Maybe the organization didn't think BB was going anywhere when he went to Indy? The man is pretty fucking secretive.



Well that’s on the organization. Why do the colts have to suffer because someone is too insecure for their position?

Because it’s the colts. They deserve it.

I agree with the last part but it’s still garbage that he went through the interview process and gave the colts false hope. Now they’re going to hire someone’s plan b or c. These things should be settled before coordinators interview. They either stay or try to get a hc gig. No in between. Just childish by both parties and their indecision.


I do agree that it was handled poorly by NE, but the only thing that makes sense to me for why it happened, is that BB is going to be transitioning out. If that's not the case, and BB just snagged him at the last minute to fuck over Indy, then ya, that's super fucked up and a dick move. I just don't think that's the case, because that's not something they've ever done with trades or letting their guys go places, they've always been pretty straight forward about that kind of shit. Maybe the stress from this SB was just too much for BB and maybe he just didn't fucking enjoy it anymore. He could have told Bob after the game that he was done, Bob begs him to stay until they find a replacement and then the idea of getting Josh to come back with the promise of him taking over in 1-2 years after a full transition has been situated is made.

We just can't know at this time, but if BB leaves in the next 2 years and Josh takes over, you can be 100% sure this was the case, but if BB sticks around and Josh takes another HC job somewhere else in a year or two, it was just Josh not wanting to go to Indy and he was a dick about it.

Edit : And the Pats were dicks for facilitating Josh's dickery, if that's what went down.

Not really lol..

As far as the New England against the world mentality..sure there are people that hate them for dumb reasons. But there are those of us that despise them for the right reasons. Reasons I’m sure even real pats fans understand. They constantly do shady shit and this is another example. The secrecy in New England has been going on since day 1 of the Belichick era starting with withholding injury information. Just shit most organizations don’t do because they have integrity.

All I know is if the colts take Toub I’ll just have one more reason to dislike you guys.

Here’s the thing, I wouldn’t give a fuck how the chiefs went about it, if we had the same success the patriots have had since 2000, I wouldn’t care. They are successful and people hate success. Just because they skirt right near the line of breaking the rules and staying within the rules doesn’t mean they have been shady from day one. Yeah spy gate was fucked and deflate gate was mehhhhh but still, I’d take all that bullshit for 5 rings. We can all admit we’re all just jealous and wish we had BB


Which is exactly why I hate the pats. People always hate the dynasties, 9ers, cowboys, Steelers, pats have all been hated. It just is how it goes

I don’t recall this happening in recent memory, but there are just certain things you don’t or shouldn’t be able to do. This is one of them. If you want to retain a coordinator, don’t let them interview for head coaching jobs. Make sure they’re staying put in advance.


Kraft is just getting back at the colts/the league for deflategate and good for him, the league/someone in the colts (rumored to be Irsay or one of his minions) leaked false info about the PSI numbers and the NFL/ESPN/media ran with it...

Payback's a bitch!

Bottom line man. These guys are grown ass men. Men that know what they want to do in the next 2-3 years at least. Shit like this shouldn’t be allowed to happen. I get that sometimes shit just comes on but BB knows when he’s going to call it. One super bowl loss won’t tell him otherwise. He’s a smart man, Wesleyan alum(I played in that conference btw and almost transferred to Wesleyan) and I’m almost certain he knows what he wants for the next 5 years lol. All the chatter surrounding New England always needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

That’s just your casual fans that have no clue what actually goes on in the sports that hate those dynasties though. As a giants fan, sure, I’d hate another cowboys dynasty or eagles one but I have literally zero problem with new England’s besides the left handed tactics they’ve been using the entire time.

Do I feel they’d be just as successful without all the bullshit? Yea probably..but fucking stop being scuzwagons Jesus Christ lmao
