If the old man was still in charge, he probably would have hired Ted Marchibroda for a 3rd tour as HC.

I like hiring someone on the Defensive side as the HC, but so was Dungy.

I thikn this pretty much seal Peyton's fate at returning as a Colts next year. The questions is, can he pass a physical with another team?

A Raven and a Steeler come together in Indy - Pagano hires ex-PIT OC Bruce Arians as his OC.

Irsay is sinking Indy.

Pagano's going Steeler crazy - Arians as OC, Keith Butler as DC.
