It's official Josh McDaniels is the new Coach of the Indianapolis Colts

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Alright.   

 

I don't know about our defense moving forward, but I think the Colts will have the best offense in the league in 2018 and beyond.  

 

Let's Go!  

[HorseFly]

Good Luck, Coach McDaniels.  Looking forward to see what you can do for The Blue.

McDaniels going to call the plays for the Colts too?

That's my guess

That's while Brad Wells is wailing under the tree. 

Doyel, Florio, and Wells are pouting like babies somewhere. 3 guys that basically Troll false news constantly. Some people actually believe their stuff too  

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am hoping McDaniels calls the plays on Offense as well. He will make Luck a lot better IMO.

[John Waylon]

 

I was told he was going to the Titans because he didn’t want to work with Irsay. 

 

[Corndog]

Welcome to the Colts, Coach McDaniels.

 

 As far as everyone complaining about having to wait, it couldn't be done until the Super Bowl was over and most already accepted this as a done deal.

No. Now its time for new rumors.

yeah... the "luck for trade" rumors

[Barry Sears]

Saw the announcement on NFL Rumors and it mentioned this, which I thought was interesting.  Maybe that was the "source" of the rumors yesterday that he wasn't coming...

 

"It’s not clear why McDaniels may have been having second thoughts about the job, but one has to wonder if he is at odds with team brass over the team’s offensive coordinator choice. Last month, it was reported that McDaniels had selected Raiders quarterbacks coach Jake Peetz as their new offensive coordinator and the two sides were hammering out a contract. However, team decision makers appear to have their sights set on former Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. "

 

Of course, it doesn't matter now...he is here.

Somewhere Greg Doyle is crying while hugging Florio

and at the very same time he's writing his next article to ruffle McDaniels' feathers and garner more readership.

Welcome sir. Here's to a good 2018

I don't care what anyone says. Back to back offseasons the Colts went out and got the best GM and best head coach available. I wanted this partnership since last offseason. I am elated.

Same here. Very happy with these two, and am looking forward to FA, the draft, and the future. If Luck is fully healthy next season, the sky is the limit.

[Tsarquise]

So glad we got him. Let's hope he calls the play. Heck of an OC, let's hope he is a heck of a head coach, too.

Yeah, man, it looks like the Colts might be back on the path to be the elite of the NFL again.

Dungy should come back as an assistant HC.

Nice.

Also, yet another assistant with a funny name.

[Jaredfor3]

Best coach we have hired since Tony Dungy. 

 

[ColtsBlitz]

I think it would be safe to see this as a 

+ sign for Luck, but still, I’m going to remain as cautiously optimistic as possible. 

[King Colt]

Amazing how quickly Pats haters welcome Pats personnel in to their homes! Oh well, so much for integrity. Don't think "Win Now" is anywhere in the coming season. This is a rebuilding process, the key word is process. Settle down.

 

Below from the Stampede Blue site -

"He will not be afforded a ton of latitude, however, if he doesn’t begin to at least produce some results within a reasonable time frame. His first season will likely feature similar expectations to that of Ballard himself; create a respectable locker room, show that player development is attainable and do what he says he’s going to do.

Those may seem like minimal expectations, but Colts fans are also a fairly realistic bunch. There’s a realization that “Super Bowl or bust” will not be the motto in his first season at the helm, but make no mistake about it, McDaniels is here to get the Colts back in to contention for a championship inside of his first contract."

I wonder if it is for the same position or if he will be the QB coach.  I also am wondering about the Peetz and Bevell debate....but the coaching staff seems to be forming nicely.

Man that is a lot of SALT. Don't think anyone expects to be the next Super Bowl Champs but ppl are entitled to like and celebrate the hire!

Integrity means stomping, huffing and puffing and being upset that you didn't get your way? Not all of us are like that. Whether you like it or not, he's the new head coach. There is nothing that you or I can do to change that. Why cry about it like a 4th grader?

It's possible to have a distaste for a team and still hold a level of regard for the merits of it's coaches and players. McDaniels is fantastic as an OC, and there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the future with him at the helm.

 

McDaniels is a Colt now. Not a Patriot.

I don't care who get the job. Results are all I care about.
