The Return of the Chud

[PntherPryd]

No, this is not a Halloween Week re-run, it's really happening!

Last year the Colts did not want to lose Chud but did not want to replace their OC Hamilton.  So they gave him a new contract as "Associate" Head Coach and ignored/denied interview requests.  The theory was that they were worried about Hamilton getting a head coaching job and wanted Chud ready to go.

But now there are whispers that Chud is a leading candidate for the University of Miami job (which the colts can't block obviously) and the wheels could be turning.  When the Colts lose Monday night Irsay,  for his own ego's sake,  will can Pagano because it is Chud that he wants as the replacement and he does not want to risk losing him to a college job.

I have to be honest, I did not realize that Chud had landed here after the Browns fiasco.  And I don't know that I see his fingerprints on their offense.  But I'm sure there are some that still consider him a "genius".

hes good at writing play books and ...

 

 

....no... thats all.

Irsay wants Chud? Where did you see that?

[L-TownCat]

A focused non-interviewing HC Chud could be very dangerous.

If hes not auditioning for an escape he can put together some offense.

meh,  I made it up because I was bored.  No recent link.

But really just reading between the lines.  Why else give him a raise and the title of Associate Head Coach at the end of last season?  Not sure if it is Irsay or Grigson that is behind him but one of them is for sure

If he's smart he'll keep doing whatever it is he's doing with the Colts. It'll take a rare individual to turn around the Miami football program, with the lack of resources at that school, and I don't see Chud as that guy. He just doesn't have the personality for it.

Why has Miami fallen off so bad why cant they do like they used to in recruiting

Their biggest booster is rotting in prison, no more love boat, cash, etc for recruiting. He also attempted to take the program down, just ask Vince Wilfork and Jon Beason who refused to talk to him or help him once his Ponzi scheme was discovered.

but after re-reading that last one it could be that he is simply Pagano's man, which would totally undermine my thesis.

Eh, they just wanted him as a consultant. The title of asst head coach is meaningless.

I think Skipper carries that title with us. That doesn't mean he would be next in line behind Ron.

So...if Chud gets the job, we count Indy out for another couple of years.

They named him "Associate" head coach, not assistant.  big difference in both status and $$$.  

Also helps prevent teams from sniffing around for an OC.

Obviously they wanted him on their staff.

Still think he has no chance to be their next HC. Interim, perhaps.

Pagano wants Chud as OC, Grigson wants Pep, Irsay wants to know who stole his pills
