I married one. Jim Caldwell was one too. Tip to Kuharksy
I know of a Greek labyrinth which is a single straight line. Along this line so many philosophers have lost themselves that a mere detective might well do so too.
While most of the football world and much of the Colts fan base were outraged by the team’s decision not to attempt a perfect season, Caldwell negotiated that simple labyrinth from a to b, from the regular season to the Super Bowl, with dignity and conviction. It is not that he was without imagination, a dull ant compelled to go in a single direction. He was not unaware of the significance of a perfect season. Rather, he preferred a simple and elegant straight line to grandiloquent narratives.
In my view, his decision has already been validated. A win on Sunday, however, would put an exclamation point to it.
