    Coach Reich's press conference better be all about the QB situation. Grill him and ask what his plan is to find our next franchise QB. Draft prospects, Darnold, Matt Corral, signing veteran. His hire doesn't matter if he can't find our next QB. 

    I think Tepper brought Reich in to fix the QB situation, so I do expect us to be aggressive in finding the next  franchise QB. 

    Why would he telegraph his intentions to the other 31 teams in the league? I hope he's smarter than that.  He should just give vague answers like BB and look at everyone in the room like he's going kill them in their sleep.

    Some Colts people think he could bring Gus Bradley as DC.

    They love Bradley.  Think he did better than Eburflus who they lost to Chicago as a HC the year prior.

    I'm really curious to what kind of defense they will run with our current personnel.

    For people who were here during the Rivera hiring. 
    What was everyone’s opinion before Rivera got hired? 
    I know Richardson wanted an offensive coordinator HC but he was letting Hurney lead the hiring and went along with the Rivera hiring. 
    Was it excitement or disappointment?

    If I recall I was indifferent to it much like I am with this one and others in the past. It is what it is.

    “Engineer” is kind of a nebulous term these days. What kinda engineering are we talking about?

    Civil Engineering.  Highways, bridges, utilities, infrastructure projects and a host of other things related to the field. Does that fit your criteria for an engineer? I really don't care to be honest.

    I cannt imagine how you do this...... You either got the willpower of a god, great therapist, or youre about to exploded with stress.....

    godspeed brother.....  

    As a fellow tenured engineer yes, all of the above. There is a point at which you get tired of teaching some else how to do their job. There's a point where you tell yourself that these young, know-it-all, wet behind the ears, fresh out of college, twits are going to have to learn the hard way just like you did. Luckily for me my staff has already gone through their growing pains and are running on autopilot. My stress is now solely from clients.

    [EEOC has entered the chat]

    No, but I'm very familiar with the policies. I get reminders through training about every 3 months.  We take it very seriously, as we should.  It's made a tremendous difference in the production and diversity of thought processes in the staff.

    With Reich, you know what your getting. And he can put a really good staff together. I like him over a bunch of guys with no HC experience. Not sure this franchise is in position to roll the dice with someone who has never had HC experience. 

    There's a lot of truth in what you said. I've kinda leaned this way after seeing the full list of candidates they interviewed. But I did not sit in in the interviews so I didn't know what to expect when it's all said and done. I just watch the games and hope they win. That's the total of my investment in this team.

    If by “system QB” you mean “not as physically gifted as Lance” than sure.

     

    But if he keeps winning, and keeps distributing and making the right decisions…well that’s the whole point of the position right?

     

    Sunk cost in Lance will, but shouldn’t, influence who starts in the future, particularly if Purdy ends up being a better NFL quarterback.

    I would gladly take Purdy off their hands. Lance is a bust for what they gave for him. I would take Purdy over him and never look back.

    I take it you don't have old family members who get turned down in the workforce because of their age.

    They do this all the time in warehouse jobs like Walmart/Amazon/etc...

     

    They choose the younger worker over the older worker every time. They look for longevity in those companies. I know this because my aunt is a supervisor at a WalMart warehouse. They most definitely look at age in warehouse jobs.

    I would keep that to myself if I were her. But that doesn't surprise me from a company like Walmart.

    So in other words we should hire him because you say so.

     

    Why ask a question if you going to debate the answer.lol

     

    What you want me to say hire Kellen Moore?

    No, I'm saying you cannot use a candidates age as a determining factor unless it is a legitimate reason.  You not wanting an older coach is not a legitimate reason.  That candidate could sue your ass for discrimination based on that alone, and will win. Its a violation of federal law. I take it you've not been involved in hiring people or you would know this already.

    Never said he wasn't qualified my man.

     

    Im saying those are some of the main issues people have against him.

    If those "people" are that biased against hiring someone due to their age I presume they've never been in a position to hire folks, nor should they be.

    Ageism is one of the "isms" you are forbidden to use to judge a candidate.  It's no different than treating someone differently due to race, gender or a laundry list of other reasons.  Better get some unconscious bias training for yourself if you think like that.

    excuse me for calling bullshit on someone who says Shane s didnt interview well on zoom.  What the fug does that even mean?  If we cross him off the list because of a damn zoom call and not bring him down then tepper and fitt are even more moronic then I currently think.

    How can you say that without sitting in on the interview?
