Jim Caldwell has had to answer a lot of tough questions this week. Here's one more.
I’m not so sure Jim Caldwell, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, was 100 percent on board with benching his starters and taking the week 16 loss against the New York Jets, thereby ending what was probably a perfect season. My suspicions were somewhat confirmed after the Colts’ president made these dumb remarks. So I’m wondering if that decision, whether complicit or not, will loom over the votes cast for the NFL coach of the year.
Will that even weigh on the voters’ minds? (Hell, who are the voters???)
Surely we’ll all take into consideration 14 (maybe 15) wins, the fact that he’s a rookie coach and the luck of having Peyton Manning to make him look good. So we’ll make sure to scrutinize his decisions and stack him up against the best — Sean Payton, Mike Singletary, etc.
So, who do you think gets it?
Answer below.
Wost. Decision. Ever. Gotta vote for Sean Payton.
nope, coaches of the year don’t lay down in games. Gotta give it to either the chargers head coach or the saints.
Brad Childress has to be the smartest man in the room after cow-towing to Brett Favre in the offseason. Now he looks like a genius. Hindsight is 20-20.
