This team is pathetic, Saturday shouldn't even get an interview, he is not the answer and Gus can stay in Minn..

Having been the losing QB in the largest SB come back, Matty Ice is going to be the losing QB for the largest come back OF ALL FUCKING TIME.

We are in a dangerous downward spiral that could lead to a huge player exodus and a decade similar to the 80’s where players were praying to not be drafted by the Colts. We are a ship without a captain and a partial crew trying to save it.

It’s becoming more and more obvious Reich wasn’t the primary issue with this team. A new coach may do the team good, but the way in which things were handled will likely hurt them. The meddling at QB, the hiring of a coach with zero coaching experience, and promoting an OC with no experience will all hurt this team during any real coaching search. Couple that with Ballard’s constant focus on the future and it’s just not an attractive job IMO. I’m afraid Saturday will end up with the job permanently.

Reich was never the problem.

There were those of us who said that all along.

The problem is a fatally flawed offensive line and a meddling owner. With a washed up quarterback as a secondary problem.

Reich should still be the coach. I know for a fact he’d be better than Jeff Saturday.

Here is where I disagree. Irsay has said that a previous coach, either Dowhower or Infante, would always just bury their heads in the playbook, play call sheet or the film room, thinking that they had all the answers.

I believe that Reich was similar, with his I'm the smartest guy in the room aura and Irsay recognized it and said fuck no, I' not going down this road again.

I agree and I’m also one who has said it all along. I was trying to be gentle in pointing out he wasn’t the problem. The team was 3-3-1 with a history of coming together mid season before Reich was forced to start Ehlinger. They are certainly worse for Irsay’s meddling.

Yep. We are adrift as an organization.
