Out of left field for sure. Saturday was always looked at as one of the smartest guys on the team. Could turn out I suppose.

It was time. Frank just completely fell apart as head coach. I'm very curious to see if Ballard will survive at the end of the season.


If you watched the game yesterday, he looked lost. You fire your OC and you regress? Surprised Irsay wasn't standing on the tarmac at Logan waiting for him.

they missed the one FG and dude had absolutely no change in his facial expression. He probably welcomed the canning at this point.

I can’t stomach being both a Colts and White Sox fan with the amount of perpetual chaos that is directly caused by the team’s owner.

It’s clear they had already given up on the season. Ryan has been a disappointment but he’s still the only shot the Colts have at winning a game. Ehlinger is NOT HIM as the kids say. As far as Saturday goes, who cares? They’re not landing a big name mid season. He’s the interim and if he performs well (LOL) he’ll get a fair shot at the position after the season. Hope we wind up picking early enough to draft Stroud or at least close enough to work out a trade. What a fucking disaster this season, and the end of last, has been.

I don't think it will be him. As many times as he's been interviewed and hasn't landed anything tells me there's something (baggage or bad interview) going on.

Multiple incidents in his past. He was even banned from the CU campus for a time.

On the way home I heard that Irsay had been using Saturday as a consultant to assess things.

At least he can evaluate the Oline coach.

Better question is does Jeff Saturday know how to call a timeout? What a shit end to that game.
Yeah, I'm sitting there thinking WTF Jeff?

Regardless, the first half is an indicator that this teams needs a mental reboot. I thought Ballard would get one more year, but now I'm not so sure. Especially with how quiet he's been lately.

Ryan's done. He's playing like he's 80. No real arm strength left.

What to do with our 4th pick? Take Stroud or take Levis? Trade up and see how quickly our oline can hurt Bryce Young? Who is going to be the coach?

Get on the phone with the Bears and see what it’ll take to get their pick and take Young.

I’ll be shocked if young and stroud don’t go 1-2. There are so many teams that need a qb, I’ll bet the bears are already taking calls. Even then, you worry about someone trading up with Arizona to get Levis. 4th pick doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a qb. It’s not a great situation

I like Young as a college QB but not sure we can protect him. I'm not sold on Levis so I would take Stroud. We need more pieces than just a QB but we need to take a QB and quit being a retirement home for old past their prime QBs.

Rumor is they like Levis.
I'm not sold on him just yet. Didn't he transfer to UK because he couldn't win the starting job at PSU? My concern about Young is his size regardless of where he plays. Stroud is the best passer of the three but his decision making has been questioned. If nothing changes in the draft order, the Colts should end up with one of those three.

Yuk. Based on that presser, I’m thinking the idiot is going to keep Ballard and Saturday and cost us years as a result… dark times.

I had a feeling Ballard was safe given statements by Irsay about a month ago. This draft will probably determine whether he last longer than one more year. He needs to get the QB and LT first and foremost. If Saturday is retained, he better find a new coach for the O-line. ESPN has said they would like for Saturday to return to ESPN FWIW.

The fact that ballard is going to keep his job absolutely blows my mind, his roster management has been below average and honestly he’s always struck me as a bit of an I’m smarter than everyone else type. Maybe this season humbled him a bit but in my opinion irsay keeping him around is a mistake

If Ballard keeps his job and they choose to retain Saturday, I’m fucking done.
