I really dont want to roll the dice again on a HC like we did with Ron.  I'd like an established coach.  Someone thats been in the poo so to speak and wont go through their first few seasons like deer caught in headlights.

 

Isn't this the logic of not hiring Chip Kelly, and other better candidates?

 

When are we going to learn ANY Head Coach is better than Ron Rivera!!

It's actually the exact opposite.  Chip Kelly WAS a HC, and therefore not gambling on a coordinator learning to be a HC which is what I think he was saying.  I'm of the same opinion.  No never-been-HC-before guys, in my opinion.

Here's a thought to blow your mind...

 

Know who'd a potential OC candidate if Hamilton were hired here?

 

How about Colts Special Assistant to the Head Coach, and former Panthers Offensive Coordinator, Rob Chudzinski? :blink:

 

Count me in as intrigued.  Hopefully they would bring back the two-TE offense that Cam had a lot of success with his rookie season.

No thanks to Hamilton. Having Luck with him has really made him look better than he is (same thing for Gase with Peyton).

So should we be looking for someone who hasn't done well instead? The point is that these guys arguably know how to utilize the strengths of their players.

From the Freeman article...

 

While some Colts fans have had a complex relationship with Hamilton, what I can tell you is that within the sport overall, among coaches and executives, there is nothing but extreme respect for him. The main reason, I'm told, is how well he's brought along Luck—slowly, deliberately, patiently. Hamilton relied on the running game (maybe too much so last season) initially as a way of protecting his QB, then as the signal-caller grew exponentially, allowed Luck to be Luck.

I'd rather have someone who has had success in different places in the NFL (I really don't think JR would hire a college coach), and not just with a QB he helped prepare for the NFL (and a guy who is going to be one of the best).

Guys like Harbaugh, Seely, Shanahan (Kyle, not Mile), and hell, possibly even Rex.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
