John Fox is a worse offensive mind than Reich and he loves to run the football more than Reich does.

The offense would be worse.

Brady would be OC still, so at least be a new mind trying to do stuff

You know what’s sad, I said 0-17 as a Joke in the last pre season prediction thread, usually I say 17-0… looks like this year I could be very close to actually getting one right

[JColts72]

That is a horrible idea. May as well suggest Norv Turner.  Colts needed Bruce Arians back then. 

[Indy87]

I want Frank fired and I could care less who takes over for him this year.

Won a Super Bowl. What has Ballard done?

Gotten a Free Pass.  He is so arrogant with his cheap FA purchases and not thinking needed WR; even Julio Jones would have been helpful with Matt. 

[JColts72]

Jimmy too loyal; may let season go to waste. Get rid of Ballard too.

Sorry u are wrong worse it can be is 0- 16 - 1

[Maniac53]

No thanks!! 

Do the firing at the end of season and definitely don't want Fox..

[a06cc]

I’m honestly glad to see the get rid of Ballard finally. Honestly what has he won? 

[John Hammonds]

The only reason to replace Reich with Fox is that he's In House.  It's not that he's an amazing coach.  He's just here already.  This isn't about a coaching search.  Let's say it:  This is about punishment for abject failure.

Not a fan of this idea. We (the Colts) need better means of evaluating potential coaches (and maybe other aspects of football, too). We don't have the skills in house.

[Happy2BeHere]

I’d let Blue run the team before Reich, at least he could hype up the guys with some of his antics.

Yeah true.   But my point stands, I’m not sure we win a game with Reich at the helm.

Our GMS from previous era forced QB early retirement looks like after today I would not be surprised if Ryan retires also

 

I just can't believe how badly Smith can suck after playing so well his rookie contract. I wonder was it Glow that was working out with him or is Pinter really struggling along with him. I am surprised we did not shuffle around our LG moved to LT to maybe keep Ryan up but I think most pressure applied to him was right side so maybe moved Pryor to right side and try Raimann or Nelson as LT when we were struggling that bad. I mean adjust during the game.

the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles when they won their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LII, he was not the head coach

Fox never called offense. He let the OC do his thing, something this team badly needs.

[GoColts8818]

I don’t think an interim coach is going to help especially when your options are Fox and Bradley.  Bradley was some how worse than Frank today and Fox isn’t going to help the offense and turning the offense over to an OC who hasn’t called plays at the NFL level with no other coach with that experience on the staff I think will make things worse actually.

Sadly I think we get no more than five wins.

[Colts1324]

I say we fire Bradley, Reich, & the offensive line coach.
 

Promote Marcus to play-calling duties & Reggie to Head Coach to ignite the fan base & he will at least fire up our players

.....I don't want to be HC. But I'll throw my hat in the ring to call plays.

Instead of Hines up the gut, what you guys think of Hines off-tackle??

Can Fox rush the passer? Can he cover a wr? Can he block the opposing Dline? Can he create seperation? If yes to all three then I am for it. I think making that move does little. Let's not forget, this D is not exactly lighting it up. I think he has more talent on D to work with than Frank has on the offence.

If not Fox...

Herm Edwards just became available.

Yeah and his OC were always run heavy.  I don't believe Fox will do a darn thing.

I voted for Frank to stick around for the season. But I don’t think Fox is as bad as you make him out to be. Peyton and Mike McCoy did their thing on their way to Peyton’s historical year with 55 TDs, that’s all and he obviously forced Peyton to “run a lot”.  Plus the year with Jake Delhomme with Muhsin Muhammad and Steve Smith, their offense was balanced. He was also quick to adapt with Tim Tebow to do what Tebow did best.

 

If anything, he adapts well. Peyton chose Broncos because of Fox, not because of Elway.

 

 

[Fluke_33]

Maybe this scenario is why he was hired in the first place

Although I am not in the Fox camp by a mile I chuckled at this because I thought How could it be worse.......

[BrazilColts]

It is still early in the season. Players are not executing as they should. The veterans just disappeared in getting their positions playing up to par.

Two Super Bowls two different teams.  Looks like he would be an upgrade to me.

Yep, no idea why people think Fox will be any better than Reich in 2022.
