SemperFeist Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 A great article in The Athletic about the Colts’ coaching search, and how, to that writer at least, the whole thing looks like a big performance. That the Colts are actually going to try and sell the fans on Jeff Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just heard Irsay on CBS Mornings about an hour ago talking about his collections of things (like Jerry Garcia's guitar and made a point about a historical document from AA). Maybe he's starting the PR campaign on a national level first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The Colts have interviewed 13 or 14 candidates for their HC position. My only theory is that Jim Irsay wants to hire Jeff Saturday, he’s tentatively decided to hire Jeff Saturday. But the football minds in the room are desperately trying to get him to change his mind.

If that Flores interview doesn't happen in Minny today, we can probably assume he's the lead for AZ HC gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be fine either way. I've sort of come around to Desai as my preferred candidate. While he has no relationship with anyone on the coaching staff outside of Rumph (who was his DL coach in Chicago) and Pettine, he probably would fit in rather well and would do a better overall job of instituting Fangio's 3-4 here than Donatell could. He certainly also knows the NFC North better than even KOC does now. Edited January 25, 2023 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because they are officially interviewing Pettine today. I personally like Pettine better as just the consultant, since he seems pretty knowledgeable. Obviously, his tenure as the Packers' DC tainted his reputation, but he certainly was never a bad DC before then.

While he wouldn't inspire many (that's probably an understatement), he's not a terrible option. His defenses in NY and Buffalo were both top 10.

SemperFeist Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Sounds like it’s going to be Frank Reich in Carolina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Do we have any 2nd interview requests yet besides Dan Quinn for the AZ HC job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
