Steichen Eagles OC
 

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 :D

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?

I think he is thinking the opposite. He probably doesn’t think Ballard will hire an offensive lineman as coach, but Irsay would.
