Waiting for all the TATE hot takes on a guy they never heard of a couple of days ago...

I'll admit I know zero about this guy. But hey he isn't McDaniels! Feel sorta bad for Duce. 

I wonder who Howie gets as his defensive coordinator? 

I kinda liked McDaniels but willing to give this guy a shot.  He’s starting from just about rock bottom so

WTF..who is that? I mean this is the best that we could do? After 2 weeks of searching? This is pathetic. Here comes losing for another 4 years before we get a new head coach. Lurie sucks, Howie sucks. I don't know why i even support this team.

At the same time you have to remember that Andy was a QB coach and he was on nobody's radar. Nobody was on board with him being chosen.  Andy had his flaws that drove me crazy, but he is made it as a HC. Same with Doug. Doug wasn't on anyone's list of candidates.

I don’t hate. Definitely curious to see what he can do. Thrilled it’s not a Reid tree hire. 

Ditto on all (especially the latter).  Also super curious to see who he fills out his staff with. 

I like it, young, comes from a creative offense that runs the ball, low turnover and sack numbers.

I feel like the same could have been said about Pederson. No?

That’s what everyone said about Reid, plus Pederson when the city wanted Gase, who’s a complete joke and a flake.

When’s the last time a young coach won a SB? 

From a Colts message board

Quote

Boy. That’s... 

 

That’s weird. 
 

"Alright Carson, we cant get you Reich, but we CAN get you his secretary... eh? Ehhhh?”

 

Trying to figure out how this JAG is more qualified than Byron Leftwich who can't buy an interview...

Let me guess, Leftwich production as OC is a small sample size. Or Leftwich has Tom Brady this year.

Wonder what the excuse is...

I mean we have done pretty well with the Reid tree.

What do you know about him?

Glad it isn't McDaniels.  This guy seems to have been around the league a few years and been exposed to lots of different coaches and schemes.  The only thing that pops off the stats sheet is that the Colts offense ranked #2 in number of sacks allowed, yet ranked #10 in passing yards.  Great!  Welcome aboard!

As I understand, he was the only coach that Reich specifically requested when he arrived in Indy. If you remember, the colts had already hired most of the assistants for McDaniels and he accepted the majority of them. But he really wanted Sirianni.

Since then, Reich has constantly praised him and credits him for his game plan. Other media members have praised him, including Orlovsky. Plus, the colts have been pretty aggressive callers, so we won't be missing that from Doug.

Lastly, I have a couple of friends who are colts fans and they're pretty upset that he's leaving. So, all this makes me think he'll be a great coach for us.

I like the hire, good luck Nick and welcome to Philly!

Welcome to Philly Nick.  Good luck working with Howie!

I'm sure Howie has already introduced him to his new coaching staff. 

I know less about him than guys like McDaniels, Daboll, Brady, etc. The small amount I have read is encouraging. Clearly they want to tap into someone who worked with Reich since Frank had success with Carson.

Happy with the decision. Thrilled we didn't become a laughing stock by making Duce the head coach.

Per Everyone, Schefeter, Rappoport, Garofolo

I like it. Should be interesting the staff he assembles.

Exactly what I was going to say,  I think that's one of the main reasons he was hired.

Tomlin? 

I thought it was Gruden but now I see you’re right it’s Tomlin in 08, he was 36 

Nick's people skills are better than McDaniels' people skills.  You can see that he is comfortable talking to players.  So, that should help in terms of getting players to buy in to some degree. The unknown is how well he will do in creating an offense and how he will do overseeing the staff.  

Someone send an email to Lombardi and ask him to declare this the worst ever coaching hire in the history of history.

Under 40 was the standard set. Doug was 50
