I need ink on paper! Verbal agreement won't do these days!

While I'm sure the Colts will be waiting to announce until ink is on paper from now on, the problem is mostly that McDaniels is a treacherous weasel.  He's an outlier.  95 percent of coaches in the league if they agree to something verbally they will stick to it.

[Colt Overseas]

I like this hire. From all reports, Frank is a genuine hard working guy, that players will respect and play for. That description would fit Pagano too, but Reich will bring more to the table. He is innovative offensive mind, with good experience in the league. I think if the Colt's land Bevell, with all his experience and play calling, we will see a much more effeicent offense. 

 

Very excited, wish the man the best.

Matt Eberflus! 

 

The new best DC in the league.

Politics and religion are not allowed 

If we haven't removed it it's because we didn't see it and nobody reported it

 

FOR THE RECORD: Don't!

That Belichick guy has the personality of soggy cardboard.

Yeah when he talks it's scary stuff  He has the same demeanor Dungy had, the difference is he knew how to Draft better than our organization. We relied on Peyton too much.

It's Official. Per everywhere. WOW! What a turn of events! 

 

We luck out by not inking McDoofus, and instead we find a GEM of a coach.

 

Let's not forget that Frank Reich beat McDoofus in Super Bowl LII. He out OC'd him.  

 

It's awesome to bring one of our own back to Indiana! Not only is this a great PR move, but this is an absolutely fantastic football hire. 

 

Welcome Home Frank!!!!!

 

Well to be fair...Doug Pederson actually called the plays but Reich was the OC and I'm sure he had input on the game plan.  Saying Reich out OC'd McDummy may be a bit of a stretch but I think we got an upgrade over Josh in terms of commitment and integrity.

I wouldn't compare him to Dungy, but he's pretty calm on the sidelines.

That's true and obviously, Ballard liked what he heard and I have trust in Ballard. 

Ballard talks big and we need to improve a lot.

 

But I like his preference towards playing with speed...speed over size.

And for a young  guy who hasnt accomplished anything yet, he is very confident

He can make him the highest paid ball boy in the NFL there been an opening in New England for a while now ..

 

Thats not as easy a job as you think. NE ball boys need to know all about Deflating footballs.

Coaching wise he is better than Dungy, just better at adjusting and Drafting Players. Dungy wasn't really over Drafting though, that was more Polian. I was just comparing their demeanor. BB usually just stands there like Tom Landry on the sidelines

5 years seems long.

I hope we made the Reich choice.

seems standard from other contracts handed out Gruden got a 10year deal. If Ballard does his job and gets talent on this roster he will make everything a lot easier for the other coaches on staff including Frank

He should be confident he did a good job last offseason better than most people have given him credit for. He has built a nice foundation now he has a good amount of money to spend under the cap. He also has high draft picks to work with.

Be nice to get it out of the way, sign him tonight, press conference Tuesday or Wednesday.  People have to get back from the funeral and settled back to normalcy.

He gets a lil salty sometimes, but far from fiery.

 

Bill Walsh wasn't exactly a raving lunatic either.

Gruden a little more proven u think? That was over the top with his contract.

It is my story and I will tell it the way I want to.  

 

BTW, yeah I know DP called the plays in Philly. Doesn't really matter though. It's not like Houston where they don't even have an OC.

It doesn't matter because he was part of the offense and we bring in a guy who will take care of the offense anyway.

Thank you Kraft and Mcdufus, this IMO will be a much better hire than Mcdaniels would have ever been. So happy it worked out this way. Have fun being the Pats OC for the rest of your career Mcdummy.

Welcome Frank Reich!!

We dont know what we have yet...and draft picks are lottery tickets.

I like his talk but, if we're being honest,  its just talk so far

[JColts72]

Maybe Jim won this one over Ballards Campbell?

[JColts72]

Mods! How many Frank HC forums? Think can be merged?

I am hoping he is ready for many battles! Lets move full force with Reich as our leader and Andrew getting his dangerous right arm ready for many battles!

What makes them say that? I thought McDaniels was hands down the best candidate until after he backed out.  I don’t know much at all about Reich if I’m being honest. 

 

The fact that he’s absolutely sucked anywhere he’s been outside of NE.

 

There’s also him being a documented cheater at 2 different places.

[AZColt11]

Think he will try to lure DeFilippo with him as OC?  Or do you think he will stay in Philly and take Reich's spot?  Word is he is a hot commodity also.
