Option for now? His players are giving no effort.

[coltsfan_canada]

There is no option for Yes leave him with Doug at Jax.

sorry had to fix it quick

[CoachLite]

Yes, but before he gets on the plane home.

[AKB]

sorry guys had to edit the options quick, didnt have an option for yes, right now. 

lets just call it a season and make Reggie Wayne interim head coach

[Smonroe]

I’d say yes but who takes over? Gus? Is he really any better?

John Fox head coach

Marcus Brady OC (Play caller)

 

[joecolts]

Before they leave the locker room.  Ballard as well.

Fixed it for you.

[luv_pony_express]

I’m not a fan of firing coaches mid-season.  And especially not after 2 games.

 

Today’s game was a disaster, obviously.  We’ve basically looked awful our last 4 games.  But I’m not ready to blow up the season.

 

That said, this team needs to make a miraculous turnaround if Reich (and/or Ballard) are going to be back next season.

did you see the camera angle of Fox and Bradley seemingly disagreeing on the sideline? 

[stitches]

Wait for the end of the season IMO.  Unless you are in danger of losing on the next HC you want to hire...

I think the second part of your post is the spot people are focusing on. It isn't just a 2 game thing, these problems we are seeing with play calling and personell usage, and going for it in certain situations is the same garbage we've been seeing with Reich since Andrew's 1-5 start. 

[NewColtsFan]

Doesn’t matter what I want.   We are a complete mess.   And I believe we have three weeks to turn it around.   The 5th game is on a short week, a Thursday game.   If we’re 0-5 or 1-4 I think Irsay makes a change.  
 

That would give Bradley or Fox 10 days of prep for wk #6 which is the second J’Ville game.   If we’re trying to salvage this season, that is the first real window of opportunity. 
 

Terrible game.   Bad as it gets. 

[danlhart87]

He won't get fired this early 

[SurfinKal]

Yes he should. They brought Fox in as a consultant (which to me was a strategic move by Ballard) so let him take over HC duties. If Fox gets something out of this team, Ballard can go to Irsay and say "see, it was all Franks fault". Just to add to my Fox conspiracy theory; Ballard has players that feed him locker room info and after last year he was told that the locker room leadership isnt happy with Frank so he brought in Fox as a golden parachute. 

[IinD]

I say just keep him and get a top pick next year.

 

Even if we 'get things together' a little bit at some point in the season we aren't winning jack with our so called weapons and swiss cheese oline.

So, are you saying he might fall from a hospital window?

I don't want them to salvage the season. This team is not good enough for this season to be worth saving. We need to be as bad as possible. Put Shaq on IR for the season and let him recover fully for next season. Play the young guys... all of them... a ton!

I was also thinking this loss means Leonard might not be back next week. Why risk his health when the offense isn't competent? 

[strt182]

Has Frank game a post game interview yet? Ryan just gave his on Wish TV usually its the coach first . I got home late so could this be a sign?

Because people's jobs are on the line... that's precisely why they IMO are more likely to actually rush him back than to keep him away. Until we are mathematically out IMO this Colts brass will want to win as many as possible. Hell, maybe even after that... 

[Bravo]

ED DODDS FOR GM ALSO

if they rush a players health to save someone's job, that is super shady.

Yeah he did.

He said things are not as bad as they look and he thinks they are actually close to where he wants them to be... or something to that effect. .. 

 

Here... I found it...

It would be really remarkable if Frank would rather risk being fired than delegating the play-calling duties.

 

Doing that may not fix our problems.  But, if it didn’t, then we could at least eliminate it from the discussion.

 

Surely people inside the building know this is an ongoing issue…and it’s not something that only gets discussed in fan forums.

good post.

almost mentioned too!

have a few theories lol... 

 

 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

He needs to be fired now before we start to win a few games and starts resembling a competent coach. 

Now is our opportunity to be rid of him.

That's how I feel as well. A little rally at some point in the season doesn't mean much. They barely are competing against division rivals who aren't juggernauts, they ain't beating teams like KC,buff etc.

 

Let them bottom out.
