Mudd and Moore returning as Consultants

PrintClark Judge is reporting that Mudd and Moore have "tentatively agreed" to return as consultants:
The two no longer are full-time employees, but, according to Colts' owner Jim Irsay, have tentatively agreed to return as consultants -- there to help guide the club through the 2009 season from beginning to end.
"I've talked to them," said Irsay at this week's league meetings, "and know they would like to come back and do it and be part of it. They're going year to year (as far as their futures), but they want to be part of it, and I'm for that."
Here is the link.
If this is true, then it's fantastic news imo. It does however make the recent signings of Frank Winters and Ron Johnson a bit puzzling, but I trust that Irsay knows what he is doing. GO COLTS!!!

Oh, happy day!
Here’s a couple of links to describe how I’m feeling right now.

Thanks.
Every once in a while, I get a small burst of creativity. I try to be funny/creative with my “Random Fact of the Week,” but often without success. I’ve gotten a couple compliments about past ones though…

I like your "Random Facts"

Cool. Then I will.
No matter how long I post on the Internet, I always crave the compliments/validation. Glad that I hit on something. Now if only I could think of some during the week, instead of sitting in front of the computer for an hour on Saturday morning trying to think one up.

This is awesome and so relieving
That practically eliminates one of our top concerns going into the year. This is awesome.

Wooohooooo!!!!
I'd donate a kidney in exchange for Pdiddy and my colts to get 2 more Super Bowl rings...That's LUV
you just had a feeling this was going to happen
I knew they werent just going to disappear like that. sorry fans of the other teams if you think the colts are just going to disappear too. too much talent and this team is run too well to just disappear.
IM THRILLED! and not only do we have the assistants we have the assistants in waiting ready to take over whenever the legends TRUELY decide to hang it up
now we can get back to football and GET THAT RING. the circus is over.
and this is what we have been saying all along
We HAVE PEYTON….
“But it’s not just Peyton. We have (Dwight) Freeney. And (Robert) Mathis. And (Bob) Sanders. Reggie Wayne. Jeff Saturday. Joseph Addai. Anthony Gonzalez. Dallas Clark. We’ve got a lot of guys on this roster, and we have a lot of leaders, too. Our team is pretty close, but it comes down to: Do you have a quarterback and do you have those eight blue (chip) players? People feel you probably need eight, and I’m talking about Pro Bowlers in their primes who can contribute. If you have greatness at quarterback, you might not need eight, but we have the Mathises, the Freeneys, the Waynes and the Sanders.”
you can not debate the fact that this team has great players and players STILL have to perform…and for anybody or fans of other teams picking indy to fad away are sorely misguided. no team in this division comes close to the personal we have.
to win the division takes 4 things. luck. staying away from key injuries, great players and great coaches. we have 2 out of the 4. not alot of teams have 2 out of the 4 before they even step on the field.
law of averages because we have won for so long. thats not on my list
Funny
We’ve been hearing that going on 5 years now. The result? Five straight 12 win seasons.

The Colts deserve it. There is a small difference this year…No more Dungy. Good luck.
I'm your huckleberry...
Agreed
But your team still has Jack Del Rio, which likely means they’ll continue to stink it up in the AFC South. Good luck.
Oh, and Peyton Manning still plays for us. Just thought I’d throw that our there too.

Yeah well...
That hurts. Peyton is awesome. I can’t deny that. We’ll see about JDR vs Caldwell. So…bad luck to you, sir.

if you flip a coin 3 times
and the first two come up heads, what are the odds you get a 3rd heads in a row?

I would not recommend checking what I meant by YAY for BAYES
unless you want a math headache. That is the most frustratingly counter-intuitive stuff I’ve ever seen.

I'll be honest
I was never worried in the first place. They were planning to retire next year anyway, it isn’t something that wasn’t planned for some time ago. Then, when they decided to leave a year sooner than planned because of the pension issue, I was certain they would come back as advisors to finish sheparding their replacements.
It’s the best of both worlds and the best possible ending.

Access
Anyone know what type of access they’ll have on game day? I’d suspect the rules bar Mudd and Moore from communicating with players and coaches.

Interesting question
Anyone got any idea?

Yeah, but they're going to have to wait
According to Mike Chappell’s story today in the Star, “”http://www.indystar.com/article/20090520/SPORTS03/905200378/1004/SPORTS/Colts+add+to+coaching+staff" >Moore and Mudd would not be eligible to return for a minimum of six months, according to the NFL Coaches Association’s executive director, which would mean November at the earliest."
So, the early celebrating by our division rivals
was a tad premature?
YAY btw!

To quote Mark Twain
Rumors of [our] demise have been greatly exaggerated.
How can you not love a team that does this?
reggie
check out reggie comments regarding mudd and moore… www.reggiewayne.com
Oehser says Irsay wants them back by Training Camp
they can skirt the 6 months rule if Mudd and Moore are “unpaid” consultants until November.
I say “unpaid” because Irsay is probably working out a salary agreement with them now, and it’ll probably take into account their “unpaid” work in their post-November salary.
This has also been reported by Mike Chappell.
