Offensive Coordinator

I would be mildly surprised if Bevell is hired as our OC.

So was Richard....  meaning, he trusts Ballard and Reich to form opinions of possible OC's over Walterfootball.com

Its kind of a meaningless thing to say.  Everybody trusts professionals over pundits.  Except the pundits on this forum usually trust themselves over anybody else. 

 

Like the love for Bevell.  He strikes me as someone who has very little innovation and simply succeeded by riding Wilson and Lynch, so I'm not sure why the pundits on this forum are so attracted to him.

 

Several weeks after the season, he's still available.

Regarding the love for Bevell on this forum that you find so hard to understand....     answer this question.....

 

WHO?   ELSE?   IS THERE?!?!?

 

Peopke aren't attracted to him because he's great.   If he was great, he'd likely be employed now.   Peopke are attracted to him because they know him.   He has a track record of success.    

 

Posters here do not know if the obscure position coach that may get elevated to OC for the first time in their career is any good.   He's got no track record.

 

But, the fact that we've asked to talk to the WR coach of the Chargers may be a sign that we're not close with Bevell.   So you'll be able to sleep tonight.

Wade Phillips sat at home for 2 years without being hired.  The NFL isn't filled with genius.

The Chargers have granted request for Nick Sirianni to interview.

L@@ks like he's the guy.

...Breer characterizes Sirianni as the “top candidate” for the job, Bevell’s availability notwithstanding. Reich and Sirianni worked together during Reich’s tenure with the Chargers...

Has anyone heard whether or not Reich plans to call the offense?  I know its probably too early to know for sure, but I've been cut off from the news today.  Wondered if our fanbase has any insight?

Seems to be a question mark at this point.

Why? He called plays previously in his career and Pederson didn’t call plays until this year in Philly. There is no reason why he won’t be in charge of the offense like Nagy, Pederson, Reid, etc. 

 

I don't know anything. I was operating under the assumption that Bevell was the leader for OC. 

 

For the most part, I would prefer the head coach not be the primary play caller, with few exceptions.

Please not Bevell he's terrible

Here's an article about our future OC:

sounds like from that story he posted above this that he is a well respected guy.  He seems to be another up and coming coach...seems like they have been doing well the past few years....see Shanahan, Pederson

Sirriani would be a big loss to the Chargers. Creative, hard working (understatement), young coach that pushes his players.

Sounds like a big get for the Colts

[DougDew]

I like the idea of an up and coming HC paring with an up and coming OC rather than rehashing others.  That's how you score a find.

[horseshoecrabs]

If the interview  goes well  sounds like he could be our new OC.

"young coach that pushes his players"

 

That's the part that catches my eye.

 

Hopefully that translates into not allowing certain players to take plays or even entire games off.

 

I'm officially intrigued by this potential hire.

Walterfootball is horrible.  They still have Lamar Jackson going #1?

They're showing Barkley as being the best player in the draft and Quentin Nelson, a G, being taken #5.  So I agree, today they're horrible.

[GoColts8818]

Like what I am hearing about Nick.  It sounds like the Colts would have two well respected and up and coming position coaches running the offense and defense.  There will probably be some growing pains to start with but it looks like everything the Colts are doing is with an eye on the future.  

[MB-ColtsFan]

Geez, this a high risk with (I guess) a possibility for high return.

 

1st year head coach

1st year DC

1st year OC

2nd year GM

 

The possibility of seeing confusion on this team in 2018 is real in my mind, balanced, somewhat, by...umm...optimism?

 

Kind of feels like the spring of 2012 from that point of view.

Isn't Barkley the consensus best player in Draft??

Geez , there's nothing wrong with that. Barkley is considered the best player by many and Nelson in all likelihood should go between 5th and 9th .
