Just Sayin Team decision making and play calling are 2 very different things. Good public speaking skills is not a reason to make him a head coach. That mistake would have disastrous results.
Far North Squirell he isn't my qb I just love how he has a goal doesn't matter who it is they were a power house for 10-13 years with Manning and 1 with luck
Far North Squirell naw man it's cool but Andrew luck leaves to a actual team like the stealers with a team who he can actually count on bruh MVP for years
Chris Ballard is standing up for his team. Why are idiots on here trashing the man for going to bat for the team that hired him? Josh McDaniels did a shitty thing by turning ship.
I just want Andrew Luck to be healthy by the start of next season for crying out loud. I never really cared about having McDaniels as a coach anyway. Not after how he did as HC for other teams.
Theory: Josh stayed in NE because Bill Belichick is going to leave NE. Josh is expecting to take over as HC. Bill setup his defense for failure on purpose to hurt Brady and Craft for their actions regards to Garapolo.
MICOLE WHYTE... Wrong! McDaniels will take over when Belichick retires and Jonathan Kraft, the owner's sun, will assume CEO duties once his father does the same and together will usher in the new era of the Patriots (2.0)! The blueprint is alive and well in Foxboro! All teams rebuild and the college ranks are filled with hungry and new talent (new blood). It ain't over by no stretch of the imagination. Go PATS!
bro they most likely promised him the coaching gig after Belichick is out which can be next year since his contract is expiring would you rather rebuild and start all over again with the chemistry and Luck is injured that Colts job was gonna be a huge hassel but in NE you have a superbowl caliber team that is willing to hand you the coaching job its for sure bc who would give up a coaching gig but all the NE has to worry about is a QB for the future and thats it on the offense for now but the only thing we need to rebuild is the defense and Mcdaniels did bad with broncos bc he had Tim Tebow at Qb now he gets to choose who he wants bc he wasnt scared bc before the meeting with the pats he was all for it
Ben Martinez... McDaniels is playing chess! No need to go anywhere when he'll eventually be coaching the Patriots once BB retires. Both McDaniels and Jonathan Kraft, the owner's sun, will continue that legendary legacy and usher in the new era (Patriots 2.0) with some new blood. Go PATS!
Ben Martinez Sources tell me Josh needs bill as much as bill needs Josh because they are secretly lovers and they have brown mouths because they tongue punch each other's fart boxes
The worst thing you can do is go back on your word. A man's word is sometimes all you have to put your faith in regarding another man. But McDaniels is one of the reasons they won another ring and the Colts will always be in the rear-view mirror of the Patriots. You can't compare the two franchises. Brady 4 (Colts Manning) 1. Brady 2 Luck 0 --- Rivalry, that's laughable, and I'm a Colts fan. Even the coverage of the press conference cut Ballard off before anyone heard him say "The rivalry is back on"... lol,
Rivalry as in its going to begin again. The last few years it hasn't been a rivalry because the colts just haven't been good enough but the will easily become much better this season and it will prove a rivalry will begin again
Mikiyas 17 explain to me how the colts will "easily" become much better? Is it just because you set the bar so low? Cause last I checked your offensive line, and defense is TRASH
Ben Sweetser Ty Law did whatever he wanted to MARVIN HARRISON in their playoff matchups due to his lack of size 6'0 180.Law was 5'11 216 a 30 lbs advantage plus he was a 4.36 man in his own right.
A rivalry requires competition, and the Colts have not been able to compete with the Patriots in almost a decade (last time they won a game against the Patriots was 2009)
Wow, prayers to Edwin Jackson and his family. Josh McDaniels dropping out as well is quite shady, he pretty much just left the Colts in the dark with a last minute withdrawal.
Lol yeah. I'm a Colts fan, so I feel cheated, but I can see why other people are laughing at us. I would probably do the same if it was someone else. I'm happy in the end, since I definitely don't want him now anyway. Nice to see people who aren't Colts fans aren't being absolute *sses about it like some Pats fans
well it appears that Josh is not the right guy for the job over in Indy. You don't need to be mad, you need to keep looking and find the right guy that fits in with the Colts.
I have been an Indianapolis Colts fan since the beginning, through the good and the bad, but I have never been as excited about the possibilities as I am now... Go Colts!!!
Benjamin Mobley oh it's gonna happen you just watch after this free agentsy and the daft and with over 80 mill in cap space lol you will see the rivalry ounce again 💪💪💪💪💪💪
As a 49ers fan I still think there is still a rivalry between the colts and pats and just because of the colts haven’t been doing well against the pats doesn’t mean there isn’t a rivalry’s. Just look at the eagles and cowboys rivalry about 20 years ago it was the most one sided rivalry since the colts and pats but people still said it was the one of the most intense rivalry’s out there.
Off topic.. are there any packers fans that have atleast been watching since the 2010 season? It seems like all the packers fans now are so annoying and don't know anything about football
I'm asking the same thing,and it's making me mad,to be a true packers fan you must know all of Aaron Rodgers stats,and if you didn't watch the packers in 2010 then IDK what to say,it's like there all new fans now
AGK927 I'm a 49ERS fan I like watching Aaron Rodgers there's a lot of fans of Green Bay but the other fans only talk about his stats those people probably don't know what there talking about
We gonna be alright, we just gotta stick together and trust in the process. When you got a guy like Ballard at the helm, good things WILL happen. I want to sacrifice for this dude just after watching this press conference.
I'd put my body on the line for a high character guy like him. Can't even fathom players in this league being able to respect McDaniels after this. His players will quit on him IF he even becomes HC; I guarantee it.
Why leave the infrastructure in New England. Irsay is a loose cannon and Luck’s shoulder injury, which might require further surgery might have been very concerning, so McDaniels in my opinion made the right choice. The Colts and McDaniels was always a weird fit to me anyways(mostly because of Irsay).
McDaniels sucks as a head coach anyway, he's more suited to being an OC. If anything target Jim Harbaugh, he can turn around a team easily, look at what he did with the 49ers in his first season.
As a lifetime Colts fan, it's a bad situation, but anyone pretending that mcdaniels was the answer is delusional, I'll be surprised if Andrew luck plays again, there a long ways away from being competitive and it sucks
"Everybody just starts hiring people and I don't believe in that, I believe you've gotta take your time" *Rushes to announce McDaniels hiring immediately after Super Bowl*
16:06 excellent point. Case in point - my Ravens’ first choice was Jason Garrett.. He told them he had to think about it. The Ravens moved on and ended up hiring John Harbaugh. 3 AFC title games and 1 SB title later and I’d say the Ravens made the right choice. Oh but I still hate the Colts for leaving Bmore back in 84.
Pok3monmast3r00 yup I remembered that I'm glad that jed York didn't get josh McDaniels, Kyle and john are trying to make the 49ERS elite I can't wait for next season let's go 49ERS
Pok3monmast3r00... You will forever be subconsciously thanking Belichick for that donation aka Jimmy G. (TB's apprentice), which has undoubtedly breathed life into an entire region's hopes and dreams of a return to their glory days, but, who will eventually realize that it's going to take so much more than a QB to achieve that! That being said, we have love for Jimmy and wish him well. Btw, I'm a Ronnie Lott fan from those Montana days! Go PATS!
highmost7 the Niners have a good draft pick and a ton of cap space. They’ll sign Jimmy for a reasonable amount of money and they’re gonna run the NFC west. I’m glad they traded him far far away from the Pats. We’ll never have to play him.
highmost7 u guys didn't donate Jimmy G lol he was going to be a free agent the patriots weren't going to sign a backup qb for a lot of money especially how u guys go to the afc championship like every year u guys need that cap for players on the field not on the the sidelines. Coach b could of gotten more for him in the off season
highmost7 New England organization will forever be grateful to the 49ers for showing them how to build a dynasty. Just ask New England's coach, he'll confirm this fact.😁
Bushy FromOz Ballard mistook Josh for a man, and to his word for it over a handshake. I dont know where you live, but one of the first things men are taught here is about your honor and word. Nobody forced this dude to agree to terms. Its not like the pats kept it a secret they wanted him to stay, he has had a month to speak up.
Chris Ballard comes out of this pretty impressive. I thought he handled the McDaniels jilting really well. He could have ripped into McDaniels, but Ballard didn't. Smart move. When Ballard was asked about the call Tuesday night from McDaniels, Ballard just asked Josh, "Are you in or out?". Well played, Chris Ballard.
ben david and why the colts organization try to hire a coach who they accused his offense of cheating ( afc 2014 championship) don’t you think 🤔 that’s a pathetic.that means the colts khnow the patriots didn’t do anything wrong they fabricated everything
It’s business. If you tell your boss you found another job with more money and your boss tells you he’ll pay more than your offer why would you leave? It sucks for the colts cause they announced it but the NFL is a business. Why coach the colts possibly without Luck when you can be the Headcoach of the Pats in 2 years? Which job honestly sounds better lol
Two points. He hid nothing and wants to persuade “no one”. if the head coach fits his criteria and want to be all in then he will hire them. I trust Ballard and his decision. Two, he isn’t “abandoning” the coaching staff that he currently has lined up. that, alone, shows a great man.
I cant wait until we play the patriots we still haven't played them since this happened! I hope Josh McDaniels is with them so when they lose he can second guess himself, im glad he backed out we are in a good spot
I wonder what McDaniels knows. I wonder if the Colts told him something about Andrew Luck not being able to come back from, his injury. If I were McDaniels, I'd rather be OC for Brady and Belichick, as opposed to watching Jacoby Brisset flounder around....
It had nothing to do with Luck he was basically promised the head coaching job after Belichick retires which is most likely soon so he thought it would be the better option for him to wait
BB's contract is up after 2019. You know Kraft had to give him a bump in pay and promise of the HC job. Apparently they had a 4 hour meeting between Kraft, BB and McDaniels before he turned down the Colts. Probably making sure they don't pull a Jay Leno, Conan situation and give BB another contract.
He's sounds more like a coach than a GM... maybe Ballard should take the helm
Just Sayin not a bad idea
Just Sayin Team decision making and play calling are 2 very different things. Good public speaking skills is not a reason to make him a head coach. That mistake would have disastrous results.
Mr. KNRed X and that's the reason Ballard will not make himself head coach LOL
ya he does
He was a history teacher after college and coached, totally see it here
Sources say that #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels decided to remain in New England after QB Tom Brady promised to "kiss him on the lips like his son".
Brady reportedly told McDaniels, "I'll kiss you harder than you've ever been kissed before, you dirty little slu+."
So hot.
Hahaha!
😂😂😂😂😂
Ian Rapoport W
Fake news lol
This guy is amazing best speech I've heard in a while and he clearly has a goal
Merkslayjohnny 1 good luck with your has been qb
Far North Squirell he isn't my qb I just love how he has a goal doesn't matter who it is they were a power house for 10-13 years with Manning and 1 with luck
Merkslayjohnny oops sorry thought you were a colts fans....assuming haha
in what way is luck a has-been?
Far North Squirell naw man it's cool but Andrew luck leaves to a actual team like the stealers with a team who he can actually count on bruh MVP for years
The rivalry died once Manning left for Denver.
Arthur Vega it's about to get back on up
E-money Marcroft he will be back up to luck this coming year
Well Manning didn't exactly leave
Wtf do you mean Manning didn't leave? Do you have brain damage bro?
Uhm the colts released him so it wasn't his decision to just not come back the colts said we no longer want you
Chris Ballard is standing up for his team. Why are idiots on here trashing the man for going to bat for the team that hired him? Josh McDaniels did a shitty thing by turning ship.
#Headcoachgate
Far North Squirell take this L
Fire Daddy only if you take this R
Fire Daddy you hold this L
Royalty 92 *gives it back*
Fire Daddy nope stop lying
Broncos fans are with you Colts Nation. Forget Josh McDouchebag
Nathaniel Jacobs why don't Broncos and Colts get a room and play with each other 😂
Thanks bronc
.... hope u get foles
You stole that from Brandon Perna.
Nathaniel Jacobs hahahha broncos hahhahaha
Nathaniel Jacobs u watch that’s good broncos with Brandon perna
Chris, you are a man of pure class. Really respect you as our GM.
I’d hardly call it a rivalry more like a father and son relationship.
Elver Galarga Sons eventually beat the father. Father let sons win to boost confidence. This is just somebody hitting a dead body with a stick.
40 vs 27 ..pretty soon 40 is gone to be 40 sir
I don't see Brady trying to makeout with Luck.
He was making the point that the rivalry has been dead and gone for 5 years or more, but it's back on.
Ok . Just watch . Lol It’s over NE
What Rivalry!?!?!?!?
Silent Noise Colts and Patriots
Deon Nelson lol you don't get it ha
The one we had when Manning was here.
I did not know that Matt Damon was the Colts G.M. I guess Jason Bourne is in the N.F.L. now.
truth00ish Jesus Christ it's Matt Damon
truth00ish swear
I just want Andrew Luck to be healthy by the start of next season for crying out loud. I never really cared about having McDaniels as a coach anyway. Not after how he did as HC for other teams.
Rivalry? The Colts are 5-15 against Brady, 1-4 in the playoffs and haven't beat the Pats since 2009.
Terram, what is Brady's record in Miami ? Hmmmmm
I believe 8-9. 0-0 in the playoffs because the Dolphins would actually have to make the playoffs.
Terram Lucida Tela Concilium dolphins are trash😂😂
Sound like a rivalry, you know all them stats boy
Kevin Clements what’s Miami’s playoff record? Hahahahhaha
Theory: Josh stayed in NE because Bill Belichick is going to leave NE. Josh is expecting to take over as HC. Bill setup his defense for failure on purpose to hurt Brady and Craft for their actions regards to Garapolo.
JoshuaM this makes a lot of sense
JoshuaM and when that happens New England will fail.

"An empire destroyed from the outside will rebuild but an empire destroyed from within can never rise again"
MICOLE WHYTE... Wrong! McDaniels will take over when Belichick retires and Jonathan Kraft, the owner's sun, will assume CEO duties once his father does the same and together will usher in the new era of the Patriots (2.0)! The blueprint is alive and well in Foxboro! All teams rebuild and the college ranks are filled with hungry and new talent (new blood). It ain't over by no stretch of the imagination. Go PATS!
It's not a rivalry if it's one sided
Jaquavius Murray the Colts owned the pats from 2005-2009.
gleeful incent and patriots have owned the colts 2010-2017
it won't last forever....and when the tables get turned on the Cheatriots, teams will bury them, and with pleasure
gleeful incent The Pats owned them before remember the playoffs!!!!
Speaking of one-sided, Foles to Brady
Everyone saying "what rivalry" is either young as hell or just has bad memory
Rich Jackson it ain't no rivarly anymore lol
It hasn't been a rivalry in a decade, and all of a sudden it's going to become one because a GM got his feelings hurt? wtf are you talking about?
Its a deep hate between Colts and Pats fans rivalries dont end
No it's because you guys haven't beaten the pats in years lol
A rivalry is when there is bad blood smart ones. Colts and pats have always had bad blood fyi
" Josh is scared, he needs Bill."
Ben Martinez ?
bro they most likely promised him the coaching gig after Belichick is out which can be next year since his contract is expiring would you rather rebuild and start all over again with the chemistry and Luck is injured that Colts job was gonna be a huge hassel but in NE you have a superbowl caliber team that is willing to hand you the coaching job its for sure bc who would give up a coaching gig but all the NE has to worry about is a QB for the future and thats it on the offense for now but the only thing we need to rebuild is the defense and Mcdaniels did bad with broncos bc he had Tim Tebow at Qb now he gets to choose who he wants bc he wasnt scared bc before the meeting with the pats he was all for it
on offense we need a better line and better RB and 1 more good receiver but most likely we will have mediocre WR forever honeslty
Ben Martinez... McDaniels is playing chess! No need to go anywhere when he'll eventually be coaching the Patriots once BB retires. Both McDaniels and Jonathan Kraft, the owner's sun, will continue that legendary legacy and usher in the new era (Patriots 2.0) with some new blood. Go PATS!
Ben Martinez
Sources tell me Josh needs bill as much as bill needs Josh because they are secretly lovers and they have brown mouths because they tongue punch each other's fart boxes
Colts nation we'll be just fine
great chimdale hahahaha gonna put up a banner for almost having a decent coach?
great chimdale with a has been qb
colts nation?
Overheard on the Ttitanic: Crewmember: "SIR, we've hit an iceberg!!!!". Captain: "Titanic Nation ....... we'll be just fine".
Mcdaniels - 32nd rank offense with rams, 11-17 record HC of broncos
This is how you rally up your troops
Peyton should coach indy. He acted like a coach go for it Peyton
David DeConinck I like the sound of that
McDaniels really wasted their time. I’d be pissed too. That’s the worst thing a man can do to someone. Waste their time.
It's all good he also had coaches ready to join his staff and he left them hanging
The worst thing you can do is go back on your word. A man's word is sometimes all you have to put your faith in regarding another man. But McDaniels is one of the reasons they won another ring and the Colts will always be in the rear-view mirror of the Patriots. You can't compare the two franchises. Brady 4 (Colts Manning) 1. Brady 2 Luck 0 --- Rivalry, that's laughable, and I'm a Colts fan. Even the coverage of the press conference cut Ballard off before anyone heard him say "The rivalry is back on"... lol,
Dude, what rivalry? Y'all haven't beat em since Peyton was your QB
Rivalry as in its going to begin again. The last few years it hasn't been a rivalry because the colts just haven't been good enough but the will easily become much better this season and it will prove a rivalry will begin again
Mikiyas 17 explain to me how the colts will "easily" become much better? Is it just because you set the bar so low? Cause last I checked your offensive line, and defense is TRASH
Ben Sweetser Even when Peyton was the QB the Pats ran the show!!!!!
Dwight Love facts
Ben Sweetser Ty Law did whatever he wanted to MARVIN HARRISON in their playoff matchups due to his lack of size 6'0 180.Law was 5'11 216 a 30 lbs advantage plus he was a 4.36 man in his own right.
The rivalry never stopped. I've hated the patriots since I was 8 years old. Just grows more and more each season. #Colts4life
Rivalry? Did Manning resign with the Colts? Had no idea.
You guys dodged a bullet with this guy, I'm a broncos fan and what he's doing to the faiders is exactly what colts would've went through!
As a bronco fan trust me when I say you guys lucked out! Josh McDaniels is a hack and he showed his true colors
Great call
A rivalry requires competition, and the Colts have not been able to compete with the Patriots in almost a decade (last time they won a game against the Patriots was 2009)
It’s a blessing to have him and Jim made the right choice
Chris Ballard is probably the most genuine gm I've ever seen in the NFL
He just woke up and realized it was the Colts all you saw was elbows and ass after that
41-33
Wow, prayers to Edwin Jackson and his family. Josh McDaniels dropping out as well is quite shady, he pretty much just left the Colts in the dark with a last minute withdrawal.
Dats tuff
That guy sounds very inspiring. I'm close to get excited about the Colts defense too and I don't care about the Colts.
That Rivalry died when Peyton got cut
Payback for deflategate
Little Birdie thanks for the payback now we have a way better coach and leader
Thank goodness as a colts fan that he backed out and stayed with the deflatriots
Shit’s getting real
Jeremiah Rose What side are you on in this? Just curious, I won't harass you for one or the other. Looking for other people's honest opinions
Im siding with the colts on this one
McDaniels was a jerk who has just put every colts fan on suicide watch
Lol yeah. I'm a Colts fan, so I feel cheated, but I can see why other people are laughing at us. I would probably do the same if it was someone else. I'm happy in the end, since I definitely don't want him now anyway. Nice to see people who aren't Colts fans aren't being absolute *sses about it like some Pats fans
The transparency and honesty is so freaking refreshing
well it appears that Josh is not the right guy for the job over in Indy. You don't need to be mad, you need to keep looking and find the right guy that fits in with the Colts.
I have never really paid attention to Chris Ballard before now. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Good temper. Positive attitude.
A coach that would fit would be a completely change culturally and personally from what the city is
I have been an Indianapolis Colts fan since the beginning, through the good and the bad, but I have never been as excited about the possibilities as I am now... Go Colts!!!
Well....If you want this to be a rivalry Indy, you will need to start winning. ALOT
lmao looks like we did
Mission accolplished
What rivalry?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Benjamin Mobley oh it's gonna happen you just watch after this free agentsy and the daft and with over 80 mill in cap space lol you will see the rivalry ounce again 💪💪💪💪💪💪
the colts and patriots use to be in the same division until 2002. after that it was just a manning-brady rivelry.
Benjamin Mobley used to be in the same division and also the deflate gate years back
"ounce"
Benjamin Mobley facts
what a speech! 😤
As a 49ers fan I still think there is still a rivalry between the colts and pats and just because of the colts haven’t been doing well against the pats doesn’t mean there isn’t a rivalry’s. Just look at the eagles and cowboys rivalry about 20 years ago it was the most one sided rivalry since the colts and pats but people still said it was the one of the most intense rivalry’s out there.
Off topic.. are there any packers fans that have atleast been watching since the 2010 season? It seems like all the packers fans now are so annoying and don't know anything about football

I'm asking the same thing,and it's making me mad,to be a true packers fan you must know all of Aaron Rodgers stats,and if you didn't watch the packers in 2010 then IDK what to say,it's like there all new fans now
I’m a favre fan if that counts
Cowboysfan 1998 yeah man
AGK927 I'm a 49ERS fan I like watching Aaron Rodgers there's a lot of fans of Green Bay but the other fans only talk about his stats those people probably don't know what there talking about
McDaniels tried to pull a Bill but it backfired immediately the colts got one of the best coaches in the nfl now
GODDAMN...................... Patriots gave the Colts more " L's " without playing a single snaps on the field. This team is bombarded with L's.
Y’all miss Brady or what?
This was an L?? 😂😂😂😂😂
The deal isn't done until the document is signed. Simple commercial law. If you make plans based on an unsigned contract - its on you.
P Pumpkin We shouldn’t be surprised. Nobody on the Pats has any moral backbone
Not even close dude. If Commercial Law or Contract Law were that simple, I wouldn't have bothered going to class.
13:40 Ballard knew what was going to happen and predicted it spot on
what a horrendous couple days for the colts :(
Jack Salonsky hey man we will bounce back!
We gonna be alright, we just gotta stick together and trust in the process. When you got a guy like Ballard at the helm, good things WILL happen. I want to sacrifice for this dude just after watching this press conference.
Justin Pelkey that’s right
I'd put my body on the line for a high character guy like him. Can't even fathom players in this league being able to respect McDaniels after this. His players will quit on him IF he even becomes HC; I guarantee it.
Colts took another L even when they aren't playing 😂😂
Charod Mathers I’m glad that you guys beat the Patriots
Varson 188 they needed a ass beating that whole game bro ❤
Charod Mathers 👍
Eagles fans are trash.
so are yankees fans Yankee Fan101
Incoming salt from Colts fans and Pats haters
you sound like a guy that wants to kiss Brady on the lips
Jimmy G wouldn't that be gay though? lol
Frood exactly
or kiss something else of Brady;s...need to get a magnifying glass out though
Zach Hall So why would I kiss Brady on the lips then?
I have to say that GM is a class act and I really liked how he handled everything. I hope they find the right coach and get back on track.
Good luck
Why leave the infrastructure in New England. Irsay is a loose cannon and Luck’s shoulder injury, which might require further surgery might have been very concerning, so McDaniels in my opinion made the right choice. The Colts and McDaniels was always a weird fit to me anyways(mostly because of Irsay).
What rivalry ?
Belichik Probably made a deal with Mcdaniels that if he stays one more year he’ll retire then pass the reigns to him
Oh it's "back on"? Good, I was under the impression you were going to continue laying down and getting stomped on.
When these two teams play it's definitely going to be a story to follow.
McDaniels sucks as a head coach anyway, he's more suited to being an OC. If anything target Jim Harbaugh, he can turn around a team easily, look at what he did with the 49ers in his first season.
Cartier Dankk oh....lol well....that sucks for the Colts then lmao
As a lifetime Colts fan, it's a bad situation, but anyone pretending that mcdaniels was the answer is delusional, I'll be surprised if Andrew luck plays again, there a long ways away from being competitive and it sucks
Shane Dorman hot digitty damn
😂😂
Shane Dorman oh
Kc Comets fan here. Great job!
what's that
"Everybody just starts hiring people and I don't believe in that, I believe you've gotta take your time"
*Rushes to announce McDaniels hiring immediately after Super Bowl*
its not a rivalry when you lose every time
He wants to be with the goat and a team that wins
how is that working for him he cant ever get a head coaching job again the eagles turned him down hahahah
1 year later: Nailed it.
That's my GM.
16:06 excellent point. Case in point - my Ravens’ first choice was Jason Garrett.. He told them he had to think about it. The Ravens moved on and ended up hiring John Harbaugh. 3 AFC title games and 1 SB title later and I’d say the Ravens made the right choice. Oh but I still hate the Colts for leaving Bmore back in 84.
Didnt McDaniels kind of do this with SF last year before they hired Shanahan?
Pok3monmast3r00 yup I remembered that I'm glad that jed York didn't get josh McDaniels, Kyle and john are trying to make the 49ERS elite I can't wait for next season let's go 49ERS

Nobody forced this dude to agree to terms. Its not like the pats kept it a secret they wanted him to stay, he has had a month to speak up.
Gotta be competitive for it to be a rivalry.....
Mission Accomplished
What a blessing in disguise, mcdaniels is a franchise killer, colts really dodged a bullet
From a Pats fan, Indy is lucky to have this guy as a GM....
I don't know his personnel history or anything but from this speech I'd have a lot of confidence in Ballard as my GM.
Seriously it will be John Defillipo as next Indy coach and it will have be happening soon Feb 7 and no coach. JOSH MCDANIELED THEM
He has brought prosperity back to Indy
Imagine if Chris Ballard and Jim Irsay bans Josh McDaniels and the Patriots from the LOS during the Combine.
Hire Jim Caldwell again, Colts!
Damn right it is, the way he did us was some sh!t
Oh and go Pats! We got back at them effers. Pulled the rug right out from underneath. Hell Yeah!!!!
Thanks Shadow
Patriots are 7-0 against the Colts in this decade not a rivalry
As Patriots fan I like Ballard and wish the Colts well...God-willing they won't blow the rest of Andrew Luck's career.
Whatever he is selling im buying. He sounds really good answering questions like an excellent PR person. Id higher him with a handshake and a smile.
They should wait until after the SB to interview potential candidates.
I would work in NFL, this is a good reason to follow this sport
All these Eagles fans showing up outta no where...
Chris Ballard comes out of this pretty impressive. I thought he handled the McDaniels jilting really well. He could have ripped into McDaniels, but Ballard didn't. Smart move. When Ballard was asked about the call Tuesday night from McDaniels, Ballard just asked Josh, "Are you in or out?". Well played, Chris Ballard.
Why are people defending McDaniels? He gave his word. Backed out. Yeah he's a real man alright
ben david and why the colts organization try to hire a coach who they accused his offense of cheating ( afc 2014 championship) don’t you think 🤔 that’s a pathetic.that means the colts khnow the patriots didn’t do anything wrong they fabricated everything
Najib B. Amor my comment had nothing to do with that. He agreed to the terms. He backed out.
It’s business. If you tell your boss you found another job with more money and your boss tells you he’ll pay more than your offer why would you leave? It sucks for the colts cause they announced it but the NFL is a business. Why coach the colts possibly without Luck when you can be the Headcoach of the Pats in 2 years? Which job honestly sounds better lol
@@M9Q77 That's not a complete analogy mate. You're leaving out quite a bit of relevant facts.
THATS MY GM
It's amazing how losing the SB to a backup QB can shake your confidence... McDaniels had flashbacks of Denver.
Hiring Ballard will go down as one of the best front office moves
Two points.
He hid nothing and wants to persuade “no one”. if the head coach fits his criteria and want to be all in then he will hire them. I trust Ballard and his decision.
Two, he isn’t “abandoning” the coaching staff that he currently has lined up. that, alone, shows a great man.
Hahahaha... "rivalry"??? This is the best joke I have seen in the past few years.
😬😬
No rivalry is back on - New England will keep kicking your ass!
Defining moment for the Colture!
I cant wait until we play the patriots we still haven't played them since this happened! I hope Josh McDaniels is with them so when they lose he can second guess himself, im glad he backed out we are in a good spot
Why don't you sit on the rule committee and change another rule.
I wonder what McDaniels knows. I wonder if the Colts told him something about Andrew Luck not being able to come back from, his injury. If I were McDaniels, I'd rather be OC for Brady and Belichick, as opposed to watching Jacoby Brisset flounder around....
It had nothing to do with Luck he was basically promised the head coaching job after Belichick retires which is most likely soon so he thought it would be the better option for him to wait
BB's contract is up after 2019. You know Kraft had to give him a bump in pay and promise of the HC job. Apparently they had a 4 hour meeting between Kraft, BB and McDaniels before he turned down the Colts. Probably making sure they don't pull a Jay Leno, Conan situation and give BB another contract.
it's not a rivalry when one side loses all the time
Josh is one smart guy for not joining the Colts. AFC south will be a tough division to win
