HC Search Discussion Thread

[#12.]

Hopefully it's not Saturday in the end, but I do wonder if you're talking about two different people, the coach Ballard would hire if it were entirely up to him vs. the coach he ends up taking to Irsay because he believes that coach has the best chance to eliminate Saturday.

He does mention he talked to people plugged into the search. Whatever that means.  That could of just been random bloggers. No one has really been able to get a hold on the Indy job because nothing is leaking.

 

Yeah that's what I mean. No one "plugged into the search" is talking. I listen to the Ringer podcast at times, Solak is making a name for himself but he's more blogger than insider, and I don't think he knows anything.

Ballard is a stickler for process. That’s what this extensive interview process tells me. Whether or not the process is right has nothing to do with it. Ballard wants to conduct long, thourough interviews with every candidate. Again I still think there is some analysis paralysis here, as that seems to be one of Ballard’s flaw (waiting in FA, stalling on QB’s, etc… But this is Ballard.
 

I think he’s still haunted by the McDaniels incident and is trying to do it differently this go around. I do think this process is being dragged out just a bit though. All this and only one guy is going to get the job at the end of the day. While it’s good to be calculated sometimes, leaders have to be able to make critical decisions quickly, even if it’s the wrong one.

One guy I don't think has been mentioned is the old Raiders coach, pair him up with Carr and draft a LT at #4, we are in business.

Yeah he may put together the 1st 10-15 plays for Andy and Andy just runs it. We don't know but because it is Andy he gets the most credit 

 

 Callahan had a very interesting interview explaning how much of the game planning he did. There was a lot of situational stuff like the 2 min, 4 min, red zone situations, different short yardage situations, and it went on. It was a different view than what i kind of took for granted.

I want Kafka and either Young or Stroud, if not even Eric B.. Saturday would be a great O.Line coach.

Then I think you’ll be unhappy.   Because neither Kafka nor Bienemy are on the list for a second interview.

Carr looked so good and accurate last night. I hope he has better luck with a new team.

I liked Solak much better at TDN when he was just doing draft/prospect related stuff. So far being an "insider", I haven't been a fan.

There have been reports from more connected and credible reporters both nationally and connected to the Colts who have said the opposite.

 

Who ever should we believe? If only this guy had a real credible source to substantiate his assertion… an outlet no one would ever dare question the integrity and authenticity of…

I wouldn't mind Biasucci at all as HC.  Sign Carr and trade back in the 1st rd and draft a quarterback later.  Accumulate more picks.  I think there is a great chance we would be back in the playoffs with a young quarterback behind Carr.

I don’t think anyone who is involved in the search was probably even at the senior bowl. There was some assistants I saw there. Everyone else is working on the coaching search.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Carr is young but is he the type of guy that can become a top 10 QB in todays league? With coach B in Vegas he looked good, under McDonalds he didn't but McDonalds stinks as a head coach.

He doesn't work for B/R, he works for The Ringer. And the only thing that actually matters is whether he has any sourcing and inside info, not what company or network he works with.

QB's play until they are 36 or 37 now days at a high level, some closer to 40. Isn't Carr only 31?

He will be 32. That still isn’t young.

That would give us a good 5 year window though if we went that route.

He looks like a 15 year old kid, he probably never even seen Joe Montana play or remember the 1985 Bears.

He looks like he might have inside info on whether the 8th grade cafeteria is having peanut butter and jelly or hot dogs for lunch.

That would literally be as bad as hiring Saturday, considering he's 39 and the cost it would take to get him. Not too mention he'd be another band-aid QB.

I remember my high school would serve Char Burgers which were greasy but as a kid we all loved them. On Friday's it was Pizza though, greasy but great

I think the vast majority would be happy with Carr and a rookie quarterback drafted in this back of round one or round two.

Would Carr want to come here though?  I think he said something along the lines that he wants to be on a good team.  Not his exact wording

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Some good stuff from Zak Keefer on his podcast. He said they want to get through the Steichan interview then decide if they want to do more interviews. He said they may just do a third interview to bring them in to offer them the job. He said it could be as early as Monday or Tuesday or as late as a couple days after the SB if it’s Steichan. He  says it’s not guaranteed there will be a third round. Still saying it won’t be Saturday.

Just saw a report from Jeremy Fowler saints are very interested in him.

I would hope so.  I don’t think we’re a bad team.  With him here I think we would challenge for the South title.  I could also see Reich and Carolina following this same logic.  I think Reich would love for him to come to Carolina.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Keefer says he thinks something will break Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.
