Ballard's or Irsay's hearts might have said Martindale or leader type, but in the end I'm guessing their heads will say OC.  I do think they went back and forth on it.

“The league is a competitive league.  Look, you have to be really good to start in this league. If you’re worried that we’re bringing in depth and talent, you’re probably not the right guy at that position,” Roseman added referring to Wentz. So why didn't Ballard make that same assessment of Wentz, and this is the guy we trust with picking the next coach, franchise Qb and so on?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If colts had. Vet QB maybe you could go Martindale. But I think when your going to be drafting that rookie you need a offensive guy that can grow with that young QB. Gives that young QB some stability. I really would be shocked if it’s Morris or any of the defensive guys.

Not as a rookie but I think the right combo could take us there eventually

We have holes and needs, yes . But a solid HC is vital and what we need now in a HC is vastly different than we needed a few years ago when we thought we had a franchise QB. I don’t anyone expects an instant turn around.

how long before this board blames the new hc for our lack of wins,?

Ballard made the mistake of trusting his head coach

then it should be easy for you to find a quote from someone saying that a new HC and rookie QB is all we need to get to the SB

I figure week 3 but quit acting like this forum hasn’t blamed Ballard, en masse, they have.

Because the supposed QB guru HC said he could be fixed and Ballard trusted his judgement

Depends on many factors. Jags and Giants didn't think so. Look at they turned out.

[Fluke_33]

I was thinking Ballard having the same agent as Steichen and Callahan may mean something but then remembered that mcdaniels did too until he backed out and the agent dropped him like a bad habit.

It’s time to start discussing and celebrating Steichen as our next coach. The other names aren’t even relevant anymore. If they were, then one of them would have been hired by now

Well  then that makes him a poor Gm. So u r telling me he  made the mistake of trusting his coach and now we r suppose to trust him to hire the right guy?

I think Irsay would love  hire Martindale or the guy from Green Bay. I think Irsay still regrets letting Arians  get away. Those two are Arians clones

Don’t you think a rookie QB picked 4 or higher and a new coach will at least provide some excitement and optimism? That’s all I want.

Yeah, they all have so much in common. I mean, all of them have goatees, and... 

 

Wait, what else?

Biasicci is the special teams guy who has coached for the Packers and was the interim HC for the Raiders before McDaniel.  Rodgers really likes him and advocated for him recently on McAfee’s show.  He also received a 2nd interview.

I heard on the radio they’re supposed to be cut from the same cloth.  Gamblers risk it no biscuit types. And big time leadership skills.  Loud outspoken types

Biasicci and Wink are both older candidates.  Rodgers said on McAfee’s show that the trend now is to go for the younger coordinator’s and he thinks it’s a mistake to overlook the older coaches.  He thinks being a true leader and commanding a room of players is very important if not one the most important qualifications.  Biasicci definitely fits that description he said.

This convinces me it's Steichen. The goatees are compelling but I don't think so. Unless somehow he prefers the AZ job , I think it's pretty much a sure thing.

 

 

The Athletic's Zac Keefer writes his "sense" is Jim Irsay met with Shane Steichen last weekend to sit down with him before Indianapolis' in-person interview with Steichen.

This would appear to be a signal that Steichen is a front runner for the job, and he would be a logical hire for the Colts as they try to rebound from last season's Saturdaypalooza. It would also help explain why the Colts have waited so long to hire a head coach. Irsay previously said this week that he expected a hiring to be finalized in "days" not "hours," so barring some sort of Super Bowl news dump of Saturday coming back, it would make logical sense for Steichen to be the choice.

How fitting would it be Steichen, if he won the Superbowl, and comes here and turns us around to be a contender in a year or two.   Colts OC went to Eagles HC and wins, Eagles OC goes to Colts and wins.   That would be magical!  lol

Then in 2-3 years after Sirianni is fired the Eagles will hire our OC as HC

I think I heard somewhere that no HC in the history of the NFL has won a superbowl with 2 different teams.

Very interesting Irsay flew out to Philly and sat down with him the day before his interview with Ballard.

[Patrick Miller]

I think since the colts are waiting until after the superbowl It’s definitely Steichen. If it were one of the other guys it would have been announced by now.
