jshipp23 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Look here, I said we should look into him last year, and got bashed for it..He won a National Title at freaking Clemson, they were in the mix again this year without Watson..He might not be the so called "untouchable", like Urban Meyer or Harbaugh..He could be next Jimmy Johnson, that's who I compare him to coaching and personality wise..Why not call him make a big offer? I'm ok with Reich, it could work out, just seems like the safe vanilla decision to make which may turn out great or be Pagano 2.0..After the McDaniels fiasco, if I'm Irsay i'm going big, guns loaded taking a shot..He is a guy I have zero doubt players would love, and run through a wall for..

I'd guess his internet connection got slow, and he wasn't sure it was sending. I don't know anything about Dabo. So, no strong feelings about him either way.

Well. Reich is 56 which means he'll probably only coach at the most 9 to 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to bet you were "bashed" not for the idea itself but more likely for the way over the top way in which your presented it.

mds Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Goodness, I hope the Colts hire a coach soon. All of these suggestions that are being thrown out for the Colts to hire all lack one pretty important thing: they don’t want to leave what they’re doing! Manning, Saban, Sweeney, Harbaugh, and whoever else that has been mentioned are not interested! We all do realize that it takes two people to get a job - the person hiring and the person APPLYING. I am sure conversations are constantly had (like Ballard mentioned in his presser) and feelers are constantly put out to gauge an individual’s thinking. *However, I do hope rumors get out that Dabo Sweeney might be interested so that Urban Meyer can get a little payback. Is that wrong? It probably is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, they haven’t invited me into the process. I’m not being coy when I say that. I’m operating in an absence of information. I don’t know who I would take if I were Ballard because I don’t know (1) who has applied, (2) what they said when they were interviewed, and (3) how they would mesh with my personality and the others in the building. For the purpsoses of the internet though, I understand that there are some sexier candidates than others. However, I know Doug Pederson was no one’s first choice and he just won a Super Bowl.

Fair enough! The only problem is that we have to have a pit bull want to get in our ring. It is similar to the Pacers. There will be a ton of upper tier free agents this summer. Fans can scream “Why don’t they sign Lebron?!” The reality is that Lebron was never considering Indiana. Similarly, there are many coaches that are not even considering the Indianapolis Colts coaching opportunity. Those that are, I’d love to get the best of that group.

Lol Honestly, never have had a choice, said that many times on here over the last several months. This me, none of the candidates were ever a "must have" including JM. That's why in the poll I made last month, I never voted. I'll be content in the near term with whomever it is that Ballard hires. Won't be thrilled, won't be disappointed or discouraged just in a wait and see pattern. I dont know if theres a candidate out there out there that would get me excited.

Valpo2004 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 He may not want to leave Clemson. A high level school like Clemson to the NFL is sort of a lateral move. And it may just be me but his personality strikes me as a college coach only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I honestly do not think Swinney would leave the collegiate level. He is having way to much fun at Clemson and has a very good thing going there. He is one of the highest paid college coaches also. and he could end up being the successor to Saban at bama when he decides to retire. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be against hiring him, I think he could make the colts exciting to watch, but I just dont see him jumping to the NFL.

ThinBlueLineColts Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hearing Dabo speak and seeing segments on him prior to various big games and all that I get the vibe he was made for college coaching. He seems to love the recruiting aspect of it which is huge, the pageantry of college football, traditions and also he talks alot about turning young kids in to great men.

Ne-Ca-Higher Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Dabo is Saban's heir apparent at Bama. Why would he pass on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHColtfan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I like the guy. He is a lot of fun to watch and listen to. But who in the world would want to leave the great Clemson success he has built for the snake pit of the NFL. It's like all the conversations about Manning- why leave a great gig to put yourself into the middle of this mess. If someone is looking for a challenge however, this is a great place because it is a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people do not want to leave their comfort zone, as we have experienced. Heck, these guys wouldnt even be getting a pay raise to leave their schools. They are the gms, coach, president, whatever and run their programs. Why ruin a good thing? Could they lead an NFL team? Probably, but why take the risk? Lifers at the college/semi pro ranks aint too bad and these guys livin large doin so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
