I'm guessing Peyton's not too thrilled about that

Re: Coaching Changes
 

That was weird. espn reported that the Colts will retain him, then 5 minutes later it's breaking news that he's fired. That place is falling apart without you, SS. ;)

See the problem is that SS always carried ESPN on his back, and the worldwide leader got very comfortable and never thought of the day they would need to move on without him. Now they will suffer a terrible season, although with a terrible record they will be able to draft that young hot-shot journalist who is coming out of Stanford in next year's draft.

LOL. Irsay had everyone thinking Caldwell would be kept.

Of course he's not but he doesn't have to worry about it cause he's not going to be there anyway. My guess is he'll be here.

I'm thinking Payton can kiss that 28million dollar bonus good bie and he will be on another team next yr.

Grimm back to the Cardinals, and Mike Nolan to the Falcons

I don't see PM coming to DC

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Lou Spanos will be going to UCLA as their DC.

ESPN 980
The LA Times is reporting that Redskins linebackers coach Lou Spanos is going to be hired as the defensive coordinator at UCLA.

Interesting. Good scoop there Ruh

Re: Coaching Changes
 

So ... Caldwell fired by the Colts?

Guess Caldwell's secret "Suck For Luck" plan didn't work out too well for him.

The press release was real misleading. And I quote:

[quote=Jim Irsay]
We will be keeping Jim Caldwell on as our head coach...





















...until the end of this sentence. Ok, that sentence is done. He's fired. Hope no media outlets didn't read halfway through this press release and misjudge anything, if any of them did it's my bad. Peace!

interesting what is going on with our search for a WR coach and now a LB coach?

Yeah i believe that as well. Its just been really strange the series of events and the timing. Final indication of whether Peyton stays or goes will be head coach choice.

Agreed.. If they bring in a defensive coach (Spags, Zimmer, etc) or someone that runs a different offense, this is a perfect time to turn the franchise over. Let Manning, Wayne, Mathis, Saturday and all the aging free agents go, draft Luck, be smart about targeting younger players in free agency and try to build another decade of winning football.

My money says Peyton hits the open market March 8.

The owner made a comment saying that he would never trade Manning. If he's healthy he's playing if he's not he will cut him. I too think Manning will be let go and will be a FA, but my concern is will he be healthy? we've heard rumors that a ton of FB players get the same surgery and return to playing all the time. We hear Payton was informed he could start working out a little harder. Then we hear there is a rumor that Paytons doctor basically said Payton should not play FB ever again for possibly face being paralized.

Whats the truth? Will he be able to play? Why is it taking longer then the 12 weeks stated that it normally takes to get back on the field? Should a ton of money be thrown at Payton for him to play somewhere only to find out he can't play? Would Vet min. get him? lol. and lastly since he loves the game of FB would he be willing to sign a contract that if he can't play then he will be an Asst. Coach in some capacity? I think his knowledge alone would be extremely valuable to the team and any QB brought in if he was willing.

I have to wonder what they are waiting for when it comes to filling these positions. I know LB just came available but how long will the WR position sit open?

At this level you have longer to decide than say.. a coveted coordinator decision

ESPN 980 (I think) mentioned Rick Venturi because of his ties to Haslett. It's also entirely possible they just reshuffle some current coaches already on the staff

Re: Coaching Changes
 

^ yeah, unfortunatly someone is throwing shit against the wall to see how it will stick.

[QUOTE]
Washington Redskins defensive backs coach Bob Slowik could take over as the team's linebackers coach after linebackers coach Lou Spanos left the team. The team hired assistant coach Raheem Morris to help out the defensive backs.

What the hell? Is Mike Jones reading my posts??

Anyway, Slowik has some experience coaching linebackers

Re: Coaching Changes
 

So maybe we saw the spanos thing coming and that's why slowick was retained?

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Not too bad of a job to have considering we have Fletcher (hopefully), Orakpo, Kerrigan, and I guess Riley. Decent depth too. Mostly young and athletic across the board.

This is why Ross is an idiot as an owner and keeps striking out with his first choice for HC.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

I think that we should try to prie Buddy Geis WR coach from Georgia Tech.

Ross is the new resident idiot owner of the league. Snyder can breathe easy now.
