[jasonluckydog]

Thanks for the thread Gannt

[beastson]

And we still stuck with Hurney

WOW

[ladypanther]

Just read on twitter that Peyton has asked to be released or traded.

that is so very interesting if true.

I just read on carolinahuddle that the Polians are now panthers. wrong section brah.

There will be a lot of GM's after this job. The chance to work with Peyton and get Andrew Luck also. win-win situation. Wow

[R0CKnR0LLA]

i find it interesting jim caldwell still has a job there

oh well, i don't expect it to be for much longer. i'm guessing they'll bring in a new GM before they go looking for a new HC

Not surprised he got fired in the least. Also don't want him back here necessarily.

I'm not entirely happy with Hurney, don't get me wrong, but I'm not certain I would look this direction either.

Yeah, you guys are so right..Polians didn't build a great defense, draft Marvin Harrison, draft Marshall Faulk, draft Edgerrin James, draft a group of offensive lineman that stayed in Indy for a while, pick Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf, and build around a franchise quarterback for over a decade that ended in 10 postseason appearances and a Super Bowl.

No, it had nothing to do with Bill Polians (you know, the guy that got Carolina to an NFC Championship in 2 years). It was all Peyton.

Polians didn't deserve to be fired at all. He had a philosophy that worked for a long time and it's very hard for a team like Indy to make big splashes in the draft every year when they haven't had a first round pick above 20 since before the damn millennium.

Don't dog on him and act like he's done nothing.

Good god forum nazi's, it's now officially the panther's off season. Anything NFL related is generally allowed in this section during the off season, get a grip and contribute to the thread and quit trying to play mod.

I posted this in the Panthers forum for two reasons: 1) Polian is a former Panther and 2) I felt this was big enough news to be in this forum especially considering it is officially the Panthers offseason.

If Zod or one of the mods want to move or delete it that's fine but I wanted to allow some who don't generally visit the other forums to get the news.

I think it was good that you posted it. I'm a huge NFL person and I just don't watch one team play. I found out about the news about an hour and a half ago via Twitter.:D

Bill Polian is even more overrated than Hurney! :3

[MWCarolina]

I could see Chud as their next coach

oh dear i hope not. i personally would love to see them hire Jim Tressel as their next head coach, but i am questioning the firing of Polian, i know people will say yeah, the Colts roster stunk, but they had a clear QB issue in my book. the WRs arent awful, are they great, no, but if the colts would've had a good backup, i think they play tougher and dont get the top pick. i hope the Polians end up in Miami.
