Unless one confuses Marvin's sideline clapping and deer in the headlight stare as continuity. I think if Marvin doesn't stay, Alexander does. Of the two I'd rather keep Marvin.

PatternMaster Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Vrabel is now the coach of the Titans, he's staying in the division. I wonder who will be his OC and QB coach, how he develops Mariota will be one of the main determinates of his level of success as an HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wilks gets job in Arizona Funny that 2 things that I predicted or wanted to happen blew up. 1) I thought we would hire Todd Haley because he was successful in Pitt, a known entity and had a decent time i KC. FIRED Now in Cleveland 2) I wanted Kris Richard, loved what he did in Seattle with DBs and loved his coaching style. FIRED Now in Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I like this, Aaron Rodgers seems really salty over having lost Van Pelt as his qb coach: @jasonjwilde 26m26 minutes ago Aaron Rodgers making his disappointment about Alex Van Pelt's departure as quarterbacks coach -- "without consulting me," he says -- very clear on Golic and Wingo. @jasonjwilde 20m20 minutes ago Full quote from Aaron Rodgers on losing Van Pelt: "My quarterback coach didn't get retained. I thought that was an interesting change -- really without consulting me. There's a close connection between quarterback and quarterback coach. And that was an interesting decision."

I love things like this because they are a peek behind the door. As fans we are all pretty ignorant of who are the good coaches and who are just the guys who happen to know somebody. Knowing that Rodgers loved Van Pelt is awesome. Marvin's biggest strength is his ability to recruit good coaches to his staff. I think he got caught up with a group that he didn't love but that he was loyal too. I think that the new DC, QBs coach and OL coach are all upgrades.

I think Marvin wasn't allowed to fire them. There's a contract negotiation and suddenly all the "promote from within" gravy train straphangers are shown the door at once? No doubt in my mind that the staff reset was a condition of Marvin coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would like to say McDaniels would never be offered another job anywhere after what he just did to the Colts but I would bet he gets the Patriots job next and I think people will downplay this later. After how he was perceived in Denver the guy must be tone deaf to his reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living here in the hoosier state we always hear more scuttlebutt about the Colts. There have been a few reports over the last couple of days that some doctors are concerned with Luck's progress and he might need additional surgery. I always felt that McDaniels going to Indy was contingent on Luck's health and maybe he was not feeling to comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 The McDaniels news is pretty nuts all things considered. Everything pointed towards him taking the Colts job and people are rightfully pissed off at him for backing out at the last minute. Three of the assistants he lined up are stuck because they already signed contracts (unlike McDaniels). The Colts have to start their search over with most of the other new staffs already filled up. Whoever they hire will start from behind and be forced to accept assistant coaches he didn't hire or want. Obviously, something happened behind the scenes for him to burn bridges like this. Rumor has it Kraft (to stick it to the Colts for Deflategate) offered McDaniels a raise with a tacit agreement to replace Belichick possibly as soon as 2019. There is also the issue of Luck's health which is still a mystery and could have scared off McDaniels. I would put my money on Frank Reich or Dave Toub being the next Colts head coach.

I think there was an agreement made and went so far as the Colts announcing it and scheduling a press conference.

Colts stopped interviewing including Mike Vrabel who they liked I think 2. Colts started hiring the coaches that he was interviewing 3.

|schotzee| Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Probably a blessing in disguise for the Colts. He seems an egotistical overrated coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
