  1. Caldwell is as good as gone. I do not understand why Irsay just did not fire him because everyone knows he is gone. He has stuck the knife in and just keeps twisting it on Caldwell.

    I am sure Irsay has someone in mind because you do not fire the Polians and just run into this blind. He probably has an idea who he wants to look at for the GM and the HC position.

    I am surprised by how many people are actually surprised by the Polians being fired. My Facebook and Twitter was blowing up with people who were shocked and did not see it coming. As much as Bill has done for this team during his tenure here the blood of this season was on his and Chris's hands. They were the architects of this team and when it came tumbling down this year they must carry a ton of blame for the season.

    I think most of the fans weren't surprised.

    Interesting Caldwell's situation, he is still under evaluation...anything may happen, but I hope Mr. Irsay won't forget to sweep out this corner too.

  2. I agree with You, but this time when things are stirred up, everything is uncertain. Thing depends on person of new GM, IMO Irsay and new GM will fire or hire Caldwell for next season. New GM's philosophy and person of new HC (possible the coaching staff) will also affect our strategy at the draft.

    I'd like to see Manning and Luck at the Colts, but now is the time to think this over.

  3. I don't think it was a sudden decision IMO, Irsay was preparing to take necessary measures, he just waited until the end of regular season. I think he has names to call, and we will have a new GM soon.

    Based on Mr. Irsay's statement, Caldwell's future hasn't been decided yet, and this statement also told me that the final decision will be made with the new GM.

  4. He said on the radio tonight he was going to start making phone calls for the new GM. With that said he also said if he wants a guy on a team in the playoffs and he has to wait to talk to that person he will. He made a big point about it's more important to get the right guy than to rush on this. It might cost us Fisher but after listening to him tonight It sounds like he's leaning towards youngers less experienced people and who knows they might very well keep Caldwell this season not unlike what the Browns did a couple of years ago.

    Honestly, I'm not against Jeff Fisher, but would like to see a younger talented and proven guy as HC. I don't know who is available for us this off season. I think new waves are in NFL, so we have to develop our play schemes and managing methods too. I don't know keeping Caldwell would be a good start, but this is up to Mr. Irsay and new GM.

  5. What in blazes does a terrible coach have to do with your QB? Get a non-inept coach regardless whether we have Manning, Luck, Orlovsky, Painter *shiver*, WHOEVER under center.

    Come on, Irsay. Right the ship. -_- Not showing the Polians the door is bad enough but if you are seriously considering keeping Caldwell I fear for the long term future of this franchise.

    Ask Mr. La Canfora and Mr. Lombardi.

    They think Colts can win with Caldwell and Manning but cannot with Caldwell and Luck.

  6. Maybe Irsay took the 3 men in the room (both Polians and Caldwell) and looked at Caldwell and said, did Polian give you the tools to succeed or did he micromanage you in every aspect? When Caldwell answers with, "he gave me all the doughnuts I wanted, is that what you mean Jim? No, I meant did he tell you who to play and how to play them? Oh that, well yeah but he told me from the get go this is how it will go, he is the vice prez, HC and darn near the owner but.... Ok Jim, Bill, Chris, get your stuff and submit your keys to the secretary at the front office tomorrow. Oh and take your puppet with you, I left a weeks supply of white powdered doughnuts at the desk when your keys are returned. Caldwell runs full sprint with keys in hand to the front office and is never seen again.

    Normally these three men should have been taken in that room at half of the season. At least for making an emergency talk.
