So, is the Jeff Saturday experiment over yet?

Woods is my least favorite of those guys.  Clunky is a good description, but excessively tall guys can be that way, RAS score aside.  I think there were better all around TEs in the draft but Woods had the best RAS profile and was Ballard's target it sounds like.  Ballard was going to pick him a round higher but opted for Pierce.  I think Pierce can be a good X,,,more physical than Pitt.

yes Pierce is the only keeper so far and Woods is showing that he has a place on this team. Taylor, Pittman and Campbell can and/or cannot be signed as that is fine with me.

Kinda what I was thinking with Pierce and a reason why I think we should deal Pittman and save the cap space.

I just dont think Pittman is a #1 receiver. I like him but i wouldnt pay him #1 money. 

Im hoping Saturday is not the coach

No no no you don’t understand. I have it on good authority this was just an evaluation period. That’s all. Jeff was never trying to win games. The only way he could properly evaluate players is by keeping the same losing scheme and players in place and change nothing (sarcasm fyi).

If Irsay had given him a clean slate and hired him after the season he might of had their respect. He could of hired his own coordinators ect. But Irsay made a big blunder.

Think of it this way. If u worked in a business and a promotion came up and that owner

That’s been my biggest complaint. We gained absolutely nothing by firing frank mid season. He needed to go for sure but at the end of the season.

We actually did gain something as hard as it may seem. We probably get a few more wins which means we miss out on a QB again. So even though we got worse in the end it might work out for the better.

It only will if we succeed in getting a good pick and good HC to go with it. Given Irsay’s history as well as Ballard, I’m not terribly confident either will succeed.

Yeah Irsay's history only has Polian, Dungy, Manning and Luck in it. He also had a long running history of winning a whole bunch of games. 

Your narrative is dead wrong.

What would you guys think about Jim Caldwell. He might be able to reset the culture in the locker room. 

I like him.  My son actually had a try out with the Detroit Lions and said he was a very good man. Oh but right . He's not a yeller and screamer cause that's what we need lol.

Now that I think about it he is a little old. He is 67.

 

I want someone like Dan Campbell. Players would run through a brick wall for him.

Polian was responsible for Manning. Grigson was responsible for Luck. I’ll concede Dungy though that too may have been Polian.

 

Irsay cut Manning when he had two good years left. Irsay hired Grigson, who outside of the aforementioned Luck was terrible. Since parting ways with the Polians, we’ve not had the levels of success we’ve enjoyed previously.
 

And if you wanna give Irsay credit for Dungy, then you have to give him fault for Pagano, Caldwell, Mora, and Frank.

 

And that’s just from the Manning era forward. Shall we look at his football success/failure rate prior to that? Or have I made the point clearly enough?

You are ridiculously negative.  If you dislike him so much why be a fan of his team?

I dislike him when he inserts himself too heavily into football operations. That’s what GMs are for.

 

It’s because I am a fan of this team that I am critical of him. Don’t mistake blind loyalty for a virtue.

Virtue? You take yourself and your Fandom way too serious. The NFL is a rich man's game that you, me nor anyone else has any power or control of. Getting bent out of shape over something you have no say so in is a waste of time.

You’re the one getting all heated cuz I disagree with a billionaire.

We need to pray that Dallas makes a good run and the Chargers win a game to take them off the list for Sean Payton.  Then turn around and draft his QB of choice and let them grow.  No doubt that Payton would give that QB a direct line to Brees to pick his brain on running Sean’s offense.  That’s the dream scenario. 
 

The nightmare scenario is Irsay feeling guilty about attaching the moniker of “worst interim coach in football history” to Jeff’s legacy and brings him back so he can try to salvage both of their reputations.  Just give Jeff a front office position and get the right coach in here Mr Irsay.

 

Under the dream scenario, Irsay could quietly say Jeff was brought on to ensure the tank to make sure we got the right QB. Even if it isn’t true and he wanted Jeff to succeed.

To the OP's question. I sure hope so. I am very worried Irsay has lost it lately though and is going to do something brain dead like let Jeff coach next season.

I hope I'm not jinxing this by saying this but I doubt it. Saturday was a PR move. And really Reich had to go, he was terrible. 

 

But clue people, we are not getting Harbaugh or Payton. Time to acknowledge reality.

Spot on. There are a few on here that wear blinders when it comes to discussing Irsay, the dysfunctional owner.

Exactly. He's become a loose cannon. I doubt a top notch coach or GM would want to come to Indy because of him.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
