  • Sounds like a great hire, man this organization knows how to pull me back in during the offseason.

  • So? What exactly will his duties be?

    And should he be offended at being called "Senior"? He is 68. (which means in Rock Star terms....apparently....he should either have been dead a year ago at 67 (Frey/Griffin).....or he has one year to live (Bowie)

    He's been a career assistant for the most part, but I think he has a superbowl ring from somewhere.

    I guess his duties would be along the lines of OC except doesn't call the plays.

    Agree... run practices... develop gameplans... all of the work none of the fun.

    But he might suggest plays from the booth...

    Maybe not plays, but trends. "This CB is having a bad day...Running up the right is getting us joy...they're overpursuing, maybe try a reverse..." etc

    It's always interesting when these little colloqiualisms present themselves. I'm sure I've taken a few from this forum and the NFL in general.

    Is that a good thing? Andrew Luck did not exactly "take off" on Pep's watch. It seems an awful lot to me like Andrew was relying on talent he was born with, and not growing into the position. Of course, Pep wasn't blocking for Andrew...

  • And now Horton is official as well.

    I'd say that logjam busted wide open...

    Big step down for Pep, but good choice for the position.

    Luck took off fine, until he was injured this past year. Remember, they played in the AFC title game last year (albeit they got hammered).

    He was also SD OL coach when LT had his record breaking years and moved up to offensive coordinator.

    I think Indy's problem is more talent related.
