I 100% agree. Caldwell needs to answer questions about what he was thinking during the Super Bowl. He made the two biggest mistakes of the game strategy wise, and if the players have to answer questions, so should the coach. I want to know what he was thinking calling for three run plays to end the first half, and why he sent out a kicker to attempt a 51 yard FG who hadn’t hit one of that length in three years. He was a mess that night and cost the Colts a title. Manning and Wayne had to face the music, so should he. His mistake was worse.
Jim Caldwell is a stand-up guy. But when he finally talked to a reporter for the first time since the night of Feb. 7, he pulled that looking-ahead-not-back card, one of the weakest in the game. Here’s Mike Chappell’s story and another from John Oehser.
It’s the same thing Bill Polian did when he met with the press late the week after the Super Bowl, insisting when asked about the game that “past is prologue,” butchering the meaning of the line as he declined to talk about the Colts’ failures against the Saints. (If past is prologue, than you HAVE to talk about the past if you’re talking about the future.)
