[You Be The Head Coach]

Fire the entire coaching staff, cut painter, give orvlosky first team reps through the bye week. show some emotion on the sidelines and get the team fired up about not going 0-16. Bench addai. Brown / Carter get the start. Do a complete 180 on the play calling from both sides of the ball. Blitz. So much more...

I couldn't agree more...except I would still do nothing at this point for the same reason why nothing was done up until this point.

its obvious Polian is shooting the moon - and he has to because so many teams are 2-8. I almost have to agree with the plan now...a plan that Bill Parcells called the colts out on national tv in the first week of the season. The funny part is that Caldwell wasn't in on the plan, hes just that bad.

[Get Well Wishes For Peyton]

I'm still a fan since Baltimore. You made it worth still being a fan.

Get better and thanks for all the hard work...and the great football.

[Did Everyone Hate The Coaches 2 Years Ago?]

hate is strong word. hate requires emotion. something ironically that caldwell lacks. I will use the word disdain. I have enough disdain for Caldwell to register for these forums.

When Dungy retired - I told anyone that would listen - "the colts wouldn't win another super bowl - even with Peyton Manning". I did the math. Bad Front office leaves bad coach in 2-4 years...by the time he is replaced Franchise QB is 38 or so... not to mention failure to change defense schema and personnel through draft (with the exception of Hughes).

When Dungy got here we had Edge and Manning firing on both cylinders of a balanced offense. All Tony had to do was implement his tampa -2 with a decent cast of characters ( luckily we had Freeney and Mathis). Since he was here however the running game went south and nothing has been done to get it back. (Front office)

Since Dungy's departure we have been running on his fumes. Which would get us to XLIV, but not the W.

Those fumes are gone now and apparently we are running on empty.

My peeve is that our "next man up" mantra is really "Next man up... if Caldwell says so". Caldwell says he decides who plays, so then this can be blamed on him not the Front Office.

Anthony Gonzalez was apparently healthy when he was asked to step aside (go on IR) in 2010 if you believe the rumors.

Dominic Rhodes was brought back (star of our worst running attack ever) when D. Brown and M. Hart were hurt in 2010...Apparently Javarris James wasn't "the next man up". Horrible avg per carry but he seemed to be getting better. He at least can find the hole.

Yes, I predicted if Manning got hurt we wouldn't win 3 games with Curtis Painter and yes, I have said Curtis doesn't deserve to wear Bert Jones' jersey number (7) but I still would have let Darren Orlovsky play before going and getting Kerry Collins.

Caldwell lacks the passion and the experience to win in the NFL.
