....Manning is not related to Colts great Peyton Manning.

Although he hasn’t coached in the NFL before, Manning has earned a reputation as a very good offensive coordinator at the college level. In his two years calling plays at Iowa State, the Cyclones had their two most productive passing offenses in program history.

A friend of mine is an Iowa State alumni,  so we've talked about ISU football the last 2 seasons. This a great hire y'all! ISU was able to beat #3 Oklahoma then #4 TCU this season because of creative plays & fundamentals. Frank Reich is putting together some great offensive minds.

I was born and raised in Toledo, so even though I live in Spokane, WA, I always follow the Rockets in the MAC. Tom Manning has been part of Matt Campbell's coaching staff both at Toledo and Iowa State. Those teams have always had a good offense. Jason Candle, the current Toledo coach, was the Rockets OC under Campbell and he has done well getting the Rockets to bowl games as well. One of the best parts of the Toledo offenses has been creativity, speedy wide receivers, tight end play, and big, strong o-lines. 

  I think this was a great hire.

ikr? I’m really looking forward to Jack Doyle throwing a TD pass. 

 

...to Luck and then Luck telling Tom Brady "here, hold my beer, let me show you how to catch a TD pass." :) 

 

We can always think positive.

I remember watching the Stanford game Live when Luck ran the same play and caught the ball before going out of bounds. If memory serves, he caught the pass one-handed.

    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint. 
    • Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
