1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, good evening, Welcome into the

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Colts Daily Update. Tonight time Matt Taylor, And today was

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: an off day for the Colts who are getting ready

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: for the Raiders coming up in Week ten. But tonight

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: we'll spend more time reflecting on yesterday than the upcoming game.

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: We'll do that later this week as we get closer

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: to Sunday and Week ten in Las Vegas. But you

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: all know the news by now. Frank Breck was let

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: go on Monday. The Colts have hired interim coach Jeff

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: Saturday for the remainder of the season. There was a

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: press conference last night, so we'll try to play the

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: most newsworthy parts of that in case you missed it.

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: But this development happened very fast after the Colts fell

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: to the Patriots on Sunday to drop to three to

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: five and one, and Jim Urse discussed why he picked

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: up the phone and gave Saturday a call to see

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: if he was interested in taking over the Colts for

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: the last eight games of the season. He's extremely tough,

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: and he's a leader. You're looking for head coaches leaderships

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: the number one thing. That's the number one thing, and

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: that's also has a toughness level. They're highly intelligent. That's

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: very important. You have to be a very great thinker.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: You have to be able to work with people. You

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: have to be open minded. You have to create a

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: culture where people trust you. You have to know the game.

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: You have to have experience. You have to be able

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: to draw out of experience in your life to come

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: forward and do what a head coach does. In this league,

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: it's very difficult. There's lots of coordinators that aren't good

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: head coaches. You know, you know, certain people just have it.

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: They have it, and it's it's brought with a lot

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: of things that bring that to the table. Let's be

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: very clear. This thing was driven by what Chris and

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I see in his excellence and his readiness and who

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: he is. If he's if he turns us down, we're

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: not here today. So from the sounds of it, right there,

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: had Jeff Saturday declined the position, Jim Rsey wasn't going

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: to offer this job to anybody else, and it's certainly

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: been talked about at the water cooler today. Jeff Saturday's

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: background in the NFL terrific player and center with the Colts,

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, multiple Pro Bowls, All Pro player,

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: but his only coaching experience at any level has come

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: of the high school ranks. The Colts did have coaches,

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: or do have coaches on their staff, I should say,

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: with head coaching experience both in college and the NFL.

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: But Ursa explains why he wanted this job to go

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: to Saturday. You know, it's an intuitive decision. You know,

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: when I hired Tony Dungee, it was done very methodical.

51
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: You know, you operate like the CIA. It's very analytical,

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: it's very unemotional. It's very methodical with in depth experience

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: and knowledge and trying to get the feeling for what's right.

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Then I wanted a winning coach, a winning playoff coach,

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: a winning coach that was proven to come in with

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: our franchise. Now I'm glad he doesn't have an NFL experience.

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad he hasn't learned the fear that's in this league.

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: That's because it's tough for our coaches. They're afraid. They

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: go to analytics and it gets difficult. I mean, he

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have all that. He doesn't have that that fear,

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and there was no other candidate. We are fortunate that

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: he was available, and he has tons of experience. He

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: knows this game inside and out with relationships with coaches

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: and players and has been a consultant for us for

65
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: several years, a paid consultant informing Chris and I and

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: other people in the organization. You know, his opinions to me.

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, I know people can look out and see

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: it and ask that question. But he's fully capable of

69
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: doing this and more than capable. And that that no,

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: there was it wasn't offered to anyone else. And yeah,

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't know Chris and

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I what we would have done, if anything, if he

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: wasn't available and willing um. So that that's kind of

74
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: how it came together. That's Jim Ersey on Jeff's Saturday

75
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: now taking over for the last eight games of the

76
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: season for the Colts. But what did Saturday think of

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: this opportunity, Why did he take the phone call, why

78
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: did he entertain the idea, and why did he ultimately

79
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: agree to take over the Colts? Shock would be an understatement. So,

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we we had the conversation and it escalated quickly.

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: He asked me my wife Karen, and you know, he said, hey,

82
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: will you go have a conversation with your wife and

83
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: make sure that you know she's on board and my

84
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: son Josh still lives with us at home. You have

85
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: that conversation, and he told me he was gonna meet

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: with Chris about it, and um then as the day

87
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: progressed this morning, we finally came to a conclusion. But

88
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: it was a twelve hour a whirlwind and uh, mister

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Ursy keeps later hours than I do, so you know,

90
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: he it was it was late. It was a late call.

91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was uh. We we had those conversations.

92
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: I talked, I spoke to Heath and I spoke to

93
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Chris and h both for for a good length of

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: time and just had real come to you know, come

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: to Jesus conversations. What you know? What do you think?

96
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: You know? And listen, if you think I was surprised,

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get asked I haven't been a coach, you know,

98
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't uh that that that'd be'd be silly, right,

99
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: So we knew I knew going in what the expectation

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: was going to be, the questions that we're gonna be asked,

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: and uh, I feel fully capable, excited about the opportunity

102
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: eight games to you know, Listen, here's a great part

103
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: about my career. I came in nobody expected anything. I'm here,

104
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: nobody expects anything. If it goes well, hopefully it'll go

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: extremely well. But I have no, uh preconceived notion that

106
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to be some spectacular or anything. I know

107
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: I got to work hard, and uh, I mean, you know,

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm audition and not only for this one, but for

109
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: for thirty one others, just like everybody else in this game.

110
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: And make no mistake, man, the job is win and

111
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: I know that's what I'm here to do. And how

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: can I how can I arm the guys in that

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: locker room, and how can I arm those coaches to

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: be the best they can be? Because again, I believe

115
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: in him. I wouldn't be here if I didn't, and

116
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: that that was made clear to both Jim and Chris.

117
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: If if I didn't believe in the guys in the room,

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: if I didn't believe the guys in that locker room,

119
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't show again. That's Jeff Saturday, who certainly has

120
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: a ton on his plate right now. He's got to

121
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: establish a practice plan, a game plan, meet with the media,

122
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: establish a play caller, and a de facto offensive coordinator

123
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, as the Colts currently

124
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: don't have a coach on their staff who was called

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: offensive plays before in the NFL, and of last night,

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: Saturday was still trying to figure that part out. Yeah,

127
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I haven't made a decision yet, but

128
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I've interviewed guys and I'm gonna continue to interview guys

129
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: on the staff and going through that and uh, y'all

130
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: have I'll decide something this evening. But it's you know,

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: I'm from a fire hydrant a little bit, so we're just,

132
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to meet with everybody, you know,

133
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: get this done and then uh yeah, I'll continue that part,

134
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: but we'll have a decision. I've met with the offensive staff.

135
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: I had a chance to meet with the defensive staff,

136
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: but I met with the entire staff and then already

137
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: a few guys and I'll continue that through the night

138
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: and come to a conclusion and we'll roll from there. Listen.

139
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: The great part about this, and I'll just say this

140
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: is there are fantastic coaches on this staff and men

141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: who have done this a long time. There's there's former

142
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: head coaches, but there are guys in that offensive room

143
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: who have called a lot of games and a lot

144
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: of plays, and there's a lot of men who have

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: put a lot of time into this. So I have

146
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: no fear. I will pick the right guy and we

147
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: will ride with it. So um yeah, I'm excited about

148
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I'm just trying to get a grasp of

149
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: what they're you know, what what their needs would be

150
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: for them, and how I can support them in doing that.

151
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: We'll make a move. Chris Ballard also met with the

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: media last night and talked about where the Colts are at.

153
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: The Colts ranked tenth in the AFC right now, out

154
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: of the playoff picture here at the moment, the offense

155
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: ranks last in the NFL and points scored. They're near

156
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of the league in almost every offensive category,

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: including sacks allowed and rushing, and he talked about the

158
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: disappointment of seeing Frank Reich leave the team and his

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: mindset for the last two months of the season. I

160
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: don't sit here and act like I don't share some

161
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: of the blame. I'm right, I dude, But I also

162
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: know that we got eight games left, and I'm not

163
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: just ready to fire the talon like everybody else. I mean,

164
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: the world's gonna fire the talent on us. We're not.

165
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: We're not throwing in the town. I mean. I talked

166
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: to the team today, talked to the coaches, visit with

167
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Jeff and we'll move forward. Frank, mister Arsay and I

168
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: visit about the mad decision. You know that was all

169
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: of us together. Mister mister Arsay and I had a

170
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: long We had a long talk you know here over

171
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: the last you know, twelve hours, you know, late last

172
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: night and when we decided to move forward as we did,

173
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: and I talked to Frank you know this morning star say,

174
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, talk to Frank, and then I talked to

175
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the team, and then I talked to the coaching staff.

176
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: Not easy, especially with Frank and eis relationship and it's

177
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: one where look, we both we both know that we

178
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: haven't been perfect by any stretch. And you know, it

179
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: was a hard day. It's a hard morning. That's Chris

180
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Ballard on the coaching changes for the Colts and a

181
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: guy that's lived this firsthand and knows what's going on,

182
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Rick Van Turry. Rick joined Colts Roundtable Live last night

183
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: here on the Fan and reflected on the two chances

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: he had in his career to take over on an

185
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: interim basis as a head coach, once with the Colts

186
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: and another opportunity with the New Orleans Saints, and he

187
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: mapped out the blueprint and the four things an interim

188
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: coach must do in short order. The first thing that

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: you have to do as an interim coach is you

190
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: have to take over fast. You have to apply your

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: leadership immediately. There can't be a gap. There doesn't have

192
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: to be any frank right bashing. As a matter of fact,

193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I would make that point right off the bat to

194
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: the team. There's going to be none of that. But

195
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,359
Speaker 1: you have to take over in every way with strong leadership.

196
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: And I think at this point emotional leadership, which I

197
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: think Jeff can provide, is really important. I think we've

198
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: lost a little bit of that touch. I think you

199
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: can ever forget that pro players are no different than

200
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: anybody else, and they will respond to some degree to emotion.

201
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: But you there can't be a leadership gap. You can't

202
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: work your way into the job. You take over today

203
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: to get ready to win a game in Las Vegas

204
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: on this Sunday coming up now. Number one. Number one

205
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: A is you have to sell your staff. You have

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: to sell your staff that they have got to give

207
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: everything they have, that they've got to pull together and

208
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: if we win and we pull it out, all only

209
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: good things can happen to everybody. Because this is devastating

210
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: to a staff. It's devastating, and you know, and they

211
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: don't know we you know. It's I think it's even

212
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: tougher sometimes when you're bringing somebody in from the outside

213
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: to the staff because they're used to their own people.

214
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Number three are all these you have to do simultaneously,

215
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: So you got to be prepared and hit the hit.

216
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: This isn't ESPN. You got to be ready to go.

217
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: You have to sell your team on why you're gonna

218
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: be better, and that's not given some pep talk about

219
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: you got to play better. You know, I was here

220
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: with Peyton manning all that. None of that matters. And

221
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: what you have to do is sell these guys on

222
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: what schematic changes you're going to make. How you're going

223
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to put them in a better position to win, what

224
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: you're going to do along that line to get it done.

225
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Pro players respond to one thing motivationally, and that is,

226
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: as a coach, are you putting me in the best

227
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: position to win? How are we going to turn this around?

228
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: And you have to sell that immediately. And then I

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: think number four, I think stay in your lane. Okay,

230
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: you're not all of a sudden going to be the

231
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: X and O guy. There's no way possible for that.

232
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: And you're taking a guy, you're taking a general practition

233
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: general practitioner, and you're saying, Okay, now you're going to

234
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: do brain surgery, So stay in your lane. You're basically

235
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: hired for what you have done here, what your image is,

236
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: and what your leadership skills are. You've got to define

237
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: your coaching staff immediately. There's going to take some work

238
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: to do that. On offense, you got to let Gus

239
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: and Bubba do their thing, and on offense you've got

240
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: to redefine exactly how everything is going to go, and

241
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: particularly how it's going to go on Sunday. Putting game

242
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: plans together is a cumulative action in installing to the

243
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: players that's pretty pretty standard. The key is who is

244
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: going to make those critical decisions on game time. That's

245
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: what separates the NFL guys, the good and the bad

246
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: and the average, to be honest with you, So it's

247
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: those four things. It's takeover leadership immediately. Bring that staff.

248
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Embrace your staff, get them ready to go, defined in

249
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: their roles, Sell your football team on why we're going

250
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: to get better, Why are we going to get better?

251
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: And then number four, stay in your lane. You've been

252
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: successful in life because of certain things. Don't get away

253
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: from them. Don't try to be somebody you're not not against.

254
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: Rick Venturi. That's from Colts Roundtable Live last night. Rick

255
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: Venturi there on his experience as an interim head coach

256
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: and what Jeff Saturday must be going through right now.

257
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: Certainly been a very eventful forty eight hours for the Colts,

258
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: really a busy three week period with changes to the

259
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: quarterback position, offensive coaching staff changes, now changes to the

260
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: head coach, trading a player at the trade deadline. Nine

261
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: hines now in Buffalo. We'll have plenty more on the

262

Speaker 1: for the first time and we'll also start to dive

264
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: into the Raiders coming up in week ten. We'll do

265
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: that on Wednesday's Colts Dally Update. Instant replays coming up next.
