JI: So, make it happen. He is gone, and this week.
CB: There are no options for us to do it now.
JI: Just a sec...(Hey, Jeff, i need a favor, and I need it today. You will? Thanks, man!) Chris, I have a guy to finish the season. Let's do it today.

Agree. Saturday is doing Irsay a favor while also scratching his coaching itch to see how he would like it under a pretty much pressure less situation.

Also, IMO Irsay brought him in as an outside auditor to figure out WTF happened to the OL and get an outside opinion on who needs to go and what to do to fix it.

What head coach is going to take the Colt's job ?? No QB, an Oline that needs an 80% overhaul, no stud WR and an owner who will fire you mid season. Right now, under present circumstances, Indy is a place a coaches will or should avoid.

You are absolutely right...that's why Chris Ballard is going nowhere, it will be his job to convince a good (hopefully great) coach to come on board! My guess is Reich, Ballard, and Irsay had a meeting that got very heated, the result was Jeff Saturday. I won't be surprised if the Colts clobber the Chargers Monday night!

Right now according to Tankathon, the Colts have got the 6th pick in the upcoming draft, a win on Monday night will probably drop them to the mid teens ! I hope you are wrong.

Did anyone say Bubba Ventrone?

[Dewey 5]

Just not Leslie Frazier.

[Lov2fish]

Demeco Ryans should be on the other end of the line as soon as the season ends for him.

I think he is who we will end up with. He seems to have a HC future, so why not here?

[Hoopsdoc]

Houston will have the number one pick and they won’t bring Smith back, so they’ll have their choice of the candidates, at least theoretically.

I wouldnt hate that, but probably not my first preference.
