I also like the fact that Moore is 70 so a 3-4 yr contract would not be too bad, then let him retire and let Christensen step into the role as HC, he's only 53 I think. When he move up to HC we could hopefully move Manning to OC to help teach the offense and run it. Maybe someday P.Manning could be HC? if he's not bad at coaching.

You want Tom Moore to be our head coach?

Look I know it sound funny. It just came to me. No I don't relish someone 70yrs old being our HC, but I do like what he has brought to the table as the OC. Basically it's his offense being run there. He's not a rookie coach we would have to worry about getting the job done. He's coached for 40+yrs, been in the NFL for 32, and been an OC for 22yrs, and has been with the Colts for the last 12yrs. Clearly his offense works, clearly he helped turn the Colts around, clearly he helped make the offense one of the most prolific offense in the league. I'm guessing he helped the offense use good clock management. Ok, I think I laid the basis for why I would want him, but I agree he's old, but not old enough he can't help out a franchise for 3-4 yrs standing on the sideline calling the plays into the QB helmit. Unless his health is horrible?

Well I was suggesting Clyde Christensen be the OC learning under Moore but having gone and looked at their coaching roster I see Clyde is Asst. HC/WR coach. Maybe we could simply make Clyde the HC and hopefully he could bring in someone to help teach/coach the offense to the players. Why? cause people are talking about bringing in a young GM possibly Chris Polian, Assuming he understands how to build a team from his father and understands the type of players needed for the Colts scheme, then it would be wise to bring in someone who can help him build a team and someone he can help get the players for the system needed to run the scheme. Basically we raid the Colts team for coach's and "rebuild" this team from the top down. Turn this team into a high prolific offense to go with the top 5 defense we have.

Simply thinking that perhaps bringing in the young GM and some of the coach's from the Colts might bring to the Skins an offense that can move the ball and is proven. Also people were quick to want Chris Polian brought in but keep in mind he brought in players for a specific scheme style. You really don't want him to deviate from what he's used to or we might have players brought in for the wrong style of play ie; Gibbs oversized and aged O-lineman compared to a WCO which employ's a smaller speedier O-lineman.
