Step 2: Fire Pagano

Step 3: Hire Peyton Manning to be vice president of football operations

Step 4: Hire someone (perhaps Polian) to be the GM for a couple of years until Peyton is ready to take over

Step 5: Hire Gruden

Dude. Me too. We could trade Curt Maggitt to Denver for Miller then lower his value through decreasing his Speed, Acceleration, Strength, Awareness, etc and sign him back for nothing!!!!! Then you could do the same with a bunch of other guys !!!!! LOL

If I can take the Browns to 19-0, I can handle the NFL.  Hire me, Irsay!

It'll likely be streamed live on Colts.com and on the Colts mobile app

Now that will actually be a good comparison.  I think Nicks was drafted about #30, and so was Dorsett.  Nicks had Eli and Dorsett Luck. 

Hakeem made significant contributions his first couple years. Dorsett has not

Absolutely. People making millions and billions are so financially stable that being fired is not near as big a deal to them

Listening to Dakich talk football... I feel like it's 1979 and I'm listening to some southern Indiana Hoosier who has seen two football games in his life attempt to discuss football.  

I really think it's much simpler than that . Notice he takes the opposite view of most   on most  everything and runs with it. Andrew Luck, Grigson . He likes the attention. I doubt he even believes half of what he says.

I'd imagine this is going to be a hostile enough presser with the reporters. There is so many questions that Jim needs to answer after these last few days. I want Jim to be transparent, in the decision and direction he wants to take this franchise, he owes his supporters that much.

Like @JohnMiddlekauff said, I've never seen this many current and former team players celebrate a GM's firing. In any sport.

Yes I can and that's why I have been in such support of this scenario. Colts would truly be a threat once again

I ran out of likes fast in this thread.

Best case scenario is PM and Shanahan or Raye and Shanahan. Not sure what keeping Pagano accomplishes . Clean house.

I would pass on #4.  I like Polian, but having listened since he retired, I think his time has passed.

Based on previous rumors/speculation it seems Irsay prefers a big name coach or what he describes as a Superbowl coach. At least that is the way Venturi described Irsay's mindset based on his experiencing working for him.

 

Even if Peyton is brought in I can totally see keeping Pagano around for another year while Peyton evaluates things.

 

It's also entirely possible that the relationship between Grigson and Pagano reached a breaking point where Irsay had to make a move. He might simply promote Jimmy to the GM spot and stick with Pagano.

 

I'm just glad the Colts are moving forward without Grigson. We will have answers on what Irsay's plan is soon enough.

We just need someone to act as a mentor to Peyton.  I thought Polian would be a good candidate because

a) he has history with Irsay and the Colts

b) his age is such that he wouldn't expect to be in Indy for years

c) he's one of the better GMs in NFL history

 

If we hire a GM, that person would probably expect to be there for the long term.  I doubt many people would want the job if they know they're going to be fired in a couple of years so Peyton can take over

[Yoshinator]

Also, props to Irsay. I trashed him and I apologize. I have to give him credit here. He was figuring out a plan and now he is going to execute it. Shame on me.

You just bring him on as a consultant....non-official title.  I don't see that happening but you never know.
