On Wednesday, Polian told AP sports writer Michael Marot that not grooming a replacement for the injured Manning was the primary reason the Colts collapsed this season, going from Super Bowl contender to the league’s worst record. “I’ve always told the staff that our approach should be to hope for the best but plan for the worst, and I didn’t do an adequate enough job of planning for the circumstances we were in,” Polian said in a phone interview. “It led to this catastrophe.” When asked if he was referring specifically to finding a backup for Manning, Polian said: “Yes.”
