Will Chuck Pagano have job Monday morning?

[BobDaniels]

Would love to see Mcafee take a couple rounds as QB.

Then the Colts would need to find a new punter since he WILL get injured. Three injured QB's in one season does not reflect well on the "offensive" line.

Yeah. Pat is a real nice guy, doesn't deserve a suicide mission.

If any of you are looking for a belated Christmas present....Grigson would get walking papers as well....

Offensive line.....where

I predict that this will be Chuck's last year as the Colt's head coach. That being said, I'm amazed that the Colts are doing as well as they are. With all the "musical chairs", injuries and bad play calling that has been going on, we shouldn't be even close to .500. No doubt that the offensive line needs firming up, but other teams are having QB injuries this season. Luck needs to learn to "take a dive" when it is clear he is going to get hit. He needs lessons from Reggie Wayne. He had a long career, because he knew to go to the ground when it was obvious he was going to be hit. We have been spoiled by good early seasons when Luck took the field as a rookie. We really didn't have a rebuilding season after booting Peyton. Looks like this and maybe next season will be it. Hang in there sports fans; the best is yet to come!

Honestly, I would probably be ok with Chuck staying, if Grigson was gone. If Chuck goes and Grigson stays, I don't know if it will be worth it. Grigson couldn't find an o-line if he tried.

This is where I stand as well. Grigson can't stay if they dump Pagano. Yes, Pagano is the HC and typically is the one to take the hit for a bad season, but Grigson should have done MUCH more than he has since he came to town. He had the QB of a generation drop into his lap, and really hasn't built upon that. Getting Frank Gore should have been the cherry on the sundae, but he can't get a hole on run plays, and they can't stop the rush on pass plays. If watching our 1, 2, and 3 QBs get pasted all season isn't enough for Irsay to recognize that Grigson didn't get the job done after Luck, nothing will be.

Yeah. As much crap as Trent Richardson got (and deserved), AP couldn't run behind this line. Even he would only get 2 YPC.

I think the Colts have gone 50+ games with out a 100yd rushing effort by an individual back. Its clearly not a priority for them, which is unfortunate. Amazing how other "passing" teams out there still seem to have a decent running game.

It could be worse. We could have Chip Kelly

True. But we could also have Bill F-in Bellecheat as our head coach and couldn't win with the roster we have.

IF we had Billy B we wouldn't have the roster that we do now.

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

So now Josh Freeman (2009 first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Ryan Lindley (second-year QB out of Miami) are on the roster...why not call up Favre for a one-game contract? At least that would be entertaining.

They did contact Brett, but he was too busy selling jeans and Tommy Copper. On his off time he is busy sending digital photos of his "package".

Who does the GM take orders from? The Colts have had a core philosophy problem for years. Mistake #1, Andrew Luck. He's a good football player, but he's not worth what we had to give up to get him. If you're going to bank on a rookie QB, you need veteran protection up front. Too many rookies behind the ball. Mistake #2, tunnel vision in building the team. If you throw 80% of your resources to the passing game, your opponents will exploit the 20% to tear you down. Mistake #3, lack of authority on the team.... this one is huge.

If you watch what goes on on the sidelines, there's a total lack of respect for the chain of command. Maybe it is Pagano's fault, but it extends beyond the head coach. I've never seen so many players just walk past the coaches like they weren't there. That level of arrogance is antithesis of team. We've lost games and turned over the ball on penalties far more than we should have. Undisciplined players who are more interested in their endorsement deals, etc. than listening to the coaches will never form a cohesive team. I don't think it's the staffs fault. I think it goes higher. They want Gore to have a 1000yrd season. They want Luck to have a record. They want an individual player to make a headline more than they want team results. That's the kind of attitude that creates losers. I don't care if Gore is 1 yard away from the goal and there's one play left.... you call the right play, not the one that earns them a headline. It's the philosophy. A group of individual winners doesn't make a winning team. There is no I in team, and for the Colts, the I stands for Irsay.

Nailed it "But"........this falls to the head coach to set the tone in the locker room and on the field. Regardless of what happens above him he is the captain and there falls the responsibility to lead/guide. He is the hinge pin.

I don't want Pagano's job. Would you want to baby sit a bunch of over paid, under producing prima donnas?

For his salary..........HHhhhmmmmmmmmmm.......Nah

That is basically the job description for any head coach in pro-sports. I will say the Colts are better than most teams on having team players and fewer primadonnas.
