IndyMark Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Living in Indy during the time of the Colts HC turnover (Mora let go) it was clear and well documented that when Irsay heard TB let go Dungy he (Irsay) searched him out and hired him. Clearly, Polian was in support of this, but let us not think for a moment that Polian brought Dungy's name to Irsay and asked for his permission or that Irsay said to Polian "hey, hire whomever you want". I bring this up for several reasons: (a) many posters here continually say the GM needs to hire the HC for a situation to 'work'....this is NOT true 100% of the time (again see INDY). (b) many posters here feel RW is too hands on of an owner and that will not work. Again, see Irsay in Indy. You cannot get more hands on than he is (well maybe jerry jones) but he is a pretty active owner. Sure the media front is all Polian but the reality is Irsay drives that wagon. That is no secret to those that follow the team at all. © Therefore, that Levy or whomever did NOT hire MM, means almost nothing to the potential of success for the '06 Bills.
