Will Chuck Pagano have job Monday morning?

[Spear Dane]

Addai wasn't bad. He had a few good seasons and helped win the SB.

You are correct, I had forgot about him.

All teams are beat up. Green Bay lost their #1 receiver before the season started. Carolina is without their #1 receiver and back. Denver lost Peyton for weeks. Arizona is down to their 3rd string back. Seattle is down to their 3rd string RB too. Cincy lost Dalton. KC is missing couple key defensive guys. New England lost their RB, #1 and #2 receivers, and Gronk missed couple weeks. We lost one main player (Luck), but the truth is we weren't playing well with him. Other teams won with more injuries to main players than the Colts. We are not a championship caliber team.

You seemed to have forgotten Reggie Wayne, Robert Mathis and Jeff Saturday, among others.

Are you talking about 2015? Only Mathis was on the team this year. I'm talking about injuries not those that were not on the opening day roster.

And Mathis has not been effective since his injury.

Pagano is staying! Contract extended. Now they need to fire Grigson.

 

[jblomenberg16]

Glad to here chuck is staying. Gotta put their money where their mouth is.

I agree 100% .....

Absolutely.

Presser is in a few minutes per WISH-TV.

My God, it's difficult, to uh, listen to, uh, Irsay, uh, speak.

 

[308jake]

New drinking game....take a shot every time Irsay says "uhm." 2 minutes in and I'm wasted.

Grigson must have taken Public Speaking 101 with Irsay.

And Pagano clearly audited the class.

Really? What stats are you looking at? Have you watched him in recent games?

He is a shell of his former self. He got 8 sacks in single coverage. Far cry from 20 and being double teamed majority of the time. And your other guys are no longer on the Colts. Do you realize that now? I'm sorry if you are a die hard Mathis fan, but Father Time and injuries have caught up to him.

Edit:By the way, I'm not bashing him. I'm bashing Grigson for leaving the cupboard empty. Read my entire previous post and see for yourself. 10 surgeries to one knee would limit Superman. But the fact remains, we have NO depth and very few difference makers.

I wonder how all the talking heads who guaranteed Pagano had coached his last game in Indy will spin their "Dewey Beats Truman" headline?

Exactly. I am a very happy camper.

 

[SteveM4A1]

Good for Chuck. He is an inspirational coach. Now we just need that o-line and defense to get better

 

[Cygnus]

Good for him. The deserves a shot. So many crucial bad breaks. Two QB's going down? One a star one a rested veteran who was winning.....that sucks.....and you guys were still in it until the last week. That is a sign of a good "team". Usually a reflection on the coach. Usually.

Jim?

What makes anyone think that Jim Harbaugh isn't exactly where he wants to be?

Agreed, it would have taken a lot of cash. I did read that Irsay talked to Gruden. Gruden had two conditions - fire Grigson - give Gruden say in hiring/firing/drafting/control of players. Now we know how that went.

That is what usually works for a winning combo.

I love Gruden.

 

[Landon]

Does anyone feel that Irsay had feelers out and realized that there just wasn't anybody that was interested in the job that would do it any better than Pagano?

He talked to Gruden. Irsay wouldn't agree to Gruden's terms. You know...stuff to win...and stuff.
