio show today.

Boston sports writer Tom Curran says on Dan Patrick Show today that Josh McDaniels to Colts is still a go. Curran says his sources indicate McDaniels will talk to Belichick today and could be announced as Indy HC by Wednesday.

This is indeed on their site....however, Toub did not even receive and interview, so I find it hard to believe that he is automatically the new favorite for the job.  This seems like recycling old rumors when he was the supposed favorite the first time around..then never had an interview.....I would still hedge my money on McDaniels personally.

If Belichick told him how much longer he will coach and it was a number he liked, i could see McDaniels
waiting it out,
 He would be leaving a great supporting staff.

Florio is explaining himself on the DP Show. 

He said that Ballard had to sell Irsay on the idea and McDaniels needed sold on Irsay.

He also said it *might* still happen, which sounded like going CYA on his rumor, coupled with all of the other information that's now out.

2) If he bails on the Colts, he will arguably never get an interview for a serious HC position in the NFL every again. He would essentially be chaining himself to NE for the rest of his life.

 

This. McDaniels situation is largely different what Belichick's situation was. Yes, Belichick opted out of Jets after saying yes, but he did it because he had an offer from the Patriots. McDaniels doesn't have a better offer than the Colts right now. If he bails on the Colts, his only option is to stay in Boston as OC: And - add this to his Denver experience - he will probably never ever get any offer from any NFL teams. Except maybe the Patriots. And, as good as being the next Pats HC sounds, it actually isn't that tempting. Following the Belichick in Boston, where people soo much used to winning, where the media is famously not forgiving and not patient, and building a new team without Brady? Nooo, thank you. I would easily select Indy, with a patient owner, a young and potentially great QB (even if there is a marginal risk that he won't come back), and a team which is already under rebuild mode, so some early struggle will be forgiven as my next attempt after failing big time in Denver. I just don't see McDaniels being soo dumb he does not see this.

 

Anyway, here you are:

Smh, Florio. This is why I hate today's media and to a further degree social media. Too much hearsay and rumor mongering. I'm so happy I cut the cord with 99% of social media years ago.

[JColts72]

Guess anyone so called professional reporter can make up FAKE Sports news too.

[IndyScribe]

Yeah, I wouldn't trust Florio. It makes sense that McDaniels hasn't told BB that he's leaving, since he needed to focus on the SB. That's why McDaniels will be announced later.

I’ll bet a month of paychecks that Doyel is the root of these rumors. He just can’t let it go. 

[horseshoecrabs]

Oh no, the sky is falling.

[IinD]

Lol at the Hoody not knowing. Yeah, because 2 interviews in Indy were to talk about racing with Jim and Ballard.

I hate the Patriots.

 

I suppose given what Mort was saying earlier, my amateur detective skills lead me to wonder if this could be about 12's. health too. 

I think Mort's comment was prior to the first interview. If he is pulling out due to Mort's comment or Lucks health nothing has changed since prior to his first interview. Not saying he may not stay in NE but it would be for different reasons.

Lol. Epic reply my friend.

When McDaniels is announced on Wednesday, someone should sue Florio for causes undo stress

BB and his Defense sure didn't look Focused.

To be fair, Eagles d was not exactly 85 Bears there. So happy pats lost.

[JColts72]

Maybe Glum Bill is teaching Josh how to send a pre-HC resign fax.

[csmopar]

FYI... Dakich is saying the Colts may adjust the announcement timing due to the funeral of Edwin Jackson.  Says that all sources other than Florio saying McDaniels is a lock to the Colts.

I didn't watch so I might catch the replay, but there must have been some epic terrible defense played last night if each team had over 500 yds of offense.

Eagles D was just as bad. Only 1 punt in game.

A baseball player, I forget who, said it was like watching a Texas Tech game. Lol.

I thought JM called a great game, so did Pederson.  I’m not sure how I’d feel if I were a Lions fan right now.  Holding out one of your best defenders, and basically letting the opposing team do whatever they wanted.  Not that the vaunted Eagles D was any better.

Lots of big plays for each team really. Plus Philly went for it on 4th a couple times.

Calhoun was also technically the first guy to break Pagano being fired. I figure this is as reliable as it can get, if not straight from the Colts FO.

Not to mention it's always seemed like Irsay has an icy standing with the IndyStar guys, they never usually seem to have super reliable info. 

[HeSoColt]

I am just ready for an official announcement from the Colts. The rumors are silly.

So does Tom Curran for the Patriots.

Yup, that's where Kravitz apparently got his info, from Curran.

I'm just thinking that this might be the first bit of info to be coming straight from the Colts/not a New England source.

Most yards ever combined. Probably the worst D game, but also one of the most entertaining.
