I haven't done a post like this in a while, where I just toss up an article that's a few sentences long, asking for feedback from your readers. Apologies.
Basically, in the comments, please list head coaching candidates you think the Colts should target. I have one off the top of my head: Dennis Allen, defensive coordinator of the Broncos.
Who are you candidates?

I posted something similar
but if I have my choice of legitimate coaches, I want Gruden. He brings the most to the table in terms of what the Colts need. Not to mention, the guy would literally do a somersault off the Circle tower to get his hands on Manning or Luck.
Look, there are lots of guys out there, but we need a proven guy. We don’t need people getting their first shot at a HC job. We don’t need guys who are going to check with their mommies if its okay to bench someone.
Jay or John?
I know you mean John, but Jay has gotten quite a bit of hype as an up and comer for open jobs. All I know is the little bit of what he did with the rookie red head this year which was impressive.

Jon Gruden
However Jay did quite well in Bengaldom. I just think at this point we really need a proven guy at HC.

agreed
and definitely not Dennis Allen, that was pitiful against the Pats didn ‘t expect Denver to win but pats could have scored 70 if they want Jon Gruden would love to coach a really good QB , since he never has and has a man crush on Peyton and sure he would have one on LUCK Grigson said we need a leader and he is a leader , I’d take Jay also

Don't undertand the love
For Jon Gruden. I posted a response in another recent thread about him. He’s got a rep about being this great offensive mind and developer of QBs but he just isn’t.
Name me one QB that he has developed? His best QBs were Rich Gannon and Brad Johnson, and they were both long time journeyman QBs by the time he got them.
Other than that, he doesn’t seem to inspire love or loyalty from his players. Just search around the web and you’ll find a lot of negative info about from former players. And he just seems like a blowhard phony.
No sir…..I don’t like it.
by Guy LeDouche on Jan 18, 2012 11:35 AM EST up reply actions
Yep journeymen
He took Rich Gannon and turned him into a league MVP, and Gannon would put up the best stats of his career.
Brad Johnson – Put up 2 of his 3 best years under Gruden. Would also win a SB despite injuries to his back keeping him out of 3 games that season.
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 11:40 AM EST up reply actions
Who else?
I can’t disagree on those two, but they had plenty of experience before they worked with Gruden.
What I don’t like is his track record with any of the young QBs he’s ever had. It’s not good at all. Is that someone you want to coach up Luck (or whomever) to start his career?

Wade Phillips
Why not? He had a good defense in Dallas, ran a great one in Houston and obviously has a knack for it.
The biggest thing is his past record with undisciplined players, but thats going to be much less of an issue with the Colts. I think we need to build a respectable defense for either Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning. Neither will be able to carry the team in the short term.
Also, we would be taking away Houston’s greatest strength as they played considerably worse when Wade Phillips was out with surgery.
One stone, two results.

Wade Phillips...
screams Ted Marchibroda Part Deux to me. No thanks.
There we go!
Let’s hire Ted. That would be awesomely bad! Lindy could be his OC and we could bring on the Majik Man as the QB coach.
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 10:52 AM EST up reply actions
Considering that Marchibroda coached the Colts twice already....
Wouldn’t that be Part Three?
Simple
He’s a great coordinator but a lousy coach. His teams in Dallas and Buffalo routinely underachieved. Yes, they had quality defenses, but he almost always looked like a deer in headlights…

you could say that
but dallas did no better this year with a different coach. i think the root of the problem in dallas is there assessment that talent > anything else.
But i’m just throwing a name out there. Just trying to be different.

True
but you also cant judge based on just one year. You have tons of years to look at Phillips, while Garret is in year one of retooling a mess he didnt make.

Garrett?
He’s been the OC for 4 years… he did help make that mess that is their offense.

I’m just throwing a name out there… like i said, not that i’m sold on him or anybody at this point. there are alot of negatives to any coaching candidate.
by coltsfanbeforemanning on Jan 18, 2012 10:57 AM EST up reply actions
3 strikes and your out
He’s been coach in 3 places never having great success, certainly not repeated success, similar to Norv Turner. Wade has always been a terrific fire-plug as a coordinator, Hou simply the latest example, but I’d get a stomach cramp if Mr. Laid Back Awww Shcukness got the job.
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 10:51 AM EST up reply actions
Don't make a mistake here....
Yeah, the Colts are good citizens in general, but Phillips has a history of laxness where players are concerned. Don’t think there aren’t a few Colts who would take advantage of that. Last I checked, those guys are human, and it’s human nature to take any leeway they can get away with. I wouldn’t want the face of a classy team sullied because of lack of discipline.
Spags is in my top 5
From previous articles, it sounds like Spags has moved on from being DC here, so why not offering the head job? I’d be game.
It seems like most in the national and even local media have speculated we’ll go after an offensive guy. With Peyton that makes zero sense to me. Without Peyton, I could understand it more, but don’t understand why Indy wouldn’t go after D given that’s the long-time deficiency and the hope from nearly all of the fanbase that we move past the archaic, middling cover-2.
I think Spag’s is a good coach, and after a year or two as say DC of NO, will probably get another head job offer, why not out-right offer him here. I loved what he did on D with NYG, but maybe I’m reading too much into that due to the superior DL personnel. He improved StL’s D in year 2.
I have no insider view of what went on in StL. Was there bad stuff that went on locker-room wise this year? From afar, it mostly just seemed like a bunch of injuries including the centerpiece Bradford. I give him the benefit of the doubt on dropping to a 2-14 season over Caldwell for the same, because Caldwell proved time and again he was completely clueless when it came to time and game mgmt, the former being one of the simplest yet crucial parts of being a head coach.
Actually
Going with an offensive guy as the HC makes sense.
1.) Manning has 4-6 years left if he’s healthy. Look what Sean Payton has done for Drew Brees. Look what Charlie Weis and Josh McDaniels did for Brady. Adding a guy who is crafty and capable of dialing up MORE firepower choices or showing Manning something from a different view is a great idea.
2.) Whomever is Mannings backup or eventual replacement would be groomed in the same offense as well as given a lot of work moving forward. Look at how the dropoff from Manning to Sorgi/Painter/etc was so significant…it wasnt just because of talent…..
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 10:54 AM EST up reply actions
I suppose
I guess in my brain, if Manning is here, the offense shouldn’t be touched. If anything, hire back Tom Moore as OC and keep doing what he’s been doing.
If we are starting with Luck now, I’d be more on board with hiring an offensive guru that D as the HC.
Bottomline, let’s find and hire the next Mike Tomlin. I think most would be on board with that. I know, easy.
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 10:57 AM EST up reply actions
Here's a wild hare...
Would you give up next year’s first rounder for Jim Harbaugh? I think I would.
What are you doing on this board?
You know, that thought has indeed crossed my mind, IFF, a healthy (i.e. at least 90% of MYP-form) Peyton Manning is coming back, since I think Indy would win 9 to 11 in what should still be a relatively week division. Bringing Manning back means Reggie and Dallas are back. Mathis being re-signed is such a no-brainer to me, I’m assuming it already happened. Also assumes Freeney is extended 3 more years.
So let’s assume all of that, then yea, trade next year’s first to get Jimmy H. Would LOVE it. I could see Frisco doing it if it had been a rd 1 exit, but not now. If he wins this weekend there’s no chance they’d do it for “just” a first rounder.
What did Tampa trade to get Gruden. Wasn’t it something insane like 2 first rounders, but it’s rarely talked about as bad deal since he “delivered” a SB vic the next seas?
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 11:03 AM EST up reply actions
Got tired of complaining about Purdue football...
now here to complain about Colts football.
Actually the trade was crazy – two firsts and two seconds. We aren’t getting Harbaugh, but it’s fun to think about.
Possible
However, I think Moore’s offensive choices have become so repetitive that there is no real mixing it up. His offense works great, but it’s not Marvin Harrison and Wayne anymore. It’s time for a new look, as well as having someone who’s younger to groom the QB of tomorrow.
I’m looking at it more from evolving the offense not changing it.
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 11:09 AM EST up reply actions
4-6 yrs. left!!! i'm sorry, but come on, really??
jim mora jr.?- i always wanted to see what he could do with talent other than the HC killer, mike vick. he was not given a fair shot in seattle.
It's not far off
The only thing that’s still a question mark is his throwing arm. If that’s healthy, then the neck fusion is an after thought. He took more hits in 2010 than he had taken in like the 3 years prior combined… and not since his rookie year had he taken that kind of abuse. You can guarantee the new regime wont allow that to happen to him.
Also, Manning has been in great shape his whole career. He doesn’t have the nagging knee, elbow, or concussion injuries that derailed guys like Favre, Marino, or Young.
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 11:12 AM EST up reply actions
everything you just said makes total sense, but no one can outrun father time, not even our savoir Peyton “Jesus Christ” Manning.
So very true
but in this case, it’s not a question of age but of health. If you look at every guy who retired at an old age, it was generally injuries that would derail them. The few exceptions were guys who went out on top or almost on top and said enough is enough. Warner was still a great QB when he retired. Favre meanwhile was beat to crap…
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 11:41 AM EST up reply actions
Mora jr?
No way – it wasn’t just Mike Vick that got that knucklehead fired. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Well, if this article doesn't convince you...
There was the radio interview incident, the cell phone incident… there are numbers of examples of Mora jr’s ineptitude.
thanks for the reading material
interesting article. i’m not saying i want mora as our next coach. i just think they should take a look at the guy. the article was also written from the standpoint of a college fan speaking of college systems and how he doesn’t fit. i’m not gonna argue with anything in the article but it doesn’t exactly paint the picture of him being a knucklehead. it was interesting to see his pro record. i thought he had a few winning seasons, i guess not. i have to admit it does raise an eyebrow or two that he got tossed for that clown pete carroll.
i like spags
but it concerns me that his team clearly quit in the last half of the season. The Colts will be lucky to have back to back 8-8 seasons (without manning), and it will be important for the players to keep fighting.
He is a defensive guru for sure though.

I mentioned him in another thread...
I think he’d be ideal for the mess at the moment. I just doubt he’d want to be that far from his NC home.
Because he wants all the power

Rob Chudzinski, OC Panthers
One of my favourites, a great offensive mind who has experience developing young quarterbacks (Cam Newton) and would like to have another shot at HC. The Panthers had a top 10 offense this year with him

No nothing about the guy...
…except what he did with Cam and have seen him on a few national speculative lists. Would be interested in learning more.
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 11:04 AM EST up reply actions
I posted the same thing over on one of the fanposts
This guy has a great track record. He was on staff at Univerisity of Miami under Butch Davis where they won a national championship. He went to the Cleveland Browns and took over as OC when Davis was fired. Cleveland ended up with 10 wins (and would have made the playoffs if Dungy had not rested our players against the Titans). They had four pro bowlers on that team (Derek Anderson at QB, Braylon Edwards, Joe Thomas, and Winslow). He was then with the Chargers as a tight end coach and developed Antonio Gates. In his first year as an OC with the Panthers, he had them in the top ten in offense.
nice background info
i was wondering where he came from

I'm in the Chudzinski camp too
I think he would be a great, especially if the Colts draft Luck

Big Blue Dawg
You want the guy
who chose to kick instead of receive in sudden death OT? No THANKS!
by DevilsReject on Jan 18, 2012 11:56 AM EST up reply actions
Yes.
He might actually be worse at in-game decisions than Caldwell. As an OC he’d be fine. But not HC. No. Never. No.
He's not the only one.
Ray Perkins did that in Tampa many moons ago. At the time, I thought it was the most idiotic decision I had ever seen. I didn’t realize someone else did it too. Yes, I think a decision like that pretty much speaks for itself.
Shifting gears
Would you prefer an offensive-minded coach, or a defensive guy?

probably defensive minded
but mainly just a good coach and a good leader of men, no more puppets

Whichever will allow us to change defensive scheme
Whether that’s hiring a great DC or defensive head coach, I don’t care.
by JHetfield99 on Jan 18, 2012 11:57 AM EST up reply actions
Either is fine
But IMO if you get an offensive guy, you need a strong and established DC. Like a Spagnuolo. If you get a defensive guy like Mike Zimmer, get a strong and creative OC. But not one stuck on his own system like Martz or Cameron.
I actually wonder if Russ Grimm would be a good option.
doesn't matter

This guy for head coach
I like his resume, he has worked under several good coaches, even once as assistant head coach with the Chargers. His name is Rob Chudzinski.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Chudzinski
ESPN’s John Clayton expects Colts GM Ryan Grigson to hire an offensive mind as the next head coach.
Clayton’s colleague, Chris Mortensen, strongly believes Jim Caldwell would still be the coach had Grigson convinced Steve Spagnuolo to accept the defensive coordinator position in Monday’s interview. Clayton suggests Eagles OC Marty Mornhinweg, Broncos OC Mike McCoy, and even Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman as potential successors to Caldwell. Grigson maintains Peyton Manning’s future will be decided at a later date, after the condition of his surgically repaired neck is more clear.
Personally, the guy I think might have a good shot is Panthers’ OC Rob Chudzinski. I am sure someone has mentioned him. If he is hired, I expect a lot of TE usage in our system.
Of course, Brian Billick fits the mold – OC for Vikings from 1995-98 (including rookie year for Randy Moss), has been head coach for veteran players too, IMO but not sure if Billick wants to get out of his cushy NFL Network job right now.
I could handle Billick. Always liked him
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
IF that is the case then THANK YOU
Spagnuolo ,, the puppet is gone

For offensive minded
I like Brian Billick a lot. I would take either Gruden or Chudzinski.
For defensive minded I like Mike Zimmer and I would also welcome Spags for the HC job. Perry Fewell as well.
He's still terrible with in-game decisions
which outweighs his offensive smarts. He’s just one of those guys that is better off as a coordinator.
Sorry for posting again
But as a HC, Brad Childress went from 6, to 8, to 10, to 12 wins. Then he gets fired after a bad 3-7 start. Good offensive mind.
Some potential candidates
In my mind the coaching candidates can be classified into 3 broad categories:
1. Veteran NFL coaches
2. NFL Coordinator/ Assistant with some or none HC experience
3. Collegiate HC coach
1. Veteran NFL coach like Bellichick, Coughlin, Reid, Fisher, Shanahan etc. Most of the coaches who fit this category are presently retired/semi-retired from coaching and are in media: Dungy, Cowher. Gruden, Billick. Most of the active coaches are on other teams. Only Wade Philips, Don Capers and Dick Lebeau come to mind who are presently not in head coaching positions.
2. Coordinator/ Assistants who get hired as HC like Mike Tomlin, Mike McCarty, Sean Payton, John Harbaugh. Rex Ryan, Mike Smith. Jim Schwartz who turned around or took their franchises to high level. Some may argue that not all coordinators are as successful and give examples of Steve Spagnuolo, Todd Haley, Hue Jackson and Sparano as examples. But even these discarded coaches are well respected coordinators or assistants.
3. Collegiate HC transition like Jim Harbaugh. But for every successful Jim Harbaugh who could make a stellar transition from College Football to NFL there are 3 Nick Sabans, Bobby Petrinos and Steve Spurriers who could not.
Based on the current track record of coaches, I would incline myself to go with Category 2. Hire a Coordinator/ Assistant with some or no HC experience. Just because a coordinator was not a great HC during his first job should not preclude them (Bellichick and Coughlin are examples of that). With that in mind here are some of the potential candidates for HC/OC/DC:
Pete Carmichael Jr
(OC NO Saints)
Vic Fangio
(DC SF 49ers)
Kevin Gilbride
(OC NY Giants)
Joe Philbin
(OC GB Packers)
Scott Linehan
(OC DET Lions)
Chuck Pagano
(DC BAL Ravens)
Cam Cameron
(OC BAL Ravens)
Bruce Arians
(OC PIT Steelers)
Hue Jackson
Rikc Dennison
(OC HOU Texans)
Marty Monrnhinweg
(OC PHI Eagles)
Mike Zimmer
(DC CIN Bengals)
And out of job coaches:
Steve Spagnuolo
Todd Haley
Hue Jackson.
For the record
I tweeted you (Brad) early in the 2011 season, asking you what you thought about Mike Zimmer as the new HC. You responded with “LOL”. We’ll see.

Mike Zimmer FTW
Eff what BBS thinks. Zimmer is as high a character guy as you’re gonna find, with one of the best defensive minds of his generation.
Zimmer is the only guy I’m interested in seeing coach the Colts in 2012.

I like BBS's pick of Allen
And a defensive focused coach would be better than offensive. Less exciting, maybe, but better.
why?
brian billick was offensive guy and rode baltimores defesne to the title. jim harbaugh was thought of as a offense guy, but the defense in sf is excellent. bill bilichick’s offense in ne is great, and his defense sucks. good head coaches hire good coordinators. as jimmy johnson claimed..head coaches delegate much more than people think.

Agreed (mostly)
Bullit is a beast, coverage aint so great but def speed and a hard hitter. He subed for Bob well. Wheeler i thought was a beast, again not a great coverage guy but not horrible.

I agree about Addai.
I used to like him a lot, but after seeing a real difference maker like Sproles, my thoughts have changed. Sproles and Jones-Drew are the types of back we need.

and i think carter can be that kindof back. Hes a power runner

Im not sold that Brown and Carter can do it...
I would like I see LaMichael James drafted in round three and be our Sproles. Then you can start Brown and give Carter carries also with James as the 3rd down back
As for Wheeler he sucks. Plays hard but sucks. Bullitt isn’t a starter and has a chronic shoulder issue. Not good for a SS.
They could get several good players in a deep draft. Id love to see Robert Lester drafted to play FS and Bethea moved to SS. Love to see Broyles come into play slot WR.
We need 4-5 explosive guys! Not everyone is a pro bowl pick of course. But this is the time to go Al Davis an get 4.3 speed guys along with big physical players which can be found late in the draft

Tressel
I don’t know who hired him…but if it was Irsay… I think he is the one. Look he is a good coach, has experience dealing with nfl type players. Every coach has question marks….TresselI too. The only question in my opinion is can TresselI motivate and will players respect him….that may be the reason why they do or don’t hire him…. Cause again in regard to coaching…TresselI really hasn’t shown any negatives. If he can get players motivated to play for him…he may be a the guy. Another big positive is he doesn’t seem the type who has to have or desires to have complete control ( like gruden cower or other big names) he seems more a team player which Irsay may find desirable especially if Irsay wants to exert some influence into the direction this team goes.
Marc Trestman, maybe a long shot, but mentioned by John Clayton and Indy Star
He has a long impressive bio. Successful in both NCAA with the Bernie Kosar Miami Hurricaines and NFL. Has worked with multiple successful NFL QBs (Steve Young, Jake Plummer, Kosar, etc.)
I haven't heard enough talk about Brian Billick
I’ve heard him say he’d like to work with Manning before. Maybe he could turn Luck and the Colts into a perennial offensive powerhous again. Throw in Spagnuolo at DC and we’re talking Championships.
Brian Billick is my favorite ‘possible’ candidate right now. None of the others are nearly as appealing in my opinion.

Plot Twist?
I think Sandusky was misunderstood, and we should prolly make an effort to get him.
Mike Zimmer
Call him “Snickers,” because nothing else will satisfy.
