Hired a poor coach in Jim Caldwell. He was also helpless once Manning went down.
69 years old and will likely bring his dumbass son along.
Known for Pioli-like secrecy/dumbassery.

Fired after he built a team that went to its 4th straight superbowl. Id JIMP.
Of course he "went the veteran route" he was starting an expansion team. How the team did after he left was on somebody else, he had them in the NFCC game in his second year there.
While I agree that his drafts werent very good in Indy, he did fill some crucial spots while there that helped the team win big games and he made it a point to put as many weapons as he could around PM to help him succeed.
Most teams are "helpless" when their HOF starter goes down.
Age is a concern, as is bringing Chris with him....I agree. Maybe Chris has learned something as a scout, though. Its not like Atlanta hasnt drafted well.
Interesting, I honestly didn't know about his secrecy stuff...can you elaborate?
