I just received word that Colts owner Jim Irsay will replace Bill Polian as the featured guest on Polian's weekly radio show this evening. The show broadcasts at 6:00 p.m. ET. Maybe, with Bill Polian now fired, the show will actually get streamed live on the Internet. For two seasons, Polian himself blocked the live-streaming of his weekly radio show.
If the show is not streamed live, we will tweet the show at our twitter handle: @stampedeblue
Irsay fired Polian and his son, general manager Chris Polian, earlier today.

LOVE THIS MOVE!!!
We all wanted to see Irsay step up and make a change. I love the idea of Irsay being there to shed light on the new team direction.
I will caution that the owner/GM position ala Jerry Jones is not good. I hope he doesn’t go too far with this. Hire the right person and them them do their job!

i dont think Irsay will try that

Irsay was GM at one point and it was a disaster

Please remove the national blackout!
Can we get a petition to have the Colts Monday show blackout lifted into eternity? Put it on the front page and have ppl comment to sign the petition. Tweet a link to Irsay and we’ll get it done!

Caldwell?
Any news about Caldwell and his staff? Have they been shown the door?

I would guess...
the new GM will get to make the coaching decisions. I would doubt we hear anything until a new FO team is in place.

But if Irsay has to wait for weeks on McKenzie
Lots of coaches will be gone.

Truth...
I still don’t see how you can hire a coach before a GM. It’s like when the Cowboys hired Garrett as OC before Wade Phillips as coach. It took away all coach authority.
I feel like the same would happen here.

Guess I'll be keeping my season tickets.
Ive been a long time season ticket holder, but after the last few seasons and the utter contempt Bill Polian has showed toward the fans over the last few seasons, I couldnt in good concience keep spending money on the Colts with Polian in charge. When I left the stadium on December 22nd the gentleman who sits next to me asked if I would be back next season. I honestly couldnt answer the question until today. YES!

God bless Jim irsay!
Screw you Polian and your fan bashing
Time to out a big football team together…..

Bill's probably a bit too old,
but for Chris Polian, I saw an ad for a manager trainee at Steak ‘n’ Shake. So cheer up!

Just because its streamed doesn’t give you a free pass not to post the contents of that show! I would rather you do the analysis and us analyze your analysis…
Just saying =)

Great job today Brad with the coverage of the changes
This is definitely the best site for all Colts fanatics to get their fix of news and stories. Also, good job predicting the Polians’ exit!

Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher? Grab 'em before somebody else does!
Antillar - January 2, 2012
