joo 2h Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I know dont know about you guys, but i think this is a great way to get the Media attention. The more the media write post and blogs on how badly the colts coaching staff has been the better. Maybe this will get the media to really rip the staff to get jim caldwell out the door.Even if its not in-season, but at the end of this season i do not want to see him back. And who knows, Chris might be able to take over his father bill, job as GM at the end of this season as well.This is how we the fans can make are voice herd. When Jim Irsay see this durning the game, im sure this will make him get the picture, Edited October 25, 2011 by joo 2h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfergson727 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I would actually buy a ticket and go to the game just to be part of the "Fire Caldwell!" chant. Let me know how many are involved and I'll start looking for tickets.Heck, it would fun to yell it in a public setting rather than me sitting in my living room, screaming it to Bob Lamey on the radio broadcast last sunday night.

It's their team and up to them to decide it's direction, as fans we just sit back and watch and enjoy. Overall fans opinions means very little in the overall operation of any sports team.

I think the view of JC by fans in general won't impact their decision to keep or let go of their seasons tickets or to purchase tix. I am finally going to be able to see a game this season and really don't care that JC is the coach and they are not playing well, going to an NFL game is an experience that only happens 8 times a year on average. Heck I drive round trip to cincy and back 4-5 times a year to see my Reds and I Hate, I mean really Hate their manager and GM, but it doesn't stop me from going.

sfergson727 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 While it's true that as fans, we don't have all the facts. However, we are not lemmings who blindly follow and cheer as we supposidly improve six inches at a time. Why on earth would you support the kind of product that we saw last Sunday? I love the Colts, but I won't pretend that it's okay that they got blown to bitty bits by the Saints. Kiss mod edit is not in my job description as a fan. If I am displeased, I will voice my opinion, loudly. I will not stare off in the distance and shout an uninspired Yea! as they lose by 50 plus points against the Titans next week.

The salaries are paid for by other means of income. Ticket sales are important, but TV revenue is much more important.Oh, absoulutely. But make no mistake, butts in the seats is a mearsure of the popularity of the team and its saleability to the TV coverages, and that IS a big deal. It impacts all other sales after revenue sharing. They work VERY hard to put fans in the seats.Lucas Oil Stadium seats roughly 65,000, 10 home games, $100 per seat avg. (prolly a little low). That comes out to about 65 mil. Pays about half the cap. Add parking, concessions, (about $40 per ticket) and total prolly comes to about 90 mil or so in-house income for the season. That's a pretty good start.toward covering expenses.Make no mistake they definitely want my mod edit in the seat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 While I certainly want him gone and he should be gone NOW but I think I would prefer he get fired AFTER the season. We are not going anywhere this year anyway so why screw up our great draft picks? If another coach comes in now and half knows what they are doing we might win 4-5 games and part of our only silver lining for this season gone or lessened anyway. If we are going to suffer through this nightmare season I want a little compensation next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you'd rather have the team continue to suck under the current regime just so you can get cheap tickets? Season ticket holders make a big investment in the team. It doesn't mean that the team should always win but they should at least put a good product out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just don't sit well with me personally but HC is a brutal position ... do what u gotta do by all means fellow Colts fansI agree...I couldn't do it either. I want the man gone but not to the point of being personally involved in his public humiliation. The team that's being fielded is public humiliation enough. I also agree with most that chances are no coaching changes will be made mid-season but if they decided to I don't think it would be the mistake many people make it out to be except in the regard that we'd be limited on our options. So it all comes down to who they are willing to consider for the position. However, if they were to decide they definitely want one of the veteran coaches (Gruden, Cowher, Billick, Fisher etc) and they were able to bring him in mid-season then no, that probably won't affect the number of wins/losses but it would give the new coach a huge head-start on player evaluation and determining how to change/modify the offensive and defensive schemes to fit around the talent we have. It would also give them a head-start in determining what type of new talent and at what positions we need to focus on in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
