Steichen Eagles OC

[Chromeburn]

Rumors on NFL radio it’s Steichen and they will announce next week. He will keep Bubba and Gus as assistants and will build his own offensive staff.

Makes sense that he would retain Bradley since they worked together several years on the Chargers staff.

And of course, some national media (using that term loosely because it is LaCanfora after all) thought that the Colts already hired Steichen several years ago

I hope that's true. Keeping the defense and special teams units intact is a big deal.

Not my first choice for head coach, but definitely better than Saturday. Retaining Gus Bradley as DC makes it an A+ move IMO. Now to hope Steichen can put together an offensive staff that can develop a rookie QB into a franchise QB, and hopefully more of a pocket passer than a hybrid QB/RB. Please no Greg Roman style offense in Indy.

Why not? Who was your first choice and why?

Based on knowing nothing about them but the results they've gotten for their own teams, my choices in order would've been Ben Johnson, DeMeco Ryans, and Brian Callahan. Steichen's fine, especially if Ballard's team liked him best.

I am reading where Ballard will make the call. If true this alleviates a ton of fear I have.

So you are excited for Matt Pryor to be named the next Indianapolis Colts Head Coach?

To me when evaluating the accomplishments. He helped make Herbert into what he is. I like Steichen simply for what he did with Hurts. Everybody thought Hurts was a gasket player at best and they turned him into a franchise QB. I always read that Hurts was a great person with high character. Everyone loves him wherever he went, but they just couldn’t get him molded right. But the Eagles did it. Burrow was a more finished product. But that is just one aspect I’m looking at. Not sure how they interviews or what they had in plan.

I do imagine that Steinchen might align more with the Colts build strategy since the Eagles also emphasize strong line play. So a drastic overal wouldn’t be necessary, just he would be brought to help mold the QB of the future and get that final piece settled.
