Most excellent story.

ESPN should stick with this type of thing, really.

It’s great to read about Caldwell’s early career since the only thing most people know about is Wake Forest. I loved the part where Bill McCartney at University of Colorado said he actually cried when Caldwell said he was leaving. Also, it’s good to see that it wasn’t Caldwell’s fault for the diaster at Wake since he turned Wake’s offense around, but how did he end up being a offensive guy when he started out being a defensive back at Iowa?

Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!

Same way Dungy ended up a defensive guy

when he started as a QB at Minnesota.

it goes a little weirder

the college QB, Dungy, has this first pro job as a DBs coach

the college DB, Caldwell, broke into the Pros as a QBs coach

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

It's shocking how much can slip your perception

Even your eyes lie

Excellent story - thanks for posting

After seeing his constantly stoic looks, I had wondered / worried about his ability to fire up the team and honestly thought more of the drive was coming from Manning than from Caldwell. It’s clear that Caldwell is at least as much in the thick of it.

How can you not love a team that does this?

Don't you feel like

Peyton still has like a “Still, I’d rather have Dungy instead” feeling?

GO COLTS!

I think Peyton has a hard time with change, tbh.

Which I can completely relate to, btw. He said the same thing about Lane Kiffin when he was named the new coach of Tennessee after Peyton’s old coach, Fulmer, was let go. Of course, after all of Kiffin’s jawing this season, I’m pretty sure Peyton HAS made up his mind about him and I doubt its good. I digress, sorry about that.

Irsay and Polian will ahve to remember to send Tony a SB ring when the time comes.

Oh, I want a super bowl victory so badly for Jim, this group of players and their fans!
SO BADLY!
If decency and class alone could win games Tony would have had ten rings. Jim is right there, too.
Go Colts!
