The #Colts requested an interview with #Bengals OC Brian Callahan for their head coaching job, per source.

Wouldn't surprise me if Brian, Dan Pitcher the QB coach or Betcher the LB coach left for higher positions.

Don’t know his relationship with his Dad but between the two they’d be able to put together a nice staff. Dan Picher won’t leave as he’d be the OC here unless Brian let him call plays. But Bettcher would be gone.

Good for him, hope he gets the job

I’d be more upset if Anarumo was getting an interview.
I think they can replace Callahan and still have a potent offense.

Hell, I hope he gets an HC gig. I hope Lou gets a HC gig. Question my fandom all you want.

Not sure I'd want to go to the Colts situation. Basically no QB and a mediocre roster. They have the 4th draft pick which means they likely aren't getting Young or Stroud. After those two the quality becomes kind of iffy and looks more like a wildcard.

The Colts would be a dream job. They have a solid Oline, a premiere RB, a great Defense, and they play in a division the Jags just won.
WTS, they should go with a defensive mind. Lou would be great there

Colts had the 28th ranked defense in ppg, their line gave up the 2nd most sacks in the league, and run game was bottom half in most categories.
The division is definitely trash though.

Most likely why they're looking for a new coach. They had an HC for half the year who had as much HC experience as I do.
Their oline is Ryan Kelley, Quinton Nelson, Will Fries, Braden Smith, Bernhard Rainmann.

In a conference that has Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Lawrence, etc, you better have a QB who’s at least capable of becoming elite someday.
That alone would disqualify the Colts from being a “dream job” right now, imo.

The Titans and Texans are sure looking like trash for the near future, but the Jaguars are sort of like a B- version of the Bengals where they looked to be out of things and then they turned it around and are making a push. It'll be interesting to see what the Colts do at QB. The Texans miracle-ed themselves out of the 1st pick and into the 2nd pick, so the Colts could trade a buttload to get the Bears 1st overall pick to address their QB needs as well as screw the Texans.
Or the Colts could keep with their usual standards by plugging in a vet QB and coming up a bit short. Jimmy G? Mayfield? Darnold? Maybe they'd actually make a play for a guy who isn't crap/toast by looking at Jackson.

The Colts are probably looking to pair up a young QB with a young offensive coach. They will likely go out and looked for an experienced defensive coordinator to go with Brian Callahan. That seems to be the fad lately.

Same here, if Pitcher waits for this move he could stay and possibly be a smooth transition. It's hard to see losing Lou going smooth with any replacement.

As of right now, Pitcher is the OC in waiting. He's part of the succession plan the team has talked about.

You don't think some defensive coaches would be holding their hands up high to get this gig?... I do. Lou may be many things, but irreplaceable he is not.
