Nah, probably didn't want to potentially throw anyone under the bus or out anyone. Just said texts coming in that the players liked it.

This will be interesting. 

Hopefully Jim doesn't go into babbling mode where he's jumping all over the place.

Curious to see Ballard's demeanor.

I guarantee Ballard won't be laughing.

What do they love?  The firing by itself?   Or the fact that it was followed up by Saturday being named interim HC? 

I think hiring Satursay is a good move. If he is successful, I think he would probably keep most of the defensive staff and the scheme. He would keep Reggie and would look for an OC. I think Strausser is gone but correct me if I am wrong didn't Saturday play more of zone scheme on the Oline?

I am quite interested to see how Saturday carries himself 

[JColts72]

If Ballard stays and hope not; look for KC connection with Eric.

Nice!

[Zoltan]

I hope someone asks “how Saturday got chosen with zero experience over other coaches on the team that do have head coaching experience” and how do you think players will view bringing in a tv analyst to be the head coach

Great question, but expect softball questions; easy and no heat.

And now it's changed to 8

[1959Colts]

Colts delay press conference to 8:00 p.m. ET

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/11/07/colts-delay-press-conference-to-800-p-m-et/

 

...What if Saturday pulls a quasi-Josh McDaniels, realizing that a man with no college or pro coaching experience has no business walking through the door as the head coach? That’s not impossible. What if the exiting coaching staff has given owner Jim Irsay an ultimatum, threatening to resign rather than be part of a potential farce?

 

What if they’re trying to nail down a new playcaller, since they currently don’t have one? There’s been speculation about ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky taking the job. What if the Colts are negotiating with him?...

Kevin Bowen has shown he will get into it with Ballard at least. 

[IinD]

These guys must be pre-gaming it up good to keep pushing the time back

This is all super weird. I wonder if it’s something as simple as Jeff’s flight getting delayed.

 

If not I wonder if there’s something going on with Ballard. Before all this, Jeff had been really critical of the Colts personnel decisions. Rightfully so though.

If anything, it's definitely going to win over some loyal fans of the good ol' days!

Maybe they'll be more prepared for this than the team on any given Sunday.

Probably put more time into this game plan than all season combined so far

[Jackie Daytona]

Softball questions?  From Holder....sure.  

 

If Doyle is there?  He's an * but he won't lob softballs ....

 

Bowen is not a jerk but will do his job ....

 

Kravitz..... Eh....he follows everyone else's lead

I still say that one decision indirectly began the end of Andrew Luck for this franchise.  

 

You have two guys in the GM and HC who were on thin ice trying to do everything to win football games in the 2016 season.  No one was the adult in the room and told Andrew he is not playing unless his right shoulder is pain free and told him to get the surgery done on his right shoulder.  

[BlueShoe]

Bounced again. 
 

The new time is 8:00 pm EST. 
 

Thats 7:00 pm for folks who follow the most reasonable time zone of CST. 

[AKB]

looks like its been postponed to 8 

[Defjamz26]

Twitter feed is wild right now. No one knows what the heck is going on.

Same for me. I just flew back in from France earlier this afternoon and I’m fighting to stay awake to watch.

I don't see the problem with JS named HC.

 

Maybe Irsay recognizes that with a crappy oline and Sam at Qb, does it really matter who the coach is?  People are taking this move way to seriously.

 

Actually, with about $40M tied up in olinemen, what I would want to know if I was him, is what is going on with Nelson, Smith, and Kelly.  Are their problems the coaching or are they health or attitude related.  Was Frank telling management the truth about them,...covering for them....or was Frank the problem.

 

Getting to the bottom of the oline problems...personal performances...is more important than winning games, IMO.
