The guys out there now aren't going to be that picky. Not to mention they might end up with a better candidate anyway. Hiring these guys is a crap shoot. They have more worry with Luck and his injury and really need to resolve something before the draft if they can. Unless I'm 100% sure Luck will be back I use my 1st round pick on one of the QBs to groom. Worst scenario is you can trade one of your QBs in a year or two. to get some value back Exactly. The guys left aren’t going to be picky because their shittier candidates though. Hell, I’ll take the job and don’t mind if my assistants are already hired. Nah, fuck the colts. There’s no way to spin any positives on this imo. If they get a great coach in the end, it’s just sheer luck and nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t a big deal in that they will just have to find a different coach and move on. But it’s almost unheard of for a coach to back out of getting a head coaching job.

abenjami Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I haven't read all 22 pages yet but I am wondering this. Perhaps the whole thing was planned by BB and McDaniels from the start. These guys probably don't like the Colts because of the rivalry during the Peyton Manning years. They also probably wouldn't want to see a top offensive mind going there to mentor Luck. So they devise a plan where McDaniels flirts with the Colts just long enough for them to miss out on hiring some of the other head coaching candidates. Then McDaniels backs out of a deal he was never going to sign in the first place. The two of them are probably sitting next to Ernie Adams laughing their asses off right now.

kyle021 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 How thankful are we that JR didn’t rest his laurels on waiting for McDaniels? He would have done the same to us. Im liking Vrabel more now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 LaFleur, Pees, Coombs, McKenzie are a great staff to have for Vrabel. This has had the potential to be Dinger/Schwartz all over again. A real OC and DC freakingeek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Robinson was the leaker in terms of Mularkey's job was still not safe......

I don't think it was planned but I also don't think it was lost on Kraft & BB who they'd be screwing when they were talking McDaniels into coming back. They hate the Colts over Deflategate.

MIKE75 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sage RosenfelsVerified account @SageRosenfels18 22h22 hours ago I wonder how many times in their franchise’s history the Colts have released a player who is under contract and who they had promised would make the team. Then didn’t. Then he had to uproot his family. Welcome to the life of one of your players @Colts. oldschool, TF_Titan, Thrill, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) The only way McDaniels isn't a snake of epic proportions here is if they lied to him about Luck and he found out. I can't think of a single other scenario where this makes sense and he doesn't look like trash. I was incredibly skeptical of bringing him here and the only reason I would have been ok with it is if that was Jrob's guy. Now that we know what we know, I for one am grateful Jrob went in another direction and I truly believe it would have been an epic failure had he come here. Stuff like that makes me think he hasn't changed a bit from his time in Denver no matter how many fluff pieces have been put out about him. He's been an absolute failure outside of Tom Brady too. Here's a clue, good QB's make good OCs, not the other way around. Edited February 8, 2018 by Justafan Mythos27, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 according to Albert Breer, McDaniels will be receiving a 5yr contract extension with the Patriots which was only offered on tuesday, that contract also includes a significant pay raise. that type of contract is almost unheard of for a coordinator.
