Could Chip Kelly be in the Colts coaching mix?

On Sunday night, it looked like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had all but wrapped up Chip Kelly as their next head coach, but we awoke to the news this morning that he was instead staying put as the top man with the Oregon Ducks.   As the Indianapolis Colts and owner Jim Irsay also continue their search for a new fearless leader, I have to wonder if the developing Kelly situation doesn’t have a tinge of Blue and White to it.    Before Jeff Fisher signed with the Rams last week, there was speculation that he was waiting for the Colts job to open up.  Although that didn’t play out in our favor, I have to think that the Indy job is at least as attractive as the Bucs’ gig, and that Kelly might at least be open to speaking with the Colts.   After all, he’s already shown that he’s not averse to flirting with the NFL, so why not Indianapolis?

Curtis Painter's prayers were almost answered against the Buccaneers on Monday night.

 

On what should have been a Monday night showcase for Peyton Manning on his way to another Super Bowl appearance, the Indianapolis Colts instead fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, 24-17.   In his debut as a starting NFL quarterback, Curtis Painter threw for 281 yards and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions.   The Colts’ line-of-scrimmage game took a decided step backwards, as the team rushed for just 62 yards while allowing Tampa to run for 192.

Painter looked much better than I expected that he would, and he might be able to turn in a decent season in Manning’s stead.  The Colts now stand at 0-4, but the schedule goes soft now, with games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.  Go Colts!?
