My shock will be if he is there for the firing by a new GM. I don't see a scenario where he survives the season. We are going to get cooked in a few of these games. Reading comments on SM in all these Colts posts about the firing of Bullshit Ballard, man the knives are out for Steichen just as much. People are fed the hell up with his same bullshit about cleaning things up, fixing things, etc... He sounds like a damn Pagano clone with that shit, and no one wants to hear that bs. People want to hear "so and so, will no longer be starting, and so and so will be in his place, there are consequences to not doing your job". That's never going to come out of his mouth- and in particular not for his boy Dimes.
I think he was a great offensive coordinator and probably still is, I think the HC seat is way too big for him and he can't do it all. It happens, happens a lot, in all walks of work life, shine like a diamond at your job and suddenly you deserve to have the spot on the next rung, but when you get there you realize there's just too much to it and you can't do it all so you fail at everything. That's what he looks like to me.
