Indianapolis Colts fire Bill Polian, Chris Polian - The Early Lead - The Washington Post

Bill and Chris Polian out. I guess his dreams of "empire" are now totally dashed. Luck might fall!!!! Maybe?

If Luck falls past the first pick, I'd definitely look into trading up for him. But only if the Shannies are convinced that he is the qb that would propel this offense to Saints/Patriots/Packer type levels. If the Shannies think we would be able to do just fine with a guy like Tannehill, I'd be fine with that too. All I ask is that Rex Grossman be never referred to as our qb of the present and/or future again. If Grossman starts while the rookie learns, I'd be okay with that. But I'd rather pick up a guy through FA/trade who fits our system to take the reigns while the rookie watches. No big name though, just a serviceable guy to ease the transition.

Not even sure why they were fired. My only issue with the Colts over the past decade have been their defense. It's why Peyton only walked away with 1 title, and the main difference between the Colts and Pats. The Pats have always had a beastly defense, until the past few years.

I suspect it is related to something about moving Peyton Manning to somewhere other than Indy.

You could look at it the other way. Said GM was planning to dump Peyton for a new toy so he could have another 15 years of success on his resume while Irsay believes Peyton should be exempt from being treated as a mere asset.

Vinny would draft Justin Blackmon number 1 overall then trade a 2012 2nd round pick and 2013 3rd round pick for Jimmy Clausen. After that he would draft Safety's and Linebackers in the late rounds.
