There is a joke in there for sure. 

 

But I’m in far too brooding a mood to make it tonight. Maybe I’ll come back to it tomorrow when I’m less distressed.

Live view of McDaniels on his way to the Colts coaching job and then changing his mind:

Boy the punches keep on rolling in. He didn’t even stay for a carrot dangled in front of him. He just stayed to stay. 

 

I really want to think this whole thing wasn’t just some elaborate setup designed as deflategate retaliation. 

 

But I can’t. I just * can’t. If I live for another 50 years I don’t think I’ll be able to ever say this wasn’t a setup to get back at us for deflategate. 

 

And I’m sure he and Ballard discussed draft and free agency strategy at some point. I’m sure McDaniels has walked away from this with more information than he needs. 

 

This is bad. This is real bad. Even if you didn’t want him as our coach this is bad.

I may not get any sleep over this article.

Too small a target. 

 

He doesn’t even have the balls to leave New England and coach Andrew Luck.

If you’re not worried you’re not paying enough attention. 

 

This isn’t just another coaching search now. We’re last at the buffet picking through the scraps. 

 

But it beyond that we’re not assembling a coaching staff. We’re forcing one together. 

 

Significant difference. We’re about to hire a coach and tell him “yeah these guys are here, can’t have your own, so yeah. Good luck.”

 

It’s hard to be successful as a coaching staff under those circumstances. 

 

Even if philosophies differ just a small bit it’s going to be magnified and compounded by the way it’s all coming together. 

 

We’re not looking at a pickle, we’re in the pickle. We’re deep in the pickle. 

Mike Tomlin went to Pittsburgh with the staff already intact worked out fine. 

 

Scraps? Unless you hiring a proven winning they're all scraps.

This is what happens when you try to get into bed with the Patriots. You catch herpes.

Sorry mods, I will stop for the night. Got to sleep on this. I am going to get myself in trouble if I keep going. We got pickles and mafia and bats being aimed.......

 

I am sensing Logan Airport is expecting a plane load of angry Hoosiers around midnight?

Did you really just compare this situation to Tomlin going to Pittsburgh taking over an already successful staff coming off a Super Bowl win?

 

Thats not even apples to oranges. Thats apples to horse turds.

Exactly!  Ballard had to learn the hard way.

[OffensivelyPC]

Unbelievable. It's hard to think this was anything but intentional. He better hope he succeeds Belichick, because it screams to 31 other teams that he is untrustworthy. What a fartknocker.

I never liked how it felt. The Colts dipping their toes into the Patriots swimming pool, just felt like all kinds of wrong.

Because it was.  Ballard coming over from Kansas City didn't know the level of hatred that organization has for us.  He thought he could deal with them just like any other team.  He was sadly mistaken...made a fool of even.  Hopefully he now realizes exactly what he is up against.

You’re right, it’s late and it’s been a long day. I forgot Cowher’s last season. 

 

But even still, Cowher had assembled a successful staff that had a history of working together.

 

That is not even remotely the situation here.

Yep even Grigson would be like "Chris, bro......lol what you doing pal?".

 

We even traded with them in the offseason too.

 

It got kinda weird. Too much tension between the organizations that won't die even though we started to suck.

Fair point, but leading a team of people one didn't hire is done successfully in business all over the world. The NFL,isn't a snowflake.

Yeah...lol  For as bad as Grigson was even he understood right away how evil New England is and dealt with them accordingly. 

 

"Wonder Boy" had to learn the hard way what any one indoctrinated into the Colts Nation knows all too well.  But I like Ballard...he stumbled a bit here but I think he is a smart dude and will ultimately get this franchise back on track.

Ballard is too nice. He has to learn the Pats always try to short change you on the street with a small bag when you paid for more.

I’ve hated him since he was a bronco!!! So glad this fell through!

Let's be honest.  

He never planned to come here.  

  

This was a planned sabotage of the Colts orchestrated by the football deflators themselves.

I got to get to bed finally when I am staring at pictures of Ryan Grigson.

 

Night all, better times coming. I think........

[NorthernBlue]

Really wish that matchup against NE next season was a home game. Let McDaniels have it. Really want this team to bash the Pats that game.

 

Seriously. Never has one of my favourite sports teams taken such a fat L, and yet I'm 100% behind them. I hope this lights a fire under the team. Not just Ballard, or the assistants he abandoned, but the players too. I hope Luck torches the league next season. Especially that team situated in Americas most irrelevant big city.

 

Let that smug visor wearing 6 pc chicken McNobody really regret making this decision.

 

God I'm angry .

Over something so petty...smh. I am no Grigson fan but he was 100% right to report to the NFL about the Pats cheating. 

 

Its truly bizarre that the Pats are upset about it still. If they weren't deflating balls, Grigson doesn't report it to the NFL. That simple.

 

I do hope Irsay/Ballard jump in and fight dirty against them now. They want to jump in the mud? Lets sling some at them too. I hope we don't hold back over what McDaniels did. Get in digs about it every chance we get. No holding back.

I like Rhule, and he's got his work cut out for him in Baylor, but how are you supposed to sell your fanbase from 'the top coaching candidate in the cycle' to someone whose coming off a 1-11 season?
