Indy Fires GM!

[DaveFan'51]

It is being reported on NFLN that the Indianapolis Colts Have Fired there GM Ryan Grigson (Sp?) Any interest in him!? Could they be getting ready to bring in Peyton Manning!? there have been Rumors!! Thoughts!!?!

 

[jrry32]

No. Ryan Grigson is a terrible GM, one of the worst in the NFL.

"Hey Jim, know you are committed to the University of Michigan, but how would you like complete control of the Colts while coaching your boy Andrew Luck??"

 

[Dodgersrf]

Long overdue.

 

[dieterbrock]

Could Pagano be next?

Would Harbaugh leave Michigan if he was offered GM/HC Gig in Indy??

Or could a Shanahan double play be in order?

Maybe McD has 2nd thoughts about a HC job?

Interesting

Is all of this gonna be on the test?

Any interest in him!?

yeah, it will be interesting if he gets another job as a gm ever again.

actually that's not interesting at all.

Hmm. Pagano may be next. McDaniels or Shanny would cream over working with Luck. Also take Shanny from SF.

Long overdue, it's really aggravating seeing Luck's talent go to waste with a shitty supporting cast. The only good player outside of Luck, that Grigson drafted last year was TY Hilton.

 

[NERamsFan]

Not surprised, just curious why the delay? May have missed the boat on a pontential candidate, but they may already have someone in the wings.

How Pagano has survived as a HC is beyond mind-boggling to me. Wasting away a great qb in Luck.

Would Peyton Manning be open to being the GM of his old team?

Nearly three weeks after the Colts’ season ended and a full week after it became obvious that owner Jim Irsay was courting Peyton Manning to run the team and Jon Gruden to coach it, Irsay finally has made a move.

With Irsay expected to announce that G.M. Ryan Grigson has been fired, the question becomes what will be Irsay’s next move?

If you’re wondering what Colts players think about the decision to fire G.M. Ryan Grigson, look no farther than the Twitter page of Colts punter Pat McAfee.

You're right, my bad.
Why talk about something interesting when we can talk about who the new OC or Oline coach is gonna be, surely that dead horse could use couple more whips
Lol

And its an essay test smarty pants
Haha

Prior to Luck going 8-8 and missing playoffs in consecutive years, No Colts QB has suffered back to back non playoff years since 92-93 when Jeff George was QB (And went 9-7 one year)

Groh to Philly is official now per Adam Caplan.


Hope we land a good one...

Jim Irsay: Peyton Manning won’t be joining the Colts
Posted by Mike Florio on January 21, 2017

Colts owner Jim Irsay finally has done that which seemed quite possible if not likely three weeks ago: He has fired G.M. Ryan Grigson.

At a press conference to announce the move, Irsay said that Peyton Manning will not be joining the team as the G.M. But Irsay may have taken his position on Peyton Manning a bit too far by claiming that Manning and Jon Gruden joining the team was “never in the cards.”

Multiple reports indicated that Irsay tried to woo Gruden and Manning as a package deal. The two men are close friends (it’s not quite The Odd Couple, but it’s close), and the goal was to get both of them. If those reports were all #fakenews, Irsay should have shot them down days ago.

Irsay said he has a list of G.M. candidates, that it could expand, and that he’ll interview current Colts executive Jimmy Raye III for the job. (I think Irsay knows who he’ll hire, but he’s trying to ensure the perception of a full and fair search.)

As to coach Chuck Pagano, Irsay explained that Pagano will be back for 2017, but it’s obvious he’ll be on the hot seat — especially if the new G.M. comes from outside the organization. Every coach wants his own quarterback and every G.M. wants his own coach, and half-measures of this kind rarely work.

I know he drafted a great center last year. Strange that it would be done now...oh well, we've got other fish to fry.

Damn.

I just hope they fire Pagano and snap up Shanahan so we can troll the whiner boards. Put that bottle of scotch down and make it happen Irsay!
