This is completely absurd. Polian made years of great decisions to build the Colts. Having a bad end doesn't render the previous greatness nonexistent.

Polian hasn't done **** lately. The last five years or so of Colts drafting have been pretty bad.

and yet they were still good enough to average 10 wins a year because of all the talent he had stockpiled before then. Even with the dropoff, his tenure with the Colts is among the most successful GM stints in the modern era of the league. The level of consistent success the Colts maintained was phenomenal.

Polian has clearly dropped off the last few years, and yeah, its time to go in a different direction, but people are piling on unfairly.

His tenure with the Colts shouldn't be defined by his final season record any more than Tom Landry should be judged by his last year with the Cowboys.

HALLE-****ING-LUJAH

now we can get some real WRs and o-linemen from major conference schools

George McCaskey, quote from 30 seconds ago: "The Vikings have a good coach, they played us pretty tough last week."

Literally made me lol, not sure why.

[Geddy Lee]

McCaskey just confirmed he is not a candidate in the GM selection process, hahaha. He's hilarious.

Also just confirmed he had a lunch with Rocky Wirtz and John McDonough of the Blackhawks before he approved the Angelo firing; not sure what he gained from that meeting, but that struck me as rather interesting, because that's a fantastic example of a pro sports franchise that did a complete 180 culture change throughout the entire organization, from ice to front office, and it resulted in a championship.

Tbh, I'm quite surprised Phillips is still around. Media is all over this as a huge change in culture, yet the same person who needed a search firm to find Angelo b/c he had no contacts in the football world is still running the show. I'm not in the 'Fire Lovie' camp, but I have to question how attractive this job is when potential GMs are forced into keeping the old coach.

Martz and Day leaving make it 28 assistants who have left Lovie's staff under their own accord.

agree with Noodleman, Polian had a great run before crapping out.

it's just kind of evidence how much of a crapshoot the draft is. lol draftexperts

Sounds like sour grapes. Little Polian got the nod for promotion over nath.

JasonLaCanfora Jason La Canfora
Figuring Jeff Fisher hired in STL by Sun/Mon, and Mike Sherman in TB not long after. Romeo promoted in KC, Mularkey or Chudzinski in JAX

I'd be very happy with Fisher, we've tried the young CO route the past 2 times and hasn't work. Time to go for experience. Highly doubt he would keep McDaniels around tho, Bradford gonna have another new playbook to get his head around. 3 different OC's in 3 years.

[Riverman]

If you had told me Romeo ****ing Crennel would get another NFL job...

Poor KC fans

[TheNoodleMan]

Yeah, because no one ever fails in their first head coaching job, then turns out to be a good coach, especially failed Browns coaches.
