The bottomline is that everyone’s already seen a glimpse of what Arians can do as a head coach based on being unexpectedly thrown to the fire with the Colts. Just because you are a good DC does not mean you will be a good HC.. duh.. This has nothing to do with the color if his skin. The Cards would have chosen him if they thought he was th e right fit. It’s not like they chose some snot nosed kid with no experience over him. The fact that he acted that way afterward is all the more reason that he shouldn’t have been chosen. Grow up dude. It’s not like your name was mentioned as a hot commodity by any other team.

Great, before any big game he’ll start getting heart palpitations and have to be carted away to the hospital….

Congrats to BA on becoming a head coach!! Wish him great success, but it will be a challenge. Hope he finds a capable QB as Whis did initially with Warner–and that he remembers which of them is supposed to be in charge. Arians sometimes forgot that with Roethlisberger.

The problem is dealing with the Bidwells. Nothing like accepting a dead end job. You’ve heard of win-win. Well, this is a lose-lose situation.

He’ll probably fire Horton and hire Bowles.

Becoming the coach of the Cardinals is like marrying a Victoria’s Secret Super Model with herpes.

Why that would be amazing, not only would I get to marry an underwear model, I wouldnt have to have the awkward…”listen, theres something i havent been exactly forthcoming with you about for the last 6 months” talk

Anyone that thinks Arians is a flexible guy that adapts to the players on-hand didn’t watch any Colts games. He is a good motivator and leader but he is stubborn with his play calling. And the Cards don’t have much of an OL to run his slow-developing pass plays. Oh and they don’t have a QB worth a crap either. Good luck Bruce, thanks for one good season.

Well you got to say he’s experienced at working with a team with no QB talent.

I keep telling myself there’s only 32 coaching jobs in the league so if you were offered one you know damn well you’d take it. That the only reason I’m not going to say what I would have told them they could do with thier job. This may have been a situation where he would have been better served staying with the Colts and seeing if something better opened up next year.

I’m betting Tom Moore comes back. He already said he wants to coach again. Perfect fit. And b4 draft, he was so high on Luck. “Take Luck with first pick and don’t ever look back”

I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a reason this guy didn’t get a head coaching job sooner… He had P. Manning, Big Ben, and Andrew Luck to lead him to success before.

Not saying he’s not worth it, he’s a great coach. Just hope he gets talent to support his ideas.

I’d love this hire if he was keeping Horton but he’s already said he wouldn’t. The way Horton got jobbed in this whole thing is sickening. Especially considering it looks like his “interviews” were to satisfy a stupid rule

Consensus says Arians was the better fitted HC candidate and I hope he keeps Horton as DC. Now if Keims and Arians with Horton could work together in the draft. Releasing guys like Snyder and Bradley and Wells and Brown we get better in those releases and cap space to draft and FA sign upgrades. It is clear where the team struggled our Oline and running game and QB. First two rounds Oline draft, 3rd round a running back replacement for Wells. 4th round either a TE or LB. If Geno Smith falls to the second round draft him. If 9ners release Alex Smith go after him then release Kolb cut Skelton and let Lindly work and learn from the third QB roll. If Keim is smart he will go Wormack at 7 and hopefully Eric Fisher or DJ Fluker in second. Lets not forget Keim was the lone voice in the room who wanted to draft Adrian Peterson when Wiz and Graves passed.

Good for Bruce.

Now then Grigson. I hear Moore is looking for a job.

Good man, glad to see him get an opportunity. You never know how any coach is going to work out, but Arizona made a nice move here.

I get this feeling, however, that Horton could go to Green Bay if Capers is not retained.

Zone blitz scheme is there too.

By: rajbais

rajbais — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 02:28:49 +0000

Ok. Good move, but there are multiple reports saying that Todd Bowles could be the new DC under Arians.

The HC change is good, but he would benefit more with his ex-Steelers colleague Ray Horton.

All ills will be cured once they get a QB.

As for Andrew Luck, the Colts are better off promoting 2009-11 play caller Clyde Christensen back to OC or getting Stanford OC Pep Hamilton, who is being sought by the Jets.

Norv Turner, has the ink dried on the contract with Cleveland? Indy now has that opening you really wanted…

What Arians did was selfish and disloyal and his type will be figured out real quick by the players. Pagano could get sick again at any time but instead of caring about him, Arians runs off to take care of himself.

Congratulations and best of luck! Arians has always been nothing but a class act.

He is now in a tough division swimming with sharks but if anybody can turn the Cards around it’s Arians.

Just goes to show the Steeler ineptness. Forced out, their offense goes to pot and ends up 8-8 and missing the playoffs. Arians takes the Colts to the playoffs, which did I mention the Steelers didn’t make, then gets a HC gig. I couldn’t think of a better scenario.
