The Official Indianapolis Colts Thread

Cowher would be good but the only way I can see him coming to Indy is if Polian is gone. I just can't see him agreeing to coach with Polian having as much power as he currently does. Jim Irsay has to make the call - get rid of Polian and bring in a strong head coach or keep Polian and let him bring in someone (like a current NFL assistant).

I know they won't until after the season. I just wish guys like Polian would reply with "no comment" as opposed to bold faced lies when asked questions like this.

"No comment" is taken as a confirmation that the guy is going to be fired by many. That could interfere with job performance and cost the team wins.

I'm OK with getting rid of Polian. I appreciate the job he did building their 2000s team but he hasn't drafted a good lineman in like 7 years. Time to shake things up.

Polian is excellent when he is building a team from scratch. He did great jobs doing this at Buffalo, Carolina and Indianapolis. But since the Super Bowl, he hasn't done a good job making necessary changes (improving the defense) and the changes he has done (offensive line) have not panned out.

I'd be surprised if Irsay and Polian parted ways. Thus, I think the next Colts head coach will be a no name assistant. Irsay and Polian aren't stupid; they know that if the Colts finish 2-14 or worse and they keep the current coaching staff, season ticket sales will fall off the cliff.

Winning determines ticket sales (for volatile markets), so with Peyton coming back I'm sure they can win enough to put butts in the seats. But Caldwell should go.

Don't get too excited, I guarantee your team will be watching the playoffs from the same place the Colts will be. It sucks but after a decade like the Colts have had we can deal with one terrible year, especially if that means getting our next franchise QB.

Been a Colts fan long before Manning got here. I have seen them suck like this before so its not new to me. Still interesting to me to wonder 1) who the Colts head coach will be next year, 2) if they aren't in position to draft Luck, do they trade down, and 3) who they can bring in to improve their horrendous secondary.

I am there with you. I don't think they can bring Caldwell back if they go 0-16, even without Peyton there is no excuse not to win at least a couple of games. I hope if they do not get the first pick they do trade back and stock pile picks. First thing they can do to fix the secondary is fire Coyer, he is beyond pathetic.

No one in Indianapolis thinks Caldwell will be the coach next year. Its clear that the coaching staff has provided zero leadership or change in direction. When Brady went down in Game 1, Belichick changed the entire offense to fit Cassell's limitations and they were more than competitive within a couple of games. Colts have had the entire preseason and 8 games to revamp an offense and haven't accomplished squat. Coyer is equally clueless on the defensive side.

I agree with stockpilling picks if we don't get the #1 pick. But it would be amazing if the Colts get Luck and Manning steps down at the same time. Hopefully, Colts will also be more aggresive regarding trades and free agents this off season.

I hope they are right, I regularly listen to 1070thefan and it seems opinions vary on Caldwell.

I hope they get some DBs who can cover. This team has some talent they just need to get healthy (of course I say that every season) and get rid of the current staff

If Peyton can't demonstrate that he can throw the ball prior to March (start of the new league year), is it inconceivable to believe he'll be released in order to avoid paying him $28 million?

Hard to believe, but I think it's possible.

If Indy puts him on the trading block, somebody will give up a lot for him. Anybody who takes him will be an instant contender.
