Ozzy Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 30 minutes ago, battle2heaven said: Ozzy, your scenario is not happening. Let’s move on, you’ve stated this like 20x already. Lou Anarumo possibly could be the Cardinals HC, but if not Evero should be the top candidate for the Colts and Flores the top for the Cardinals as a potential head coach. I recall last year I brought up Flores and Desai and no one liked them at all, now all of a sudden individuals around here like them? Surprise, surprise. Desai is out and would not be shocked if Evero and Flores are as well, then again this is the NFL and black head coaches are rarely hired so in that regard, yes it will never happen.

vike daddy Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Ben Solak of the Ringer reported Friday that Irsay is "leaning toward" hiring Saturday and that is the "expected outcome." Solak also wrote that the Colts' extensive coaching search has been, in part, a way for Irsay to say he did his due diligence prior to hiring Saturday, if that's indeed his final decision. Irsay faced quite a bit of criticism for naming Saturday, who played 13 seasons as the Colts center but had never previously coached in the NFL or college football, as the team's interim coach. Solak did note that Irsay could still change his mind. One candidate who seems like he has a shot to do just that is Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen. Steichen is interviewing with the Colts on Saturday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/jim-irsay-colts-reportedly-leaning-toward-hiring-1-candidate-for-head-coach?fbclid=IwAR3asroPMQon0_7viepqAKbaSB2gSxm0RnIihJd7ul74yVx6d3upxXTK8iQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You can say that they should be all you want and until you are blue in the face. But none of the reporting suggests that they will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Callahan should be the choice in Indianapolis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 On Evero’s watch in 2022, Denver ranked ninth in the NFL per defensive EPA/Play in 2022 and 10th via DVOA. If the name sounds familiar for NFC purposes, Evero was the Green Bay Packers defensive quality control coach in 2016. If Klis is correct, the Vikings pursuit of a defensive coordinator should be nearing the finish line. https://vikingsterritory.com/2023/top_news/1-man-for-vikings?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 1 hour ago, SemperFeist said: Flores is actually younger than Evero, by about 6 weeks. And, I think you’d need to have a successor in place for Flores just as much as you’d need one for Evero. And it may be even more difficult to have that plan in place if you hire Flores compared to Evero. Really. I’m clearly confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it works out Should be the approach. Doesn’t seem other teams are in a hurry either. Which is good. I’ve always preferred for all the coach movement to just happen after the Super Bowl anyway, unless you’re a free agent coach. Maybe allow virtual conversations just to get the ball rolling and gets feelers, but in person interviews while prepping for playoffs, never been a fan.

SemperFeist Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If the Vikings do wind up hiring Evero, can we expect any other changes to the defensive coach staff? If they hire Flores, I would think that changes are almost certain. But Evero comes from the Fangio tree, like Donatell. So, much of the frame work may already be in place.
