Indianapolis Colts Fire Jim Caldwell

PrintThe Indianapolis Colts have finally made the decision that they should have made months ago. They have relieved Jim Caldwell of his head coaching duties. It was pretty clear that Caldwell was in over his head when Peyton Manning was the quarterback. There isn't even a term to describe what he was this past season.
It makes me pretty sad that the Colts did not decide to keep Caldwell. He was a terrible coach, and it was going to be a good thing for the Titans if he stayed as the head coach.
It will be interesting to see where they go from here. They are obviously going to take Andrew Luck with the first pick in this year's draft, so much like the Jaguars, you would think that the Colts would look to bring in a young, bright offensive mind to pair with Luck.
The turnover in coaches in the AFC South is pretty crazy. Mike Munchak, entering his second year as a head coach, is now the second longest tenured head coach in the division. It is going to be really interesting to see how it all plays out.

The Colts don't know what they are doing.
Didn’t they resign Caldwell a little while ago then just fired him?
Interesting.

BBS was probably too busy trying to put an anti-Polian spin on it.

Caption should read.

Don't they have to collect something first?

Oh man, that would just be fantastic if it came to pass.
I may even start praying to the football gods that that becomes more than wishful thinking.

I was hoping he’d stay. Now the colts might get an actual head coach to go with there brand new qb.

I also think that picture of him could say "Haters gonna hate"

He coud also be talking about how many times they have shot themselves in the foot.

and then show how bad the executed plays ie: shooting themselves in the foot
by how far away the gun (finger) is pointing from his feet

Wow. The new AFC South.

Boooooooooooooooooooooo.
Hiring Wade Phillips would be the best thing for us. I think Marc Trestman should be a strong candidate there. He’d be great to team with Luck.

Mornhinweg?
Eagles connection there, has developed QBs well and league scuttlebutt I’ve read is that he’s way more ready now for a HC job than when he got his first one (plus that was Detroit in their dark days).

Would be a good hire there as well.
They should look for a strong offensive mind that’s worked with young QBs. Mornhinweg has built offenses for McNabb, Kolb and Vick, and many of their respective backups looked good as well. I didn’t even think about the Eagles connection, that’s a good catch. I’d have to think Grigson would really want to bring him in.

Caldwell coaching Manning...
reminded me of that old episode of the Simpsons where Mr. Burns hires a bunch of MLB stars as ringers for the company softball team.
Mr. Burns: “Strawberry…hit a home run!”
Darryl Strawberry: “You got it, Skip.” (proceeds to knock one out of the park)
Mr. Burns: “I told him to do that.”
Smithers: “Excellent coaching, Sir.”
