Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[Mark-DuCo]

Hopefully we get out offensive line together, otherwise we might as well have a tree stump for a coach.

I sincerely hope this was the correct choice/gamble for the Colts.

They are all a gamble, because it is a puzzle, and no one knows how the pieces fit…

Now the question I have is where does Saturday fall in all this? He's tight with Irsay so I would expect him to say around.

Head Coaches generally get to pick their own staff. I bet Saturday goes back to TV.

I think that could be a strange dynamic to have Saturday as OL coach with him being so tight with Irsay…

If I were head coach I wouldn't risk my OL coach reporting back to the owner. If it was true Saturday was placed to report inside info this puts him in a bad spot.

Lot of coaches from last season in the building today. The good ones anyway lol

Gus Bradley (DC)
Bubba Ventrone (ST)
Ron Milus (DB coach)

I sincerely hope this was the correct choice/gamble for the Colts.

I was gonna say it a little differently. I hope the gamble pays off. It's always a gamble anyway but some are even money and some are long shots. I don't know enough about this guy to say how long, but there are some coaches that are closer to even money. Probably Sean Payton fits into that category. But Payton is probably not a good fit in Indy anyway. He's not gonna get the control he wants.

That's a good question. I think the answer is that he really doesn't. That's not a knock on Saturday but just not seeing a place where he really fits. I would hope that it should be Steichen's call. If it's Irsay's call, is Steichen hired as a yes man?

Side note: listening to Irsay during a press conference is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

Jeff Saturday: It was an absolute blessing to be the Colts interim coach and I look fondly upon it

The Colts elected to hire Shane Steichen as their head coach, which means it's the end of the line for interim coach Jeff Saturday.

Shane Steichen will call plays, build Colts offense around QB

The Colts answered one big offseason question on Tuesday when they hired Shane Steichen as their new head coach and Steichen answered a couple of others during his introductory press conference.

Another coach from the 2020 Colts staff gets a head coaching job

Sirianni
Reich
Gannon
Eberflus

 

[Ingomike]

I would think the young coach will want a young QB to build with not a retread. That said, not sure Young has the size to run a Steichen offense. I also think a new young QB will bring in more money, everyone wants to be there when the next young QB takes off.

Steichen has worked with Philip Rivers (quick rhythm genius), Justin Herbert (howitzer arm), and Jalen Hurts (athletic).

I agree with you on Bryce Young. Kyler Murray is small but he’s way stockier and more athletic than Young.

I honestly think Steichen could get the best out of any of the other top QB’s.

Levis and Richardson would be the more athletic options.

Stroud and Young would be the more traditional pocket-passer type.

Hard not to think he’ll go for a more athletic quarterback given the success he had with Jalen Hurts.

Obviously NFL contracts are written in cotton candy, but that seems like a pretty significant deal
