As far as I can tell from Google it appears Bevell is the clear favorite for the Giants job. Why do we think hes still coming here?

Well, apparently Ballard has been in contact with Bevell for a while now.  Hopefully it pays off, but if history is any indicator (McDaniels) it may not turn out well.

[HungarianColtsFan]

Still, there's 1 significant announcement to make...

[GoColts8818]

I would be shocked if he backed out but based on how things went last week I think everyone will understand if I withhold my celebration until his press conference.

 

I think he is a good a choice and kinda wished he had been in the mix the first go around.  Good job by Ballard to make the best of this situation.

What type of offense does he play? I hope it's a quick hitting

offense where Luck doesn't have to hold onto the ball for 5 seconds.

Wonder what his staff will look like?

I have suspicion Elberfus will be the DC...

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

That is great news now can we please get Darrell Bevell ???

[krunk]

Who is left to be OC if we don't get Bevell? Kubiak? Caldwell? Chud?

I have no doubt he will ..

[Valpo2004]

He was one of my favorites even before they tried to hire McDoofus.  Very happy with the selection.

[#12.]

Safest choice.  Probably should have been interviewed the first time around.

 

The whole idea of hiring McDaniels was to maximize and protect Luck with the Patriot offense.  That can still be done, but it will perhaps be done a little differently.  

 

The rest of it?  It's all about talent.  It's up to Ballard.  Hopefully he has a better offseason than he did last year.

I love when people capitalize words on a forum, like it has some sort of forceful impact. It was more than a possibility that Reich would get the Colts job when DeFilippo took the Vikings OC gig. I'm just saying I'm surprised he didn't wait another day or two. That said, maybe the Eagles didn't try to keep him. Obviously, it's impossible for us to know.

REALLY glad you LOVED it 

[GwinnettColt]

This is a good move.

 

I think it will work out better than hiring the Manboy to come here.  He's happier in NE anyway.

 

Hopefully, Reich improves the O-line and playcalling.   I'm not sure about the D.  Cowboys fans seemed to like Eberflus, according to some of the forum posts.

I am all for expanding the West Coast offense.

 

He fits what Reich is doing too. 

 

Bring him in!

[Valpo2004]

For the record we got the offense of coordinator of the team that actually won the Super Bowl.

[i am yoda]

Very happy with this hire!  A quality coach and a quality man.  See, we don't have to go to the dark side to get excellent.

Best loser?  A guy with a Super Bowl ring who has worked with some of the best QBs in the league is a loser?  What about the guy who doesn't have any integrity to keep his word?  I'd say we avoided a loser with McDaniels and got a guy with integrity in Reich.

 

He’s been dismissed or fired from multiple organizations in his time in the NFL. He didn’t even call the plays in Philadelphia and yeah I think he isn’t going to be successful in Indianapolis.  I don’t see why you bring up a snake like McDaniels.  Just because he’s a winner with no integrity doesn’t make me feel any better about going with a loser who has integrity.  They are both pretty awful options.  Do you disagree?  Do you think Reich is going to return the Colts to greatness?  If so then say so and if not are you just upset that I’m not a delusional fanboy that just falls in line? I don’t think the Colts will be a successful team under Reich. That is my opinion. I hope I am wrong but only time will tell.

[shasta519]

This made too much sense not to happen. Now I am very interested to see who the OC is. I assume it has to be Bevell.

Priority #1 is protecting Luck physically.  If we can have an actual, real running game like they had in Seattle when they were successful, it would certainly help.

He was fired once. Position coaches often are not retained when the HC gets fired. Don’t change the narrative just cuz you don’t like the hire 

[snkdy]

Yay! Fantastic news.

Like I said, root for another team if you think the Colts run things badly, it's a simple solution. Otherwise you are Trolling at this point.

If you're referring to the Chargers he was fired and then McCoy got fired a year later.
