NFL coaching and executives carousel: news and speculation

McDaniels to Colts is now really, really super duper close to happening

I’m just glad Josh took Googs before we did, in case of Scar retiring.

Googs is respected but surprisingly always available.

More former Patriots in coaching news.

Interestingly, Jerod Mayo just had a non-flattering anecdote about playing alongside TM at one point in his career on the Quickslants Podcast.

Mayo was talking about how well some players digest information in real time and understand how a play unfolded and can use that information to make adjustments. TM's retelling of how he was blocked on one bad play was not in touch with reality so the vets were sorta

Josh (or the Colts brass) has made an interesting choice for O-Line coach, to say the least....

I mean the OL did a good job in 2014 under him, it's not the worst choice ever.

Nice

MacDaniels change of heart also turned into a nut shot to the Eagles.

Well played

Frank Reich agrees to become next Colts head coach

It will be interesting to see whom big-head Dougie hires to replace both Reich and DeFilippo, the latter of whom many people in Philly have credited (ahead of Reich & especially Dougie) of turning both Foles & Wentz into bonafide NFL QBs.

Reich is 56 -- not exactly a spring chicken.

The Colts may have been talking to Darrell Bevell for weeks, but they may be hiring someone else to serve as the team’s new offensive coordinator.

Albert Breer of SI.com reports that the Colts and new coach Frank Reich promptly requested permission to interview Chargers receivers coach Nick Sirianni to join Reich as offensive coordinator, and that the Chargers have granted the request.

Breer characterizes Sirianni as the “top candidate” for the job, Bevell’s availability notwithstanding. Reich and Sirianni worked together during Reich’s tenure with the Chargers.

So, it looks as if we're looking at either Bevell or Sirianni for the OC position in Indianapolis. Other than a few subordinate positions, that should do it for the carousel.

Considering I remember when he throttled Miami a week or so before Flutie beat them that makes me old too.

Huh, I thought he was in his 50s when he was a back up in Buffalo.

Josh, now that things have changed....

If you’re the successor.. don’t you dare.

Good luck Ray.
