too late, you're already dead.
How am I dead? Because I refuse to "buy into" the idea that the world is ending and that uniformed fans have a better understanding of job positions, duties and such? We are fans...we cheer or boo and that is our job to think we have any insight into what goes on in the day to day operations of a pro football team is laughable....

That's a terrible excuse to play 5-7 yds off receivers every play for the whole season and wonder why we can never get off the field on 3rd down
Why is that a terrible excuse? That is the style of defense we built, you can disagree with chosing that style, but results would say different...
-
You may not know why the brakes failed...but if a major car manufacturing plant (or pro sports team) had brakes that went out on car after car after car (embarrassing losses week after week)...well, the Plant Supervisor (head coach) would definitely be fired....And if after replacing the Plant Supervisor, the same problems kept coming up again and again, then the Plant Manager (GM/Polians) would be fired....and if these problems werent fixed, the plant would either close/go out of business, or move to a new location.
The Colts have one embarrassing loss, not losses. 2nd I would agree but not game after game, especailly when you have been producing quality previous. It would be looked at as a fluke, defect in the material you had and the hope you can relocate a better supplier next time you buy parts.

If Caldwell is not fired or demoted at the end of the season, then end is near for this franchise.....
Really? and how would that be?
-
There is no fair way to determine, we don't know all the factors on why Player X is here and why Player Y isn't or why Player Z is playing while Player A isn't. Without all the facts you can't make a valid opinion.
-
They should already be fired. They made this team that already looks like it's been gutted.
Should the Bears GM be fired because their QB and RB went down and didn't prepare for that and since that happening the Bears have played worse football then the Colts?
-
Without an NFL caliber QB you aren't going to go all the way...
...But the Bears dragged REX GROSSMAN to the Superbowl. It's amazing what a good overall team can do.
I feel Orlovsky is potentially better than Grossman, while Painter is probably about as bad, We're 1-13 so yes, this TEAM is a failure. From the front office/coaches to a good chunk of the "talent" we field.
Sorry but Dan is not on the level of Rex...Rex isn't great, but he is an NFL caliber QB.
-
Just my opinion, I think Jim Caldwell is a great guy, just not a good head coach. I believe he got to the super bowl his first year via Tony D's leftover team. This team has too much talent to have a season like this. If Jim still has his job after this year, then he was following orders to tank the season in order to get a draft pick for Payton's successor.
As like auto racing, you can have a great car, if you have no one to drive it you are not going to be successful, no matter how good the car is. Without a NFL caliber QB you are not going to win...Just go ask the Bears...
-
Rewarding Caldwell for a 1-15, 2-14, or even a 3-13 season is stupid. How can one forget that he led an 0-13 team and it took a miracle run by Brown to solidify that one victory.
1 miracle run? Really? Did you not watch how the defense dominated TN all day long?
-
through 13 games we have scored 13 points in the 1st quarter...LACK of PREPARATION or MOTIVATION.
through 13 games we have scored 16 points in the 3rd quarter...LACK of ADJUSTMENTS or MOTIVATION
This week we can add a field goal in the 1st quarter and one TD scored by the offense in the 3rd quarter.
questions?
No lack of anything outside of talent. the effort is there, the motivation is there, you just don't want to see it.
-
After seeing Jim Caldwell this season and how he allowed the defense to be called game after game he should be fired for that alone. If the colts retain JC after this season I will seriously question this franchises will to win, with or without Peyton Manning
If you have X type of players that play X style of defense, and you have almost zero ability to change out those players then exactly what do you want the coach to do?
-
You may not know how to do the job, but you can absoulutely see and evaluate the RESULTS.
You don't have to know how to build brakes on a car, but you darn sure know when they don't work.
But you may not know why the brakes failed, what part of the brakes failed? You make an opinion based of limited information. You have zero information on why Caldwell has done the things he has done, or what style of personality he is or how he relates to his players or what his players think of him as a coach. There are a ton of things that go into evaluation of a job performance...you have just 1 thing.
-
I keep reading where some people state that Caldwell is staying. I would honestly like to see specifics that the Colts have changed since Tony Dungy left that would prove he is a great coach. Instead of arguing over nothing, let us try to figure this out like an administrator. What has Caldwell done to justify keeping him?
When it comes down to it, the way a coach is viewed as good is how the team does. right now Caldwell's record is 27 wins and 22 losses. That is over .500, so he is a good coach...
-
What would you know about logic? Other than it is a 5 letter word.
Simple...there is zero chance that anyone posting on this forum has the knowledge or understanding of what is involved in either the GM position or HC position of an NFL team. To claim a person doesn't know how to do his job or isn't doing it right without all the facts is just not logical.
-
Who cares ....
-
Are you seriously comparing Caldwell to Tomlin? Wow! 1 post and you have already lost credibility.
Why because he dare challenge the massess with some logic?
-
And what is the source of your knowledge? You don't mind expressing your opinions so it would be interesting to know.
My source? Well lets see I have not judged someone's ability in a position for which I have no day to day knowledge or information, what I have done is question those who think that because they watch the team they know what is going on and what should happen and can do a better job.

Before Sunday's win, there were close to 3000 tix available on Stub Hub for this Thursday's night game...now there is less then 800. So either alot of those people who had their tix's up for sale pulled them off, or a big tix buy has happened since our win....could be a near full house on Thursday...surprising what 1 win will do...
-
You must watch the games just to look at the pretty blue horseshoes on the helmets and the cheerleaders...
Cald(not)well is NOT a motivator or a coach that can make decent halftime adjustments.
I find it interesting how "Joe Fan" knows so much from watching his TV.....
-
He's not playing, BP stated yesterday the Doc's won't clear him....There will be NO Peyton this season folks...move on.
-
3 years of watching him!
Wow...really?
-
I think with the Sunday win, the strong performance in NE and signs that this team has not packed it in is what it will take for Polian and Irsay to have Caldwell stay on staff. If you ask Tony D, he will be back. At this point I see no reason to make a change, allow Caldwell his 4th season on his contract, hope you get Manning back healthy and see what happens. I think many have overreacted a bit this season.
-
^^^
THIS!!!
Caldwell, as we have all seen, is NOT a motivator and is unwilling to make changes "on the fly".
Really, and you know this how?
-
With how well they played in NE, yesterday's win pretty much secures Caldwell return. Both Polian and Irsay might make some small other coaching changes but I think both will allow Caldwell another season hopefully with a healthy Petyon to see what happens.
How Would Fans Handle....

I just wonder, with everyone here, or most here wanting Jim Caldwell fired at seasons end and most of the coaching staff....what would these same fans think or do if Peyton Manning comes out and says he wants Jim Caldwell back next year as his coach and trusts him with leadership of this franchise...
