1.  Besides "draft day decisions" -  What was former Colts GM Bill Polian's BEST decision for the Colts franchise ??

 

Brought a steady, deliberate, unapologetic, winning attitude to the franchise.

 

2.  Besides "draft day decisions" - What was former Colts GM Bill Polian's WORST decision for the Colts franchise ??

 

Twofold answer

 

1a. Having TOO MUCH input on personnel decisions during the undefeated season.

1b. When the backlash came for the decision to forgo the undefeated season (and after years of making sure not to show any direct opposition toward fan sentiment) he lobbed the fans in with the media when he pushed back against the criticism. IMO that is when he lost the majority of fans and his diehard defenders (definitely when he lost me)...and after that, it was only a matter of time.

1- Tony Dungy

 

That was Irsay's call. Not Polian's.

[CanuckColt]

Why bother with any Polian questions?  Big Jim booted his underachieving tail out of here and saved the franchise.

The Polians were running it into the ground, especially with their last 4 years of incompetence and bad decisions.

Good riddance to Polian and his offspring Crissy.
