Yes, the Colts were 2-14 last season, and yes, Caldwell made some questionable calls during his stint here. However, I don't believe he should have been fired. I believe the reason that the Colts played so badly last season without Peyton is because they refused to draft or trade for a decent backup QB. They have had ample opportunity to do so.
While I despise the New England Patriots, I have to admire how they continued to play well when they lost their star quarterback, Tom Brady, to injury back in 2008. They still won 11 games with backup QB Matt Casssel.
There's no reason the Colts couldn't have drafted someone like Cassel. So, I think Caldwell's firing is mostly window dressing and a bit misguided.
