Is that why he won GM of the year in 2018? Not defending the guy, but saying the team has regressed since he’s been here is a bit of a stretch. 

the colts 4 win record tells it all

I'm not sure if it's been stated but the final four are:

 

Morris

Glenn

Saturday

Steichen

 

Bienemy's agent said this morning that Eric still has an outside shot, but I believe this isn't accurate. 

 

Bienemy

Biassaci

Kafka

Callahan

Martindale all eliminated.

I think Bienemy’s got a bigger chance as a new OC somewhere. He needs to fly on his own a bit and hopefully for him has success with a different QB. That should help his case for the future.

There is a very long list of successful head coaches that have losing records their first year.  So no, it doesn't tell it all. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans are really headed in a good direction. AFC south is found to start turning thirds around I think. Titans are going to be left out if they don’t start making some changes.

What we’ve assumed for several pages now…

Let’s Go! It’ll be official come Tuesday my guess

We have no idea how good these  hires are. They are like the draft. It all looks good on paper until they tire hits the road.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Well looks like it is a done deal.

Yep, we were right! Glad this is the hire! Hyped! It was Shane or bust for me!

I agree, but generally the real GM should have a much better track record picking a HC than an "armchair GM". I won't hold Saturday against Ballard as he is against him being the HC, but he missed with Reich and would have missed with Mcdaniels based on his coaching records with Dever and Las before and after we attempted to hire him. 

 

It's just funny how often a real GM sometimes misses on a coaching candidate he interviews for 8-12 hours. Nathaniel Hackett is the most recent example last year for the Broncos. That's a hire a fan would make with limited info, not a GM that has more info than any Bronco fans.

I'm pretty sure you wrote somewhere that you wanted Saturday to be named head coach.

[Yoshinator]

Very happy to get Shane Steichen btw. Of the 4 remaining, he has the highest upside and potential, and I trust him the most with a new franchise QB. Let's go!

[NFLfan]

Tom is more careful: "Nothing is done until it's done."

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steichen has had more success calling plays then Callahan has had. So this was the right choice between the two.

Watch the Titans jump ahead of us and steal our QB.

If I'm not mistaken Slowik is another ex-PFF guy. For the people discounting them as an enterprise.

Yes we don’t want McDaniels to happen again.

Tom is a smart guy. He would rather be right than be first. I'm not that big a Schefter fan. But people have been pretty certain it is Steichen. If the Colts wanted one of the other candidates, they would have hired them. 

 

Morris should have taken his name out of consideration when he noticed it was taking so long. 

[Indyfan4life]

LETS

FREAKING

GO

 

Get Stroud, target a burner in the draft or FA, ADDRESS the Oline and this team is right back in things.

The only thing I don't understand is why Callahan didn't make the final 4. Why did Saturday get to that point? Was there a coaching flaw in Callahan that we are unaware of?

My only assumption is Jim's loyalty to Jeff. That's it.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Eagles have a ton of FA this off season. I imagine Steichen has looked at that aspect too. Might be hard to replicate this next season. Bradley will for sure be back.

 

 

[JColts72]

Adam and Ian both reported Jeff is OUT! Hooray!!! Still don't get his he took a spot over Callahan. Oh well. Now I just need Chiefs to win.

Pep Hamilton again? I can not see that happening. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Sirriani might run out of connections lol. Next season will really test how good of a coach he is.

That's what I was saying above. You have a bet on the Chiefs?

Yeah funny if both those guys return.

[Derakynn]

Yes Pep Hamilton, definitely wasn’t already fired for being bad.

Colts, Bears, Chiefs fan since  1972.

[DiogoSales]

LFG!!!! Great hire (assuming is going down).

 

In the end, Ballard inserted a credit coin for 2023.

[RollerColt]

I’m happy, but I’ll be more happy when the ink dries.

It's possible he was eliminated earlier, but just didn't tell it to reporters at the time. Those "this guy was eliminated from consideration" reports are very obviously coming from those coaches or their representatives. Others had some incentives to let their current teams know that they are staying. Saturday had no such incentives... his incentive is to have his name in the mix as long as possible. 

[chad hugo]

We needed this.

 

 

[JColts72]

New Posting once actually signed, sealed and delivered.

[JColts72]

Guess Jim was impressed 2nd visit to him. Hiring has a lot to do with draft position and with getting rookie QB

no coach will make a difference until we get some elite talent, the coach cant make a guy with below average talent into a super star, bring on ballards new scapegoat!!!!

Well the tweet does say it’s a guess.   Not sure why those two names come to anyone’s mind, especially Pep. 
 

Not a fan.
