All Colts Head Coach Discussions (merge) The Indianapolis Colts Are Officially Eliminated From The 2017 Playoffs

[BlueShoe]

With 4 weeks still left to play, the Colts are officially eliminated from the 2017 playoffs. 

 

Colts fall to 3-9. 

 

Coaching overhaul likely to come soon. The only question left is do the Colts wait until seasons end or pull the trigger now.

 

Shortly, the Indy media will start chattering and predicting Pagano’s last day.

[Flash7]

We were eliminated  in January when Luck had his surgery. This was just a formality.

[#12.]

Third losing season since 1998.

My guess is Irsay and Ballard ride out the last 4 games. I don't see a late season coaching change. The coordinators I think are more in jeopardy "should" a firing happen

We’re just here chillin.

The only constant over that period are the uniforms.  Look at the trend - things have gone downhill since we won that runner-up banner.

Can you name a coordinator or coach that you think is deserving of returning in 2018?

Yes. Which makes this completely unacceptable.

 

The usual standard hasn't been met, and changes need to be made.

[shakedownstreet]

well darn. i thought we still had a shot at the super bowl until today 

[Colts_Fan12]

Cant wait til black Monday this off-season will be fun!!

[Malakai432]

I was unable to watch the game today but it appears I didn’t miss much.  Been a bad week for football with Wisconsin, Miami and the Colts losing...... meh...  

[Colts_Fan12]

Looks like savage is playing decent now maybe that won't be a win again

Nope. But I think the odds of seeing a coordinator fired mid season is higher than a HC

Pagano is or should be gone he is the worst coach in the league.

Should be fun!

I really do wish we start cleaning house this week, so we can start putting our short lists together and start interviews as early as possible.

I expect the new head coach will want to hire people he knows and respects.  It is a very big task to hire an entire new staff.

Eleven individuals without a coherent plan can't beat an NFL team very often no matter how much talent they have.  My guess is most of our players would do well with good coaching.

I thought we were eliminated when Grigson and Pagano received extensions.  

[MTC]

I have wanted Pagano fired for almost three seasons now. He's a nice guy and has good relations with his players, but terrible game manager.

 

I would have to think Chris Ballard wants to bring his own staff in, but if he doesn't, next year is just going to be another wasted season like this year. Even with Andrew Luck back.

 

 

[IinD]

Just a bit outside.

Getting a coaching staff is a tall order.

The "usual standard" hasn't been met for the past three years.  Third straight non-winning season under Chuck Pagano.  The "usual standard" around here is mediocrity right now.

[Dark Superman]

We were eliminated the second we named Chuck Pagano our HC for the 2017 season.

[Jules]

And all this time I had hope we sneak in and go on a 2011 Giants style of run........

[OLD FAN MAN]

you mean we no longer have a chance even if everyone else loses all their games?

[NewEra]

Never thought they had a chance

[OLD FAN MAN]

we can hope one team turns it down and gives us their spot

[LockeDown]

it's okay.  For public approval,  Goodell is handing out participation banners this year.  Part of the new campaign. "The NFL.  Nobody Freakin Loses."  However, Peyton declined this commercial though.

I’m right there with you man. This is long overdue. Pagano and whoever he employs are perennial under achievers. He should have left when Grigson did and never been extended.

[strt182]

I think shotty and possibly Chuck stays. Dont care either way if Chuck goes really but Shotty has shown his worth.

[ricker182]

Nope. Not yet.  

  

Just eliminated from the AFC South.

I think If Chuck stays Shotty probably does too.  But I don't think he has clearly shown his worth.  Brissett is still making some of the same mistakes he made in his earlier starts.  I was expecting more progress than he has shown.   He has a long way to go IMO. 

[Colts_Fan12]

If chuck stays this team deserves to have an empty stadium every week next year

You missed Quincy Wilson finally getting some playing time when Desir got hurt and did not return.

You also missed a wacky PAT miss where Josh Lambo stepped over the football.
