I like to pretty thoroughly follow those that are considered rising stars in the coaching profession, and Brady is one of them.

 

And Milanovich is an excellent offensive mind that won a championship in 2017.

 

I'm pretty excited for these hires.

 

Also, it's very likely that Eberflus is staying.  If he was gone, it was likely Gannon who would've been promoted to DC.

The team sure is tight lipped on Eason. Either he will be the starting QB next year or maybe just didnt work out well this season behind closed doors

 

Even if he did work out well behind closed doors, how would that make him the starting quarterback? Fourth round pick. Considered a project when drafted. Zero NFL snaps regular or preseason. With the level of importance of the quarterback position, I don't see a guy who wasn't even all conference in college a year earlier taking some practice snaps for a season and being annointed the starting QB.

Ballard said in his end of year press conference that he wasn’t sure if Eason was ready to be the backup, and he needed more time to figure that out.   The backup. 
 

Why do you think Eason might be the starter this year?

Not happening as starter but I’ll put some money down as backup. He’s had a year of seasoning though no opportunities on the field once TC was done. I suspect $ issues will guide the Colts to using Eason as #2 unless he’s just putrid in the off season workouts. I doubt he will be. Of course, I’m in the group of believers that the Colts will trade for their new starting QB.

He was just recently the head coach of Edmonton (of the CFL).

 

He coached his team to a championship in 2017.

 

According to sources, Reich has wanted him as part of the staff in Indy for quite some time.  Would be an outstanding hire.

The bolded sentence above isnt true.

 

He wasnt hired to be Edmontons HC until after the 2019 CFL season. Never officially coached a game for them due to covid. He was the QB coach in JAX in 2017.

So we got a guy that coached for the putrid and perennial Jags? Yuck

This ranks right up there with the end of ‘17.   Pagano got fired with the rest of his staff.   And it was as near unanimous as a fan website could be that Pagano and his staff all sucked.   Period. 
 

Except almost all of them got hired by other teams.   I think only Chudzinski didn’t get hired.   And people here started to notice.    What’s going on?   Why are our former assistants getting hired by other teams?   This doesn’t make sense?   We sucked.  We hated the head coach, therefore all of his assistants must suck too!    Except they didn’t.   
 

It is possible for a good coach to be in a bad team.   Happens all the time.    Sorry.

Jags went to the AFC championship that year when he was the QB coach.

 

@SaturdayAllDay Re: the bold sentence, seems like it was just a miscommunication re: the fact that he went to the AFC championship game in 2017.

I prefer to look at the positives.

 

We got a guy who managed to coach up Blake Bortles to an AFC Title game. Also multiple championships as a CFL coach, and a CFL coach of the Year award. Not a terrible resume.

Probably due to the fact he's literally the only man contracted at the position? He won't be likely the starter, but I'm sure that is the basis for the line of thought....

There is a massive amount of territory between those two options.

I can't see any scenario where he goes from first to third in one season, even if he did look good last season in practice.

That's not an option we want. Give him a couple of years as a backup and then it's possible.
