Comments on: Ryan Grigson: Colts will do “whatever we could” to keep Bruce Arians http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/04/ryan-grigson-colts-will-do-whatever-we-could-to-keep-bruce-arians/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: crownofthehelmet http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/04/ryan-grigson-colts-will-do-whatever-we-could-to-keep-bruce-arians/#comment-2230810 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:15:39 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1639326#comment-2230810 A HC gig might be good for Arians, but only because he won’t be OC. He may be good at developing quarterbacks, but his playcalling is awful.

He went to Purdue where academics are marginal at best. But, you have to like him for trying.

He is a great leader and I think he will be a very good HC. But his playcalling sucked a lot of the time. There were times the Colts won in spite of the bad play calling.

Then Pagano came back, Arians was able to focus on the offense, and the Colts beat the Texans 28-16. It was easily Arians’ best game.

So now I’m torn. Which is the real Arians? With Pagano running the team overall I think Arians would flourish as an OC. More than he ever did in Pittsburgh. But Arians is on record saying he’d like to be an NFL HC, and his stock will never be higher than it is after this season.

He is probably gone, and I wish him well. I hope we can keep him, but we probably can’t. Hopefully the Colts can bring in Norv Turner as OC if that happens. Just don’t promote Clyde Christensen to OC again, please. What a downgrade that would be.

He can take his vanilla offense anywhere he wants.

Meanwhile, Pagano gets a full season as HC and fails to make the playoffs. Say it happens 2 years in a row. Will this cause an uproar will Colts fans? Will they say Arians should’ve been moved to HC after this 2012 season considering his record with Chucky P away? Let’s be honest- Chuck isn’t going anywhere. He cant. That wouldn’t be giving the man a fair shake. But they have 2 hot commodities on their hands in Indy. Somethings got to give. Just hope for their sake that Arians isn’t the key to success on the team if he ends up leaving.

I know I’m reading too much into his wording, but it struck me as a bit strange.

He is a class act.

You never know how long Paganos health will hold up, and they need the continuity for Luck as well…

The Steelers 1st mistake was to announce his retirement, becuase BA never wanted to retire, and look what he has done for Indy and the rookie QB.
Its no wonder teams are falling over themselves to talk to this guy. He is great and hopfully he gets a HC position.
