been a fan a long time rookie I'm not a genius such as your self I believe I'll give the New Colts Head Coach time to do something before I form an intelligent opinion on whether or not he's a loser .

IMO he is 1 of 32 in the World hardly a Loser .

 

At this point all Colts fans should be excited since 1984 our Cardiac Colts have taken us on one hell of a ride its not always looked pretty but us HOMERS have drank the Kool - Aid If you can't feel the optimism it says more about you who's goggles are cutting off circulation to the BRAIN ??

 

To that I say dude your paddeling with 1 oar if you think you can some how  look into your crystal ball & see the future  , Take a seat grab some popcorn & get over your self .

 

I know I might just be a rookie on this site but I’ve been a colts fan for 20 years.  I don’t like where the Colts are right now. I’m allowed to have that opinion as a fan. I’m not going to blindly drink the kool aid and say everything is amazing when it’s not. I hope I am wrong, I hope Reich turns into the next hall of fame coach but I’m not going to just lie and pretend it’s the best hire ever when I don’t feel that way.  The sad truth is one of us is going to be right, one of us is going to be wrong and only time will tell.

[RomanianColtsFan]

I wonder if he said to Ballard when he was  offered the job, “Well Chris I got bad news man.....Just kidding”

Dominic Rhodes came up with the game plan and called the plays and ran the defense to lead us to a Chamionship? Interesting. I thought he only ran the ball when called upon.

As long as he runs a tight ship, instills discipline, works them hard in practice, etc...I don't care how he acts.

Oh I don't know let's see... Not fiery but Calm and thoughtful.. are we trying to re-build a football team here or getting a pass if we forget to send Momma a mother's day card... Jeez, you all just don't get it. EVERY person on this forum year in and out complain about lack of heart and passion in the intensity of play and the guy who gets hired has the personality of plastic plant...

Priority #1 is protecting Luck physically.  If we can have an actual, real running game like they had in Seattle when they were successful, it would certainly help.

Well. Reich was a QB in the NFL So he knows the importance of protecting the QB.

So many on this site think there genius of course its all fine & dandy to have an opinion we all have one .

Actually I'm just a Bricklayer not Colts GM & my opinion carries no weight & my job is'nt in evaluating NFL Coaches or players I leave that to the professionals .

 

So our opinions right or wrong are forgivable because we are mere mortals nothing more .

Nope, but he executed it to perfection

I don't get why that is a bad thing. I guess Bill Cowher is the best ever because he spit in everyones face and yelled for 15 years but yet he only won 1 SB with REF help even . Dungy was a better a Coach than spit face yeller but I don't think Dungy is on BB's level, he was better than Cowher though who yelled for no reason.

And that right there is why the Colts will never win multiple championships, if any at all,  if the team feels the same way you do.

Couldn't agree with you more.  You have an opinion and I have an opinion.  They happen to be different but neither of us are experts and only time will determine who is right.

This team never missed heart and passion. Chuck had the lockerroom until the very end. What this team missed was a competent coach and staff that kept the players accountable, that improved the acquired players, a coach that had great preparation and planning for game-day, a coach who could adjust and counter what opponents were doing in-game. You know... the coaching type of stuff... 

 

We don't need someone to just be loud and fiery without any substance behind it.

Ugh....

It isn’t your opinion that’s being questioned, it’s your over the top negativity.  Want to guess how many Super Bowl champion coaches had been fired from previous coaching jobs?   It’s what happens in pro sports.  Nobody cares about not liking Reich.  Although it’s an odd position to take before he’s done anything as a HC, we all know you’re entitled to that position.  But the constant sky is falling hysteria and extremism is exhausting to read and is, to be honest, a mentally lazy thing to spew out.   How about we see how things play out.  How about we get through his opening presser at least, huh?

Yeah, I don't think thats true at all. 

[Archer]

Very happy.  Even though I was trying really hard, i was unable to stomach McDouchiels...

[Yoshinator]

I can get behind this. Best of the candidates IMO. Lets move on and see what happens in FA and the draft. At least we have someone now.

While I find Cowher overrated myself he didn't get a franchise QB until near the end of his Steelers tenure. He got to the SB with Neil O'Donnell of all people.

 

People seem to underestimate that while a good coach is important if you don't have a QB that matters it only goes so far.

Your use of absolutes is amazing.   The truth is that neither you nor Andrew86 have any clue if this is a good or bad hire.  Why don't you just let it play out and just because the head coach is not a screamer does not mean the team is not passionate.

Rhodes didn't win us the SB. It was a complete team effort and Peyton called a perfect game like he did vs Carolina, we ran the ball when great opportunities were there, Peyton seen those. Our Defense and Peyton not screwing it up with Turnovers won the SB. Mr T could've been the RB in SB 41 and we still would've won.

[John Waylon]

I’m gonna wait until he’s on the sidelines in September to believe it. 

 

You know, just to be sure.

That's true and obviously, Ballard liked what he heard and I have trust in Ballard.
