Take this with a huge grain of salt because it is written by Jason La Canfora who is not always the most reliable source of info (I think at times that he will write about rumors he hears without taking much time to verify them).

However, he is reporting the Colts locker room is not happy - both the remaining coaching staff and players.

Lots of players want out now.

That the reason why Parks Frazier is the play caller is because other members of the staff turned down the job.

Jeff Saturday may have his work cut out for him in winning over the locker room.

Podcast in Chicago.

An NFL team is in complete, comedic chaos ... and it's not the Bears!


Similarities of owner decisions reminds then of Reinsdorf who owns the White Sox.

Also the problem with hiring popular former players is fans hate them as coach and forget the great player they were.

Sucks for me as a White Sox fan and Colts fan.

Might as well have Bob Irsay running the team. That was when I also stopped being a Colts fan.

How long will it be that fans will want Irsay to sell the team.

It's starting to become time that JIM does transition the power to one of his daughters.

It's interesting. Although the league was a lot different then. I don't know how precedented it is... I just know it's pretty fucking strange.

None of that surprises me at all. Jim sabotaged this team for years to come with this bullshit. No one will want to play or coach here now.

This is an absolute disaster.

Is that what you would do if you owned the team?

I can think of a couple of somewhat similar circumstances, albeit not head coaching situations. Unfortunately, neither worked out particularly well

Mike Mayock - Took over the Raiders GM position several seasons ago after a long broadcasting career. Fired earlier this year.

Bo Schembechler - Became president of MLB's Detroit Tigers in 1990, after a long college football coaching career. Fired two years later.

Not sure what all of this means, other than there have been a few situations where pro teams have brought in outsiders into important positions without any direct prior experience.
