Jim Bob might be coming home. He was with us from '09-'11, was an offensive assistant with Manning and the Broncos in '13, and was the OC for the Lions I believe from 2016-2018 under Caldwell. 

[Mike06181]

Cooter was a defent offense co ord for lions but his play calling was nothing special. That would not be the problem for the colts.

[shasta519]

That's interesting. Expected to see names I didn't know. Probably won't have to worry about JBC leaving for a HC position though.

Yep. He definitely has the IND connections. I guess his one season working with Steichen must have left a strong impression.

Jim is a very strong character and not afraid to be passionate. He would fit in well with Steichen's vision.

I'd be surprised if they didn't block us.

He would be my first choice. Hope they get him signed.

The name Jim-Bob Cooter has me doing this - but he is a good OC. If we hire him, I will just call him Jimmy  

[Hark]

Please hire this guy!!! We need a dude named Jim Bob Cooter. The content that name would create on this board about his offense is reason enough to do it.

"God dangit, Jimmy Bobby! Call a slant!"

 

Ah I can see it now!

Cooter already interviewed with TB and Carolina and was not blocked.

Carolina has not yet signed an OC, it seems they want Johnson from Phila or Cooter, now it looks like Johnson will be promoted and staying with the Eagles. So the Colts probably will be in competition with Carolina

I thought he had already signed with Carolina?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

As expected

They are not a division rival though.

I mean really, the big thing that I’m taking away from this is the amount of Colts fans who have no idea who he is when we went through this whole thing over his name just a decade ago. It’s like I’ve woken up in some kind of alternate dimension where he wasn’t an assistant here during a Super Bowl run.

Duke, the name Jim Bob Cooter is worth another go round.

 

Duke.  The guys name is Jim Bob which interesting in and of itself, then his last name is Cooter to go along with it.

I am sure he thinks of his parents fondly all the time.

Sure he is, it's not like the guy is running around desperately begging everyone to just "call me James".

Absolutely.  He could have changed if he wanted.

I have no opinion of the dude other than a guy that chooses to keep the name Jim Bob in this culture is not a guy worried about who he is.  I think it is awesome and I totally exudes self confidence.  

 

But for a couple minutes I'm just going to revel in how awesome the name Jim Bob Cooter is.

Does Ballard not have any other phone numbers aside from the Eagles?

Steichen is putting together his team, not Ballard

First person to come to my mind, also.

[GwinnettColt]

I think it would be a good hire.   Of course, we are in need of a franchise QB and O-line personnel upgrades in RG and C.  

[buccolts]

So, Jim Bob prefers not to call plays as an OC?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Does this bother any of you?

 

Cooter is from Fayetteville.[10] He was arrested for driving under the influence in June 2006, and was suspended from the Volunteers as a result.[5] In 2009, he was charged with aggravated burglary after climbing into a window and getting into a woman's bed.[10] The charges were later dropped.[11]

[Happy2BeHere]

So basically two teams are vying for the same cooter ?

Immm….  Yeah.   But we’ll see how this plays out.   This kind of thing is big with Irsay, his daughters, and Ballard.   
 

There will be plenty of questions.   How Cooter answers them will be interesting.

The first offense in 2006 was before the Colts hired him the first time. He was working for the Colts the 2nd time, I believe. So I’m not sure it will or he wouldn’t have been offered the interview?
