Why did Bill Polian walk?

Was he not worthy of the President title after winning GM of the year 2 years in a row? We would have gone to at least 2 more Superbowls if he had stayed with us instead of moving on.

I know some fans with more knowledge of inside operations might have an answer

I thought this was going to be a "why did the chicken cross the road" type of thread due to the title but alas...

MNF. Too drunk and bored to be creative. (Not that I ever am unless it comes to mocking some noob:()

Jimmy Irsay is really a money guy. Even though he liked his scouts, he knew that he was no judge of talent. He felt that he really needed a strong GM who could run the Indianapolis COLTS. He liked what BP did with the Bills and the Panthers. The ironic thing was that BP had said that he didn't have it in him to build another team. (3, really 4, times going to the Super Bowl with the Bills with 0 wins to show for it. The BP took on the Panthers and he turned them into strong contenders. (Possible winners if he had stayed!) NFC Championship game in only their second year?

There was friction with the Panthers front office for letting him run the team his way and hire the HC he wanted. Irsay promised BP free reign of the COLTS! Basically, Jimmy said to him, "I'll write the checks, you build a that Indianapolis can be proud of!

(What's that old C & W song. "I have the money, if you have the time?" or "If you have the time, I have the money!")

(I'm glad that Jimmy was smart enough to hire BP!) Sorry.

McCormick retired, Polian wanted his job/title, and Richardson gave it to his son.

What will break your heart is that there were strong rumors swirling about a trade for the number one overall pick between the Panthers and Colts at the time. Of course, if he had stayed we would probably have taken Leaf anyway, but still...

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
