The DUMBEST COACHING COMMENT in Colts HISTORY | Colts @ Jets (1982)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2022
- Prior to a 1982 NFL game between the Baltimore Colts and New York Jets, Colts head coach Frank Kush was so not confident in his team's ability to win the game that before the game, he flat out predicted that his Colts would lose. Turns out, he was right, as what followed was one of the biggest blowouts at the time in franchise history. This is the story behind Frank Kush and his dumb prediction made

in 1981, the Colts' defense gave up a ridiculous 533 points. Still an NFL record.
As bad as the D was, the O helped the point total rise that high. Bert Jones' interception rate was among the worst in the NFL (he tossed 20 of the team's 23 picks and the team was -7 in turnovers) and the team was outscored roughly 33-16 on average that season. That was the worst point differential by about a touchdown. To give you an idea how bad their point differential was, the Patriots, who tied them in the standings that season, had a point differential of only -48 (outscored roughly 23-20 on average). The Colts defense also set a single-season record for yards allowed, but the 2012 Saints' D has since shattered that.
JG9, keep these stats mind if you ever do a video specific to the 1981 Colts.
@@marcus813 The Patriots 2-14 season was an outlier (rare is it for a 2-14 teams to have a respectable point diff considering the record), but the Colts were the real deal when it came to poor play (in fact, the 1978-1986 stretch was mostly embarrassing for the franchise; even in 1983, when they showed signs of life, they lost twice to the Broncos, who had the franchise quarterback that wouldn't play for them).
A reminder of why John Elway didn't want to play for him!
Kush had the exact same number of wins in his lone season in the CFL as he did in his entire three-year run in the NFL.
Oh, how I remember the 1982 Colts! Not good memories, of course.
The offense seemed to consist of "Run McMillan left, run McMillan right, run McMillan on 3rd and 20".
Coach McKay was asked..."How do you feel about your teams execution today?"...his response "I'm all for it" lol.
I wouldn't say dumb but rather accurate. The 1982 Colts were bad. Real bad. When the highlight of your season is a tie, you're bad. They were bar none the worst team in football at that time. They had nothing. Not one player on this team was any good. The Irsay's gave him a 3 legged horse and he knew it.
But, oh Lord, was he awful
"How do you feel about the execution of your team?"
"I'm in favor of it."
Frank Kush is the classic example of a college coach who had no business coaching a professional football team. He was successful at Arizona State University coaching boys he could be a dictator and was verbally abusive with his players and could get away just about with anything because he was successful.
When he got to the NFL to coach the Indianapolis Colts he found out that it was a completely different ballgame. The players have just as much if not more say as the head coach. And they were not going to put up with any dictator bullshit. 90% of Successful college coaches that try to coach in the NFL are complete and total failures. The latest being Urban Meyer.
And insult to injury, an Arizona State game was used as the football game in Used Cars, likely was the game against Wazzu (for "Kansas City" vs "Denver") which was their first game post-Kush--ASU won 28-17
John Elway knew to stay away from Frank Kush. I believe Elway said he thought Kush was just a terrible coach and even worse human. Good call, Mr. Elway.
The Colts are a glorified farm system for the Denver Broncos.
-Barry McCockiner
Elway knew about Kush from their days in the then-Pac-10. I don't blame Elway for not wanting any part of Kush.
@@marcus813 Wasn't there something about Elway's dad and Kush that caused John Elway to hate him? I seem to remember hearing about that.
@@DolFan316 Jack Elway didn't want his son to play for a head coach who treated his players like boot camp. Kush was notorious for being a taskmaster (involved both physical and emotional abuse) and Arizona State ran that bum after he punched his punter during a game against Washington. I'm not sure what the Tiger-Cats and Colts saw in Kush TBPH.
John Elway did not want to play for a coach who was such a stern disciplinarian who was so hard on his players. His Dad Jack Elway did not want his son to play for Kush either.
At least Jim mora actually waited till after the game, you know the one I mean
Playoffs? Are you kidding me? Playoffs?
Pagel was their 4th round pick playing ahead of their #4 overall pick Art Schlichter... One of the biggest draft busts and fat larger bust as a human being.
And they could have had Jim McMahon... But Kush was such a hardass he would have cut McMahon the moment he stepped out of the limo with a beer.
My dad was a very briefly a walk-on at Arizona State near the end of Kush's tenure. Still got some pretty good stories out of it
It almost seemed like Kush put almost all the emphasis on conditioning at the expense of execution before the season. So when the strike hit (a strike Kush should have seen coming) he had nothing. Still, though, not a good way to approach things after the strike.
Frank Kush was an absolute dumpsterfire as an NFL head coach. Whether it was going 2-22-1 over 2 years as head coach, from allegedly slapping an player, or Roger Carr being suspended for 3 games due to conduct detrimental to the team, after Carr wanted to leave the Colts.
He’s one of the worst, down there with Gase, Hue, and worse than Kotite IMO
Don't forget, "Ladies and gentlemen Norval Turner"
@@mgb4692 With the Chargers, yes. All that talent and you get epic failure
He’s a guy I wish the Raiders tried to rebuild with instead of Shell or Kiffin. He never had a real QB yet led us to a decent 2005 season minus the 6 game losing streak.
Who says these things? How can a head coach, who has all week to prepare and lead his players to a victory, say these things? And yes, Frank Kush was really not a good coach...."we are not going to win this game...we flat out suck" is not an endorsement of your team's chances. Excellent video
And your explanation of Kush's stamina and conditioning was excellent--Comparing it to 1980 USA Hockey strategy. Very true
@@nasetvideos Herb Brooks told his team, “You don’t have enough talent to win on talent alone.”
@@CTubeMan Neither did the 1982 Colts. Kush's idea was sound. Nothing was going to get them into the playoffs, but his idea would have kept them from being a complete embarrassment. The strike blew it up. The Colts DID flat-out suck, and Kush never had any filter.
Looking at that roster that you included, jeez; no wonder the Colts didn't win a game in 1982. I can recognize maybe three names on there, one of them being an infamous bust and the other being a journeyman QB.
The Colts had a good running back tandem in Randy McMillan & Curtis Dickey, Johnnie Cooks was pretty good, Nesby Glasgow had a solid career, and Rohn Stark was one of the NFL's best punters (he was able to see the field A LOT, and it wasn't due to his great vision either), but otherwise this was one sorry roster, what a shame this once-great franchise became at that point.
Rohn Stark, the last Baltimore Colt to play in the NFL (1997 Hawks, naturally his first game was against the Ravens in Baltimore where Jermaine Lewis housed him twice)
"We're not going to win this game." As Jaguar Gator 9 would say...
"I'm sorry... WHAT?!?"
This is the 3rd Frank Kush video you’ve done in 6 months. The entire Bills, 49ers, Seahawks & Texans franchises have had 2 videos “revolving” around them in the last 6 months each.
What if I told you tomorrow’s video was about a Bills/Seahawks game…
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Wow! It took me over 20 minutes to carefully look through all 32 teams pages to see which of their videos predominantly feature the teams in question since there are videos in each franchises category that barely involve that particular team.
Now I understand finding any 49ers material is hard since they’ve been only really bad before the 80’s and while Dennis Erickson was coaching. Seattle has been the best franchise ever since Mike Holmgren got there in 1992 which leaves only 16 seasons of futility. The Houston Texans only existed in 2002. The Bills however should’ve had more material; other than Lou Saban, Marv Levy & Sean McDermott they’ve been pedestrian and forgettable but not the absolute worst between the years 1967-1971 and 2000-2013.
I’m not certain if me bringing it up had anything to do with it (it likely didn’t) or this was just dumb luck on my part.
@@okolo22000 I'm from Western New York (Angola, between Buffalo & Erie, PA) and the 1967-1986 stretch (sans O.J., The Electric Company, Lou Saban Part II, The Bermuda Triangle, and the Chuck Knox years) is the worst in terms of morale and terrible seasons, but 2000-2016 was just sad, since oftentimes it seemed that that team was happy enough winning a handful of games a years and keeping the score competitive, but on most occasions they were about as exciting to watch as a load of laundry in the dryer (glad I never was a Bills fan, but I felt sorry for the fanbase after awhile).
@@gluserty Being a Bills fan since 1990 (I was only 9 at that time mind you) I don’t particularly remember anything that happened before Marv Levy & Jim Kelly got there so my knowledge anytime before then is extremely flaky.
@@okolo22000 That's good to hear, as 1990 was a great season to become a Bills fan (I feel they were 1990's best & most complete team). My first memory of the Bills was 1988, when I was 11 and lots of 5th graders were wearing those AFC East division champion shirts (1988 was when I became interested in football, but didn't become truly knowledgeable about it until 1991).
Kush was who he was. He always talked like this, and the Colts knew what they were getting when they hired him.
The talent level on that team was dreadful, and he knew it. He had a plan to make them competitive, and it showed some good signs before the strike. He knew what was going to happen when they didn't work out for two months. He shouldn't have said those things, but again, this is who Kush was. They weren't going to win whether their coach put them down or not. They just sucked.
Well, he was just honest and not wrong.
From '78-86 the Colts were the league's worst team in both winning percentage and point differential, and it wasn't even close. Even the Bucs and Saints put them to shame.
My team was the best in both categories during this period BTW. Just sayin' 😎
I agree, one of the worst stretches for any team, especially from a franchise that once was one of the faces of the league.
I'm sure you could do a whole playlist on Kush alone, JG9!
I'm not an unofficial JG9 historian, but I will point out that at least Frank Kush didn't give a demotivating speech to the Colts before they got slaughtered like Tommy Prothro
Are you sure? You have an open invitation to the faculty lounge after this.
@@CTubeMan why thank you sir, and I must say your research of JG9 history is impeccable
@@arizonawrestlinginterviews1040 Thank you. You’re also helping new subscribers and prospects enjoy this channel.
The colts went 0-8-1 in 1982, which gave them john elway, who never wore a blue(not navy blue) jersey in the nfl
Except for his VLT-winning years.
I wanna go to a dispensary here in Tucson and find a strain called Frank Kush. I bet it only has a 3% THC level
That is awesome !! I just grabbed some Morockin Kush - what was I thinking:)
I'm guessing Frank Kush would be one strict strain of medical marijuana, and not a winning formula for a true pro.
Happy July 4th
Because of Frank Kush, it led to a domino effect with John Elway staying away and thus Baltimore loses a team due in part to the city & state trying commit a unconstitutional seizure. Granted, it was the Irsays but still...
They would’ve moved regardless probably, it may not be to Indy though
If Maryland didn’t try eminent domain, he’d probably move them to Jacksonville. That was a city who had an inferiority complex, and wanted a team, and it fits the bill for the Irsays’ pill-popping desires
Sad part was, Accorsi held all the cards, he even had Elway beginning to relent on his threats. He knew that John Elway wasn't going anywhere in the MLB, he read the baseball scouting reports that basically said he was a fringe prospect. Irsay decided to drunk dial the Broncos and trade him away. For a shitty guard and a shitty backup quarterback and a low first round pick. So...in a way, you lost one of the greatest GMs and Quarterbacks in the NFL in one drunken phone call. Ernie Accorsi left the team after 1983 after this incident.
@@bigdrew565 And what if Elway retired a Colt? And eventually becomes GM?
Maybe he attracts Peyton Manning to Indy anyway and wins them another SB? (Cuz they don’t draft Manning if Elway is Indy)
@@sawyertuide7636 who knows? Irsay was such a wildcard depending on how intoxicated he was. The prevailing opinion was that they might have never had to move. But I'm not really buying it. Baltimore and Maryland only started giving a shit about the colts when Irsay moved the team.
There's a lot of what ifs in this scenario, what if Irsay wasn't a hands on drunk asshole? What If Jack Elway didn't have a negative run in with Frank Kush? What if Baltimore and Maryland actually listened and built a new stadium? Who knows? I'm just a disgruntled Giants fan. 😆 Ernie Accorsi built our 2007 team, he started with a quarterback.
No wonder Elway didn't want to even be with him.
Frank Kush not the only NFL head coach who overemphasized conditioning. In his only season coaching the Vikings, Les Steckel was notorious for his Marine boot camp-like preseason. Same predictable bad results. Bob Irsay must've been a Detroit fan growing up in Chicagoland which explains all the ex-Lions players on the team and the silver on the Colts' uniforms in the 1980s, a dreadful look that made the transition to India-no-place but was abandoned years later.
Pete McCulley who coached the 49ers in 1978 was another. Jim Plunkett said in his autobiography that McCulley honestly thought that lifting weights would win a championship! The 49ers had a rash of injuries that season & McCulley only lasted nine games before he got fired. Yeah Joe Thomas was the general manager at the time but, he still stunk as a head coach!
@@chj7667 Joe Thomas brought Pete McCulley to the NFL as receivers coach on Howard Schnellenberger's staff with Baltimore Colts. McCulley added conditioning coach to his title in transition to Ted Marchibroda era. When Thomas lost a power struggle to Marchibroda, McCulley was gone from the Colts, too.
Kush really wasn’t cut out for the NFL, he should’ve just stayed at Arizona State.
He couldn't--he had to resign after a special-teamer sued him for hitting him during a game.
@@pronkb000 gotcha, either way he proved his methods of coaching didn’t work at the pros
No one can make the jump to the NFL like Denny Green.
Well, he ain't wrong!
Is this the coach that John Elway refused to play for?
Yep
I feel like you need to make a video on Kush on JG8 just to be fair
So, the 1982 Colts: terrible team, but boy, were they in shape! If it was intramurals, then the 1982 Colts would be a boss.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about the Colts starting quarterback in this game, Mike Pagel, and him working out with the Browns before the 1986 season.
from 1978 until peyton became their quarterback ; the colts were just dreadful- a reflection of robert irksay
The only thing that saved Bob Irsay from being one of the worst owners in NFL history is Ted Marchibroda coaching the Colts to competitiveness in the 1970's and mid 1990's when the Colts on paper shouldn't have been. Especially during the 70's post Johnny Unitas when they had to deal with a stacked AFC that included Pittsburgh, Oakland and Miami.
@@davester1970 That 1995 Colts were the first non-strike season in which the team was a true threat. Since Yes Marchiborda was twice involved in Colt revivals, that can't be a coincidence.
Great foreshadowing on the part of Frank Kush.
If you know your team is bad but as a head coach u keep that to yourself and don’t tell the media about it
man alive.. I wish I'd heard that at the time, and I wish I was old enough to bet (legally) in 1982. I'd have (literally) bet the farm on the Jets winning.
I will never blame John Elway for wanting to play anywhere besides Indianapolis. Frank Kush was a terrible head coach and was terrible at handling people in his own organization. I’m still wondering how he got a head coaching job in the NFL. I mean yeah he was pretty good in college football but there’s a huge difference between college and the NFL. In college you’re coaching 18 year olds and 20-something year olds while in the NFL you’re handling men. Also the game is a whole lot faster in the NFL than it is in college and the NFL players are premier athletes.
Jimmuh might be the 🐐 from that standpoint. Walsh and Carroll had years in the NFL (also AFL in Walsh's case) before they went to the Pac so they're not really the same. Vermeil and Green alternated stops in the NFL before their college gigs so who's left?
You can personally thank Kush for expediting the Colts to Indianapolis in '84 and for opening the door for that anti-Christ Modell to send the original Browns to Baltimore in '95.....
Urban Meyer must be Frank Kush's long lost son! 🤔🤔
Nice Earl Weaver impersonation at 8:45!
Earl Weaver did it better
And yet it’s still not the most memorable way a Colts coach told the press how bad his team was.
😁
Redskins worked out as a team on their own while on strike, Theismann lead practices on some practice field not affiliated with the NFL. Lead to a superbowl victory. You can trust your players to be in great shape and game ready on their own if you have the right players.
I hate the amount of comments of non Baltimoreans in this section … the fans revolted against Bob Irsay … and they were fed up with his stuff … the O’s were in World Series contention every year at that point and the colts were the opposite.::
Schaefer shouldn’t have threatened imminent domain but that’s besides the point … the bottom line is … this team sucked by design ..: don’t blame the city of Baltimore for the incompetence of a drunk
Especially when there's so many other tings to blame the city of Baltimore for. I hear that place has been unliveable for decades.
@@DolFan316 now u being coded … I’m speaking strictly on sports business , not the other politically charged stuff u are insinuating at … sports have been stable on the business end here with the Ravens and the resurgence of the Orioles …. Sports only … take that take to another user
Jets......win? That can't be right......
I am a Jets fan and that is hilarious! Yet true 🤣😂🤣😂
@@chj7667 I've been a Jets fan for more than 20 years now. The last 10 have been rough, for sure
How was Frank Kush allowed to coach the Colts after 1982 is beyond me.
I saw this disaster of a season. Kush had no business being in the NFL
Hard to pay for a guy that doesn't think you can win and tells everyone. He works them super hard and talks about how talentless they are. Weird that Elway didn't want to pay there. I do miss those grey Colts pants though.
ACTUALLY...the Dolphins had a hard time in Baltimore the previous season, scraping by 31-28. They even led 14-0 in that game too. So IMO Kush shouldn't even get any credit for that.
Frank Kush is a strong contender for worst coach in NFL history.
Sadly, he's not even close. For one thing Kush actually won 7 games in a season. Hue Jackson and his 1-31 record over two seasons is the standard by which all horrible NFL coaches are measured.
@@DolFan316 At least Hue wasn't slapping his players in the face and insulting them in public media. Kush is the main reason why Elway refused to play for the Colts, and thus his abysmal "coaching" eventually forced the Colts out of Baltimore.
@@saubergt2390 1-32. That should be all I have to say. Hu would've gotten better results if he DID slap his players and TBH today's players NEED slapped for the insane things they say and do, they're essentially overgrown 5-year olds.
Frank Kush should've stayed up in Canada. Another dumb College to NFL hire; though at least Kush lasted longer than Lou Holtz and Urban Meyer.
And the week before, the Colts were shutout by the Bills 20-0 .... where the Colts offense didn't even cross the 50 yard line (one of the few times in NFL history that has happened)
I wonder if Frank Kush and Ed Biles were related in some way.
be real. kush is not the reason colts left baltimore for indy. that is all on the old drunk irsay. crybaby elway just used kush as one of his many reasons not to go to colts.
He should have been a conditioning coach. As a head coach he was horrid.
As a conditioning coach, Kush would've been perfect for the '80s. Screaming, "NO PAIN NO GAIN!" in someone's ear for an hour or two was really all it took to be one at that time.
Coach was passed because he knew without all that Xtra co turning that theu would fall behind behind not catch bakc up over the rest of the season
These videos have good content/subject matter and superb details, but run 6-7 minutes too long, unless you like hearing yourself talk.
Kush, has to be
The worst coach in nfl history, until Rich Kotite and Urban Meyer
