Greg Roman may be a HC candidate if they hire Chris Polian. They were teammates at John Carroll and have remained friends. They also have offensive guys that already fit alot of what he likes to do.

Well he already knows the division having been in Indy and Jax. That would be a plus for him in the selection process. He would not retain Mularkey IMO. Mularkey was the first person his current boss Caldwell got rid of when he got to Jax. I don't see any way he sees him as a good choice. The Roman connection is a good one. Roman interviewed for OC in Jax last year, too. Chip could be in play. He said he just wants to coach now. And Chris isn't a guy who wants the spotlight at all. He's a behind the scenes type and would have chip do all the talking/appear to be in charge. Chris is a personnel guy more so than anything.

Yolo, there were some reports that both Polians were control freaks at Indy. Is that a bad rap on Chris?

 

Personally, I thought Indy's personnel choices sucked and are no inducement to hire Chris P., but that's me.

bill was president/CEO and had quite the temper as we all know so can see that being the case - but he had all the control anyway. Chris is opposite personality. Very passive. I wouldn't want him as GM of my team, but given the right set up he will probably get another chance. I feel like he would be better off if he had some kind of czar or president above him. Not sure what their setup is. His brother works in football ops for the Titans though.

Detroit has a GM opening too, right? He hired jim Caldwell in Indy - could see that one too.

 

 

If he is hired Doug Marrone will be the next HC.

good point, I could see that Edited by YoloinOhio

Kind of like Kyle, Rex, Rob, etc....

Exactly except Rex actually proved himself for a few years. Rob Ryan has been getting DC jobs when he was one of the worst DCs for years.

 

Polian helped put together a 2-14 team and is getting more GM looks? The NFL loves nepotism.

In other words he's a proud member of the "Whatever Dude" generation!!

I'll admit to not tracking guys in the colts system terribly close but would you peg a guy like Hughes as a bad pick, for instance? That was a polian, right? Was it in part disconnect between him and coaches, or just bad talent acquisition?
