You didn't see Jim Irsay trotting around about how he was going to whack Polian last year, and Irsay pretty much gives away everything but his bowel movements on Twitter. Meanwhile his team has already rebuilt and fighting for a playoff spot, while these other idiots stumble around with losing records. But hey, they give great soundbites.

Clark came in, whacked Carl Peterson, and hired the best GM candidate out there, and a coach coming off a Super Bowl appearance. It's obvious that it has failed, and now he has to make another change. If he doesn't, we'll know the game is over. What he says in the press is completely irrelevant.

How the hell is this macho BS?

“At this time, all aspects of the organization will be closely evaluated, including front office, coaches and players over the next seven games. If performance and competitiveness does not improve, I will look at all alternatives to get back to having the Titans become a playoff and championship football team.”

The Colts recent history can't be compared to the recent history of the Titans. The Colts have been much more successful. And in that regard, the Pioli regime is much more similar to the Titans that it is to the Colts.
