He couldn't get a win against the worst team in the NFL in a gimmee game to get into the playoffs. He allowed Matt Pryor to man the LT spot during the pre-season and several other games this year. His team was averaging 16 ptpg in modern era NFL. He SUCKED, and he needed to go! Can't understand the continued attempts to prop him up as something more than he was, he was a bad HC.

That said, there is NO reason his boss should still be employed either. He perhaps sucks even worse! He hired essentially ALL the guys that sucked at football, and in some cases he gave them raises.

This team, the team he built, gave up the biggest comeback in NFL history and the worst 4th Qtr collapse in NFL history- in a 3 week span! We just lost to the worst team in the NFL, that was trying to lose!

IMO Ballard has to be on his knees thanking God for Jeff Saturday. I think he is here because Irsay wants Saturday to coach and any other self respecting GM would say hell no to that, therefore basically Ballard has a job that requires:
- Watching film of players for a couple hours
- Hitting the gym
- Getting his hair done
- Having a press conference twice a year
- Never having to provide his boss with a "Jim, let me try to explain moment"
Ballard has to LOVE life right now!

This team is fucked!

Nah, Franks a decent head coach who was stuck with a fatally flawed roster.

We witnessed firsthand what a bad coach looks like when Jeff Saturday took over and they promptly collapsed in historic fashion.

This team was only 3-5-1 because of Franks coaching ability. That’s clear now.

Also, the Colts were 4-3-1 with Matt Ryan at quarterback after the win over the Raiders ...... 0-2 with Sam Ehrlinger at QB, and 4-5-1 overall.

And no, I'm not advocating that a 38 year-old, immobile Matt Ryan should return to the Colts for the 2023 season ...... but rather that the offensive line was more of a problem than was our quarterbacks this season. There is no way that Philip Rivers would have led the Colts to an 11-6 record and a playoff berth in 2020 if he had had the 2022 Colts offensive line blocking for him that season.
