    Spagnuolo might be a good DC candidate if Pettine goes to Miami.

    Doesn't Spagnuolo run a 4-3 scheme?

    Well, I'll at least agree that he's a little nutty.

    Spags will go to Philly. The Giants cant hire him right now because they are in the playoffs. Phillys going to make a move any day imo.

    All these firings are irrelevant, until the one weve all been waiting for happens.

    Colts clean house...Polian and his son are gone.

    I assume Caldwell is gone too.

    I guess you never watched him the last time he coached in NY, did you? No surprise there.

    Spagnuolo is a good defensive coach but he runs a 4-3 scheme and we don't have the personnel for that type of defense, also Rex would never want a 4-3 system.

    i NEVER saw that coming.


    I suppose signing Peyton to a $90 trillion contract six weeks before he was announced as out for the year was fatal stupidity in Indianapolis. And rightfully so.

    Screw Polian. He's one of the reasons why defense is so irrelevant now. I'm pretty sure Irsay and Polian had a difference of opinion as far as what to do with Manning.

    Actually, you're right..I initially thought he could change like NE did this year (while still getting the #1 seed in the league, although not because of their defense) but maybe not.

    Indy is one of the worst run franchises in football. Look at their drafting, it is truly horrific, their FA moves as well.
    Since 2004 here are their first rounders
    No pick(traded for a 2nd 4th and upgrade in 3rd)
    Marlin jackson
    Joe Addai
    Anthony Gonzales
    No pick (traded with a 4th for previous year second)
    Donald Brown
    Jerry Hughes
    Anthony Costanzo

    Players drafted 2004-2008 still on the roster:
    2004- none
    2005- none
    2006- Addai, Bethea
    2007-Gonzalez
    2008- Pollack, Wheeler, Tamme, Garcon

    That is a brutal run, Garcon, Addai and Bethea are the only starters on that list. ANd there is no depth either.

    They may wait and let the new GM decide if he wants him or a different face.

    I doubt they'd go after Spaguolo too, but I don't think Rex has anything against the 4-3. You make it sound like it would be something he'd never even consider.

    His dad became known as a defensive genius with a 4 man front.
