This would be a real interesting hire

Yes it would. Got to wonder if Caldwell was really done months ago.

As soon as Jim was hired by the Colts, you could tell it was one of those hires to keep in the organization "just in case". They wanted him bad even thought they didn't have an opening. Wasn't he something like a film reviewer there? I know it was a small job with the Colts.

"The Vest".

Also a lying two faced piece of poo banished from College football.

Hope he fails miserably given the chance.

Maybe Luck will refuse to play for such a classless ass. :lol:

I just don't see Peyton Manning playing for Jim Tressel... don't see it at all....

I pointed out several months ago that if the Colts went 0-13, that Jimmy (Irsay) would pull the pull the switch. (Firing Caldwell and giving the team over to Tressel.)

3 things happened that prevented this. 1) The players gave Jim Caldwell a vote of confidence. Specifally, Reggie Wayne. 2) Peyton Manning donned the headset and helped with play calling. (Many fell that Peyton actually was called the last 3 games and not Jim Caldwell. 3) History. The Colts had been 0-13 before. The old man made a coaching change and the Colts won their last 3 games, but lost the overall #1 draft pic.

My biggest concern with hiring Jim Tressel, if they do. That he can translate into a pro game. History is not on his side. Saban, Holtz, Devine, Kush, The coach from Oklahoma that took over the Cowboys after Jimmy Johnson left. (Yes he won a Super Bowl, but with Jimmy's team.) Patino, etc. College coaches just don't make good pro coaches. IMO

The Harbaughs maybe the exception. Though Jim Harbaugh always had a good understanding of the pro game.

The Colts continue to clean "house". Last Wednesday they fired 3 assistant coaches, including Frank Reich.
