I know the article said that and I don't doubt that some of are that opinion however I think the fact we seem to be hand picking execs and coaches for interview at will from around the NFL holds more weight.

G08 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 @Madmike90I just don't like Eberflus' propensity for Cover-2 and how it cost them a big win against Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see more in Eberflus as a culture guy and a teacher...he has done an excellent job of developing mid-late round picks into really good players...his desire to play Cover 2 a lot is a concern but I think he is smart enough to look around the league at guys like Dan Quinn and see you need to be more multiple...I just like the idea of having a really intense high energy HC who will hold everyone to a high standard and force people to take accountability.

Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Really interesting stuff from Stephen Holder who is a beat writer for the Colts who was on Hoge & Jahns podcast to discuss Ed Dodds, Morocco Brown & Matt Eberflus... Says Dodds and Chris Ballard have very similar personalities and philosophies...both tough & fiery guys who welcome collaboration...he did question if Dodds really wanted to be a GM because at his core he is a scout and still wants to be out on the road...my guess is that's the reason he withdrew from the Panthers & Lions search last year...if the ownership are not going to allow him to run things exactly how he wants he won't take the job and I guess he maybe wants someone to do some of the other duties of a GM to allow him to be on the road more. Says Brown is very highly regarded by not only Ballard but former Bears GM Jerry Angelo...Angelo says he is the type of evaluator who won't just tick the sheet to say a guy moves well but will be able to look at how he projects in 3 or 4 years time...how he would be used specifically with that franchise...Holder explains Braden Smith was the best example of this...played G at Auburn and Ballard didn't want to draft another guard after Nelson...Brown said he was a RT in the pros...Ballard disagreed and said there was no way he could play on the outside but Brown convinced him and now he has signed a $70+ million extension and is one of the best RTs in the game...says when Brown was up for the Falcons GM job last year both Ballard & Angelo called the Falcons to recommend him...the way is sounded all three on the pod cast seemed to think he could have a really good chance at the job...Holder also wrote a full article about him... https://theathletic.com/2537775/2021/04/27/colts-morocco-brown-is-looking-for-nfl-draft-gems-from-polar-bears-to-unicorns?source=user-shared-article Holder says Eberflus is a guy who will remind us all of Lovie Smith & his mentor Rod Marinelli...very similar teacher and will develop guys...uses the LOAF system to grade effort and hustle amongst players...holds everyone from stars to UDFA rookies to the same standard...is left almost completely along by Frank Reich to run the D...Hoge also asked him about the defensive system and Holder explained that Eberflus gets pretty offended at the idea that his defence is in a Cover 2 box...Holder confirmed that the Colts actually played more man coverage than zone this past season and were a lot more aggressive in their coverages...said that the defence is taught to gang tackle and attack the ball...exactly like Lovie & Rod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 1h Busy 24 hours for the Bills: OC Brian Daboll and DC Leslie Frazier are scheduled to interview with for the Bears and Dolphins HC jobs Sunday, per sources. Bears also expected to interview Bills’ assistant GM Joe Schoen for their GM job Sunday. Game today, interviews Sunday. Schoen in the mix come Sunday...my #2 GM candidate...would love the combo with Daboll @JAF-N72EX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Really good write up on Ed Dodds as well...this is the article that made me think he would be an excellent fit here to change how things are ran here... https://theathletic.com/1105033/2019/07/31/you-gotta-be-relentless-you-cant-stop-i-dont-colts-assistant-gm-ed-dodds-wont-settle-for-mediocrity?source=user-shared-article 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Albert Breer @AlbertBreer · 20m The Dolphins brass is traveling to Buffalo to do in-person interviews tomorrow with Bills coordinators Brian Daboll and Leslie Frazier, I’m told. The Bears’ interviews with those two, and Joe Schoen (for the GM job) will be done virtually. Interesting that Miami and Jacksonville are doing face to face interviews where as everyone else seem to be doing round 1 virtually...wonder if that will make any difference in how coaches view these openings.

blkwdw13 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Daboll was the guy I wanted to start the season and I think he is still my number one guy, as for GM i don't know. I just want who ever is choosen to work out finally and get the best results that they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Mark Berman @MarkBermanFox26 · 11m NFL source: #Texans interviewed Hines Ward today as they continued their search for their next head coach. Sarah Barshop @sarahbarshop · 11m The Texans interviewed Chargers OC Joe Lombardi for their head coach opening today. Those two interviews would suggest to me they already know who they want at HC...wouldn't shock me at all if Flores is off the market soon.

Too me if you are interviewing Hines Ward you must already know who you are going to offer the job to...Flores makes a ton of sense down there and due to the GM being in place they could offer him the job right away.

Madmike90 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Guys like Pederson & Caldwell aren't getting this HC job...but what if we are being a little smarter about it than usual and interviewing these guys as potential OCs incase we want to bring in a defensive guy as a HC?... Give me something like... GM Dodds/Brown HC Eberflus OC Caldwell Colts lite wouldn't be my first choice but would give you some experience on the coaching staff from day one and get you one of the top GM/HC combination.
