The hires appear to be Ballard's hires, narrowed from a larger list based on Josh's input.So the Colts say they are keeping the guys they already hired but doesn’t a new head coach want to hire his own staff?
The next coach will have to work with them but I bet Ballard allows him to bring in some of his own guys. Someone like Jeff Fisher will get to hire 7-9 assistants.The guys hired are all Ballard's guys. The hires appear to be Ballard's hires, narrowed from a larger list based on Josh's input.
The next coach will have to agree to work with them.
Let's hope they get a doozy and keep the deflategate curse rolling on!
That's pretty much a sign that having Josh as a client is seen as bad for business around the NFL, he's toxic outside of New England now.
Ah sports agents....Just a tick above used car salesman and real estate agents.
The Colts are playing dumb and people are eating it up like candy.Breer on BST ripping McDaniels. He looks like he's gonna cry.

It’s good to know that the people of Indy didn’t take us seriously and no longer found the NEP organization relevant, prior to this morning.Ballard made a fool of himself at his presser today by saying the rivalry is back. The best part was the approval guffawing by the single-toothed, cretinous, inbred offspring media members who were present. " Yeah!!! We'll show 'em!!!". Sure you will...
No offense, but I've always kind of despised real estate agents, if only because I feel like they demand way too high a rate for the skill and work involved. And I guess I find it a bit ridiculous they drive around in 6 year old Range Rovers wearing a suit. I always thought the only easier way to wear a suit to work was to sell cell phones at the mall.I'm a real estate agent. What's your issue with me? I've never lied or cheated anyone and I have a code of ethics I follow. So why the **** would you compare me to this tool?

The Colts knew that Josh was a Patriots employee until the moment he resigned,
they should have known the the Patriots would push hard to protect their assets and retain Josh,
and they should have know Josh was having cold feet (PFT reported this, on Saturday IIRC).
Lots of coaches in all sports and at all levels have had last-second concerns and have backed out of deals.
Did I expect it? No. Should the Colts have considered that it was possible? Yes.
It was not even unethical. The Patriots made counter-proposals to retain their own employee, within 48 hours of when he was first legally allowed to make a binding decision. A Patriots employee chose the deal best for his future.
This need not be so complicated.
Good, because you seem to be making no argument whatsoever.
The assistants Indy hired all had very deep past connections with the Colts GM Chris Ballard, much moreso than they had connections with Josh McDaniels. It is certainly likely. even CERTAIN. that Josh told him ahead of time which people on Ballard's list he'd like to work with, once Josh was hired.
You don't know if Josh McDaniels talked to those hires or not, if he promised them anything or not, or rather if all negotiations were only with Ballard, who falsely assumed that he had a coach on board.
Respectfully, your stance that all blame ought to be laid directly on Josh is fact-deprived nonsense, as far as we know right now. As unlikely as it may be, though, indeed you could be right. But there are no facts to support it and you continue to provide no facts whatsoever to contradict my best guess as to what happened and why.
Not only that, but Josh McDaniels was calling assistants earlier today and offering them jobs. No more.
