Pretty ballsy and/or stupid move.

His first opponents will be against the Raiders....He said this about the raiders one week ago!
Lol.
Colts still suffering from Andrew Luck leaving…those ripples are still going through that team. That’s why if the Steelers drafted another QB this season in round one, I’d have no problem with it…
No QB, no nothing…
Lordy lordy lordy. Someone needs to stop Irsay and Ballard.
I mean, I guess Lynch went from player to GM with some success. Maybe Saturday can do this?
FWIW, if he does, I'm totally out on coaching being this massive difference maker.
I don't think the colts will win a single game for the rest of the year...not even against the steelers,raiders or Houston....I never see a team in the NFL take a interim HC who was not in their staff before this change...He was on TV...He know almost nothing about their system and you can't change the system during the season!
Jim Irsay just want a high draft pick for a QB like in 1998 and 2012!
Irsay gonna Irsay. Apple don’t fall far from the rotten tree.

This says more than I can say. Bob Irsay was a piece of shit as an NFL owner…and a human being. When you are at a press conference at BWI with the mayor, and you stick your finger under Hizzoner’s nose and shout “Does this smell like Indianapolis to you?”, that tells you all you need to know.
The Colts were lucky to have Peyton Manning for so many years at some points or they would be one of the worst franchise in sports.....Between 1978 to 1997 they had zero 10 wins season!
"Suck for Luck" sure paid off for them. Got a full trophy case now.
Jeff Saturday has Devante Adams in his fantasy football....His first game as head coach will be against this team!
My dad and uncles were like watching “Diner”. They lived, breathed and died with the horseshoe. So did I. I was 10 when the Colts beat the Cowboys in SBV. My dad and his younger brother went to Miami when I was 8 to see the Colts and Jets in SBIII. I remember my mom telling my brother and I not to talk to dad when he came back home lol.
Baltimore truly lived and died with the Colts. Then Carroll Rosenbloom traded the team to Bob Irsay with his LA Rams and after that, the handwriting was on the wall. It’s been 38 years and it still pisses me off
Me and my three friends had an “arrangement” with a senior usher at Memorial Stadium. $3.00 a man got you two old ticket stubs stapled together, with a pronouncement such as “Gate E-3. Left turnstile. Blonde girl named Jane. Tell her “Frank” says ‘hi’”. Once inside, we found empty seats. But as more fans got seated we had to keep moving until finally up in the nosebleeds behind the end zone. So, after the ‘83 season, being either 23, 24 or 25 years of age, we decided to bite the bullet and get season tickets. Yeah, we hated Irsay, but still loved the horseshoe. All that disappeared in a blizzard in February of 1984. I still give a middle finger to every Mayflower van I see lol.
Had the move gone down like it did with the Browns, it would have been better. Instead of listening to rubes in Indy talk about how great “their QB” Johnny Unitas was and shit like that. They should have left the name, unis and history behind and renamed the team to something that reflects Indianapolis. None of the ex-Baltimore Colts wanted anything to do with Indy. And Unitas was very vocal about how he felt about the move. Thankfully his statue is outside M&T Bank.
I can see that, when I started watching the Steelers in 77 as a little kid, one of the first games I watched was the divisional playoff between the Steelers and the Colts with Bert Jones. Jones looked so much better than bradshaw that game. Thankfully my Steelers recovered the next season. Anyway back then I thought Baltimore and Colts was inseparable - Like Pittsburgh and Steelers
Bill Cowher just said that Jeff Saturday being hired as HC was a disgrace.....
