I know why they waited a month. My point is they waited a month and then announced it a few hours early with no contract. The GM said the announcement was all on him and he assumed McDaniels would do what he said but he (the GM) should have waited for the contract a few hours later.

Bottom line is you don't go making company announcements off of handshake deals. You let the media report (or you leak a deal is done) until the Ts are crossed and the Is are dotted.

McDaniels comes off bad and is probably toxic to 31 teams, but the Colts continue to be bumbling fools in the front office.
