So, is the Jeff Saturday experiment over yet?

All they have to do is interview one minority candidate… Reggie Wayne for example…

I wonder how the rule works out if you offer to interview a minority candidate and they refuse the interview - do you still have to find & interview one?

I wonder which QB he would go for?  As funny as it seems he has seen stroud play up close.  Definitely trust him to pick the QB.

I can see him picking Stroud, he has went up against him. Now he can work with him. That would be funny though. I think Young is going #1 to Houston.

Harbaugh would be fantastic 

 

There has to be other interviews, but I bet Jim Irsay brought it up as far as how much $$$$ it would take

 

My forecast  is that Harbaugh will be the Colts coach by March

 

WE NEED HIM ASAP

He could be the Colts coach and GM by next Tuesday, or right after how ever long it takes for Irsay to do the cursory interviews.

[2006Coltsbestever]

If we hire Harbaugh, that will make up for all the nonsense the Colts have put us through this year. I will even break out the Cigar on that one

I assume Harbaugh might want to do other interviews too. It would have to be a dream for him to come coach the colts. 

[Nesjan3]

So if Harbaugh gets hired Ballard is as good as done

Well, when this supposed conversation at the BIG 10 Championship about him possibly becoming the HC of the Colts took place with Irsay, I wonder if Ballard was involved with it or even knew about it.

[JColts72]

This is all land of make believe. Why would Jim H. work with Jim and Ballard? Colts owner is a babbling loose cannon. Jim's ego will have Saturday back just to prove a point.  Denver may give Jim H. the control he wants. Jim H. will cost more then Jim may want to pay as still has to pay Frank for years like the Mets with Bobby Bonilla. Since we are playing fantasy coaching; go for Sean too

Yeah, the timing of the tweet about Harbaugh being receptive to NFL offers comes on the heels of Denver supposedly reaching out. 

 

A team reportedly reaching out to a coach who is reportedly receptive to offers.  Sounds to me like he'll end up in Denver.

Ownership more stable and he will fix Wilson.

Yes.  I meant that since Irsay is seemingly talking about HC without his GM, he's not relying upon his GM for much input.  

 

I have know idea how much Ballard is involved.  He may be involved with everything related to Harbaugh.  Just saying that if he isn't, it might be a sign that Jim is ready to move on from him to give Harbaugh control

Colts have put us through nonsense this year. I don't see what explaining needs to be done? From QB changes, injuries, coaching changes, the team saying we are all in, etc.. From the beginning they should have just ruled Leonard out for the year instead of getting people's hopes up = another example. He was never going to play and they knew that, just wishy washy crap.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Harbaugh will never go to Denver because Wilson is washed up and 34 years old. Harbaugh would want a young QB to work with.

Maybe….. anything could happen…. But….The team give up 2 first round picks 2 2nd round picks and a 4th

 

Russell Wilson is on a fast decline. I don’t believe fixable is a probable outcome. 
 

IMHO Denver wouldn’t be a great scenario for a top tier coach

They are stuck with Wilson and his cap for a few years

Good point. Denver where now in draft position?

[ShuteAt168]

I’m not sure if I see Harbaugh wanting to tie himself to what appears to be a broken Russell Wilson along with so much missing draft capital. Like someone said, though, maybe he thinks Wilson is OK and that the coaching has been inept. It would be nice to go big game hunting and get Sean P or Harbaugh but that may be wishful thinking. Irsay’s nonsensical comments at the Saturday presser would give any prime candidate pause.

Denver doesn't have hardly any draft capital as well. They gave it all away to get Wilson.

But, with the defense, I could see Harbaugh trying to turn it into a Time of Possession smashmouth offense to counter KCs air attack.  Sign a running QB and a few olinemen and the offense is pretty cheap to build.  I think they have two pretty good TEs.

 

Neither Indy or Den look like very attractive spots, but, teams looking for a HC rarely do look attractive.

And other top candidates may not even bother too? What a fool to make us sick about pre ordaining Saturday to possibly return. Not going to get hammer due to small market sports reporters.

It has to be over after this season. The fact that Jeff called the Oline out for not sticking up for Foles after the Thibodaux celebration but he didnt come out to his QBs defense speaks volumes. It starts a the top. I've never been more disqusted with a Colts squads pride than I am with this current team. This team quit mentally and a lot of these olinemen only care about their money not their performance. Embarrassing....

If Harbaugh is ready to come back I think it will be for the Colts.  No doubt in my mind.  I think Denver knows it and is making a last ditch effort to get him.

Ballard has a BIG personality

Harbaugh has a BIG personality

 

i don’t see them on the same squad

 

Harbaugh didn’t get along with GM in San Francisco

 

I would MUCH rather have Harbaugh than Ballard

 

Irsay said FR was safe.   Then fired him….

Irsay needs a new coach….. It’s 1000 % clear that he holds Harbaugh in extremely high regards

 

They have dinner together……. I think a $ number was probably tossed around

 

My hope is that our next coach is Harbaugh

But it IS his choice

 

Remember the Colts had 2 minority head coaches in past 20 years

 

Irsay isn’t a problem in that arena
