Wishful Thinking


LUVTHESHOE

As most of you know I am not a huge supporter of coach Caldwell, nice guy, poor coach, imo. But for those of us who want a change there could be a silver lining. I heard on nfl network they were saying that there is going to be no less than 5 head coaching openings(colts included they said) which leads me to believe that we will have a new coach anyway, because with that many teams needing a quality coach that is as good as Polian tells us he is, and he last 31 game record would indicate. I can only imagine that there is no way we can afford him with all those teams bidding for is services.SO THERE IS HOPE.

Anyhow I feel sorry for Caldwell. He maybe not a bad coach, but he couldn't treat absence of Manning.

We should be careful with wishing. Who should be our next HC? There are several names:

Jeff Fisher?

Andy Reed?

Tony Dungy, returning from his rocking chair?

Someone else? A coach from NCAA?

IMO there are only few trainer capable to coach a team with a caliber like Colts.

I guess I kinda feel bad for Caldwell... I feel worse for the players and mostly my self the fan... He is without a doubt being replaced.. I think that's been established with the 0-11 record... I know a colts organization we are nice and all that good stuff... We can be the nicest team to not win a game in history... I'm not happy... We need change all across the board... Offense..defense...special teams... Luck won't make the defense better, wont make the play calling better.. Won't make the special teams better... We need real change.. Change in attitude.. Change in scheme... Even if manning comes back.. The era is over..

    • I thought the Celtics would take game 4. They didn't play up to their usual standards. The Mavericks could make this interesting with another win or two. 
    • AR has similar if not superior physical traits of AL and I just saw something on his ability to recall is similar to PM.  
    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.
