Strongest Ted Marchibroda HC'd (Colts) team?

[74_75_78_79_]

Yes, his '95 installment was just 9-7. But, of course, they not only at least won a playoff game, not only a second playoff game, but came oh so close to beating the Steelers at Three Rivers for the AFCC, and I really feel that had they actually pulled it off, they have an - at least - just under 50% chance of topping Big D in the desert! Or at least giving them endless fits (https://profootballresearchers.com/foru ... php?t=6257)! Teams with a bunch of underrated players and assistant coaches are the scariest!

But, of course, Ted's '70s teams performed greater regular seasons. Yes, one-and-done each time. But considering the sick competition during that time (especially bringing the Friendly 'Ghost' & Co into OT), absolutely no disgrace! And I do keep forgetting this when Heralding my '75 Steelers, but Bert didn't play in that divisional round yet Ted kept the Colts in it quite well into the game! It instigates a 'what-if' Bert played?? I like to think Steelers still advance anyway (they do), but still.

IS IT 1975? Or, despite (all due respect, he WAS a warrior/fighter) Harbaugh being a drop-off from Jones, is it...'95?

Or '77 ('76)?

PS - you should, at least, place that '95 squad above the '94 Chargers, right? This despite SD advancing thru the 'Burgh whereas the Colts didn't. Sure-enough they don't do much against the '94 Forty Niners, but at least give them a noticeably better game than SD did.

I would go with 1976 ... had instant score ability, deep threat ...

They just ran into juggernauts in postseason.Roger Carr's health and abilities make the first of the 3-4 good TM teams, IMO
