it would be a great hire. pittsburgh is one of the most well run organizations in football.

its a lateral move isnt it? Couldnt the steelers have blocked it? They may not be as high on colbert

Holy shit i had no idea he was available. The Bears completely fucking blew it.

No offense to Pagano, but enough of the ball washing. ZERO PLAYOFF WINS AND A REGRESSED DEFENSE.

Doesn't look like a guy Virginia would enjoy having over for dinner

Brad Holmes, not Kevin Colbert, is the current favorite in Detroit

There seems to be more smoke than actual fire on the Colbert front in Detroit.

hey, don’t pout we have an off season of bad trade ups and kicking the salary cap even further down the road to drag this team to another mediocre 8 win season so nobody wants this job when pace is finally fired

Would be a good hire but they made a great point on talk radio. This is the same gm that stuck with Ben for too long. They are scared it means stafford going to be a permanent fixture in Detroit

I am not going to pretend to know jack shit about who may or may not be a good GM to be honest. But I must say, Colbert would certainly bring a level of comfort, I just don't see it happening. Man is under contract until after the 2021 draft, and i can't see going through the draft process without a gm, although, darts might prove more effective than Pace or Quinn (I actually give Quin a ever so slight edge here).

I have no problem with that.
