Because we are 1 play away from this season happening again. Overhaul the whole offense.. Put in something simple like a WCO.. Peyton would master it, and substandard QB's can be more efficient in it. Clyde isn't the reason our offense has been good over the years, and his offenses in Tampa were a key reason Dungy was fired there.

Peyton makes our offense efficient, otherwise it is very inefficient.

As long as Peyton is able, I just don't see him allowing any changes in the offense. He has shown that when working it is unstopable and I just think unless we change QB we are looking at the same style of offense under Peyton.

Peyton is a player. He doesn't have to allow changes in the offense.

Also, the offense has not be unstoppable. It was running on fumes in 2008 and 2010, and 2009 still wasn't that great on the ground. Our offense needs a lot of work, even with Peyton Manning. The run game is coming along, but we need to polish some things up.

We also need to be prepared for life after Manning. This year should teach us that much, at least.

I do not follow the NFL long enough (just 5 or so years) to be able to name proper coaches but the next one (next season!) definitely has to have the following characterics:

a ) defensive-minded

b ) enthusiastic

We finally need someone who can clean up the defensive mess that Polian called "working" the other day. And we definitely need someone who does not turn into a pillar of salt as soon as the whistle blows. From what I've heard, read and seen from Fisher so far I think that he would be a good fit - especially if Manning comes back!

Cheers from Germany!

I'd say you'd be a great fit for GM. You have an idea what a good coach does!

Say hi to Germany for me.

#1. Hes on the hot seat

#2. His contract is up after the year

#3. He is an AMAZING DC

So why not get this guy? The defense was great when he was with the giants. Heck, the rams D hasn't even been that bad. If he is available, i say pick him up for DC, Jim Tressel as HC

I think at this point neither Polian nor Irsay have decided. I think come the end of the season, all three men will sit down and discuss the past season, what happen, why it happen and what is needed to not repeat or even come close to a losing season. I think then Polian and Irsay may see what other options are out there and then wait to see what the final word on Peyton is before making a final call on Caldwell. Since there really isn't any rush, I don't think we will see a Monday firing the day after the Jax game.

just like Caldwell. Its the same as when we avoid going into free agency for players unless its an emergency. All i hear is...Spagnoulo? Fisher? Todd Haley? Unless of course the whole organization is fired...lol. I wonder if Caldwell is going to get demoted or just straight out fired. It would really suck to be him because i dont think anyone will hire him after...

No Polian has a huge ego, trust me my family has had to deal with him with family issues.

And yet they co-existed on the competition committee, with both persons alternating as the chair.

You can have ego as long as you have mutual respect, which there is between Fisher and Polian.

They probably do, but there is a huge difference in working with someone on a committe and being someone's boss.

Of course, usual names for coaches on the hot seat; Spags, Raheem, Norv, Andy. He actaully indicated that Caldwell needs a win or two to probably save his job. What are we in; Bizarro World here. Caldwells hot seat should be on high temperature.

Chargers will probably win out, make the playoffs somehow and save his job as usual. Caldwell's seat should have burned up by now he's sitting on the floor. How could a win or two possibly save his job?

The actual contract status right now of Caldwell may play against him. With only 1 year left, it is easier for Irsay to eat that final year, it's tough for any coach no matter how well or poorly the team is playing to be coaching in the final year of his contract with no guarnetees of a renewel. So it could end up just being his contract that brings to an end the Caldwell era and not so much the play of the team...

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.

      You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.

      They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash.

      Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.

      Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light.
