    Fired

    in Colts Football

    No, firing coaches now doesn't do the team any good. Coaches may be fired at seasons end, but doing it now is not the time

    why not throw in Chubdzinski? Really don't see Chud and Pagano as colts next year anyway?

    Why Changing Coaches Could do More Harm than Good

    I don't believe we need wholesale changes across the board but we need to get better in 2 places. That offensive line is horrific. I'm not sure if the guys are mostly all bad, the coaching is mediocre or the scheme doesn't match the talent. For example, last week against Dallas, their starting RT is out and a backup is in. We don't get 6 feet from Romo. We have seen our starters in and watched backups light our line up and get a hit at minimum on Luck. So is our RT guys so god awful that most anyone can get around or through them? Are the competition teams stocked with such superior back ups that our healthy starters can't get to a QB?

    So if the answer is we have such bad talent on the line, who is the guy responsible for saying this guy is a good fit on our line? If the guy they picked isn't a good fit for our scheme play isn't replaced or the scheme altered to match the talent, who does this fall on? I will never understand what's going on with the center spot. Last year, everyone seen a better player in AQ Shipley but watched in horror Satele playing. Then the team ships him off only to get him back and let's him start a few games after saying Holnes was our man. To me either the coaching and front office are not on the same page or the line coach is schizophrenic.

    The second need is at rushing the passer. Yes I know Mathis is out, I also realize Mathis is aging as well. We are pinning our hopes on an aging star caught with an illegal substance in his system(maybe or maybe not used for the right reason) and then coming off an Achilles tear. That's not a great recipe for speed and age. Saying all that, he is out and has been and we haven't been able to reap havoc like we have wanted to. With Davis on the outside and Adams playing a solid safety spot, your telling me our d-coordinator can't manufacture better?

    I'm all for Pagano being a rah rah coach and having his players want to play for his team but he has to hold his coaching staff to a higher standard. Since his leukemia scare, he is not the same hard core football man he was in Balt. We haven't seen the same fruits we expected, no identity for our defense, or offense for that matter.

    If it were me, I'd change the oline coach at a minimum and think hard about a Rex Ryan defensive coordinator change. His system would consist of tweaks, not wholesale changes imo.
