Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

I have no idea what I'd do if I was Ballard. Other than pick a QB. I'm not feeling the top ones are worth trading a lot for. If they feel the same way they might just stay at 4 and see what they get. Particularly if they think Levis makes it more of a top 3 than top 2.
I'd be interested in Carr if we hadn't just gone through so many years of revolving quarterback scrap heap acquisitions. I don't think I can stomach another one.

I hope the Colts don't give up assets to trade up. The top QB's are so close. not worth it, there's no Manning's or Luck's in this draft. I'd stay at 4 and probably take the guy from KY, looking at the mock drafts."Just look at the flowers ........ BANG" - Carol "The Walking Dead"Comment

Hoop, I'm with you. Hold tight at 4. Nobody worth giving up the farm for. If all 3 QBs go, then take the stud edge rusher or DL and look for another in the 2nd or 3rd. Or just declare Sam the starter and give him a full camp. Nobody will really like that AT all, and I certainly don't see that as the answer any more than bringing in a vet with too much mileage. It would be one heck of a surprise. But they do have to have a contingency if they sit tight at 4 and that might be Sam.
The coaching search is interesting. I don't have a problem with Saturday being given a fair shot at it, even with a 2nd round interview. He earned that by stepping into a really bad situation. But I definitely like others we've talked to better. And I really hope we get Ryans back in the interview process after he had to cancel.

I'm of the mind that I'd be very curious to see what it is about Jeff Saturday that would make him a coaching frontrunner (if he really is). I'd also like to say I think it's crazy Saturday should be anywhere on the list... He should only rank an interview out of courtesy due to the mistake of hiring him as the interim coach in the first place.
Part of me wants to say the Colts aren't in any position to play games like this with something as important as head coach. The other part of me thinks... "Yes they are- The Manning to Luck debacle has finally reached its conclusion (read: bottom) and the Colts are a bottom feeding team and not one player or coach away from a turnaround."
If they want to waste a couple of years on a gamble like Saturday, figuring it's low risk and high reward at this point... while stocking up draft picks... maybe that is for the best. And save the REAL coaching hire for when there's actually a team that needs a solid sideline gameplan and management.
And if it turns out Saturday CAN learn to coach, even better.
But truthfully, there HAS to be better candidates than Jeff Saturday. I suppose if we ignore Saturday's interim debacle, then the slate is clean for him and the ceiling unknown. But I'm not sure anyone should really ignore that nor his lack of credentials as a coach in the NFL.

If Saturday would have had us float around .500......or if we would have shown improvement SOMEWHERE.....then I'd be for giving him a serious interview. But his interim tenure was about as bad as it could possibly be (aside from the high pick which is certainly nice).
If Saturday had made the uncomfortable (but correct) decision of benching Ryan for Ehlinger after Philly...or after Pitt....or after Dallas....then I'd be a little more open to giving him a more serious look (though in no world would he be a front runner). The Philly game was obviously completely winnable. The offense of course totally blew it. THAT was the moment that any prayer at the playoffs died. That was the moment where Ryan should have been completely done for the year.Comment

I'm hoping all of this "Jeff Saturday is a legitimate contender for the HCing gig, and the likely frontrunner" talk is a smokescreen to not disparage Saturday... A sort of 'Nah.... the terrible job he did this year wasn't his fault and not a huge mistake on us to even hire him! It was the circumstance... we're still really serious about hiring him!"
"Sir, Jeff Saturday is on the line..."
"Tell him I'm not here!! I can't wait until we hire someone and can end this charade with Jeff and the media that we'd actually consider him after this past season!"Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
