To say the first two and a half weeks of the Colts offseason has been very eccentric would be an understatement, and it was no different Tuesday when they announced that Head Coach Jim Caldwell would not be retained, after letting him insane in the wind since the Colts wrapped up an abysmal 2-14 season back on New Year's Day. While the conclusion is usual, the Colts did no favors for a guy Owner Jim Irsay couldn't have praised enough through the time, and even after the season.
It all started the Monday following their 19-13 loss to the Jaguars . Caldwell held weekly 12:45 pressers on Mondays, and reflection was running wild about the futures of him, Vice Chairman Bill Polian, and Extensive Manager Chris Polian. Caldwell, like the good soldier that he is, still held that depress conference, where he had to give vague answers to every local reporter trying to find out the guiding of the team. Not two hours later comes the announcement that both Polians had been fired. It was totally unnecessary for the Colts to send Caldwell out there to not answer any questions, as Caldwell knew at that conditions that the Polians were gone. The Colts clearly wanted to keep the impression of the reputation quo, even if it meant Caldwell looked like the "yes man" everyone accused him of being in the first place.
