[Gotta love the AFC South]

Shouldn't the goal be a SB? Why does winning a garbage division excite anyone? We all know they'd get steamrolled in January.

[2 Blowout losses and one thing remains true]

What would fans rather have:

 

A) Team wins division only to be pumbled by a better team in the postseason. Chuck returns OR

 

B) Lose as many games as possible and bring in a new coach. It may be a ling shot but I'd contact NE to see if Belichick is available.

[TY guarantees Colts win in browns game.]

I'd be more impressed if he guaranteed a win against the likes of Pittsburgh, Seattle, Denver, or Baltimore. Quite frankly, any wins vs the Browns should be meaningless.

[If Bob Sanders wasn't glass, how many Super Bowl titles do the Colts win in the Manning era?]

Tough to say. Let's be honest here though: The Colts had no business losing to Pittsburgh in 05 & SD in 07. Those teams really under achieved. They won in 06. That said , Brady was the only decent QB they faced. They were also very lucky to get Rex Grossman in the one SB they did win.

He doesn't need to be.  I think that he signed a 4 year extension before last year, so after this coming year he has 2 more years, if not let go in 2017.

 

If he is to get an extension, it should be at the conclusion of the 2018 season, for he would be heading into the final year of his contract in 2019.  Can't repeat that mistake of having a potentially lame duck coach.   

 

Ergo, I think if the Colts make the playoffs this coming year, then he is "retained" for the following year, and it is thereafter that decision time comes.  For 2019 you either have to fire him or give him an extension.

Sorry. Meant to ask if he comes back with a playoff appearance next season.

[Colts have a chance to make a major turn around in 2017]

Any chance Pagano gets extended with a playoff appearance?

[Season Ticket Renewal]

If this team doesn't win soon.....well fsns won't show up. This isn't Cleveland or Green Bay.

 

I expect a division title at minimum next season. 

[Its been 10 years since this...]

We were one and done 7 times during the Manning era. Three ( 99,05,07) of those times after a first round bye. That's most disappointing to me more than anything else.

 

The 05 and 07 losses were inexcusable. Got out coached and the other team was mentally sharper.

[Thank you Pat McAfee]

Good luck Pat

[Report (as of 01/28/17): Chris Ballard back for second interview]

Rappaport said the new GM will want full autonomy without having to go through Irsay.

[5 years ago to the day]

Whose to say the next coach won't be worse than Chucky? Man is definitely underrated. 

[Poll: Who do you want to be our next GM?]

Baalke.

[GM Candidates, including Jimmy Raye (merge)]

OT a bit here. Why was a 6 time SB, hof, class act like Polian fired in 2011? I never truly understood that. Not asking sarcastically by any means. 

[I Hope Chuck Stays]

Kyle Shanahan is likely taking the Niners job. Why stick with Pagano, lose Shanahan, and risk getting a mediocer coach after Chuck is gassed next year? 

[Jon Gruden turns down Colts job despite interest from Irsay]

It's disrespectful and unethical to try and interview someone for an already filled position. Don't want Grigano as GM coach? Fire them. 

[Per Alex Marvez Pagano will be back as HC in 2017 (merge)]

Continuity is key. We can't Change coaches every few years. Chuck needs a chance.

[Colts fans may hear something by Jan. 12th(My guess)]

Make Saban head of all football operations. McDaniels as coach.

[on JMV today / Peyton Manning rumors (merge)]

Well what if Irsay wants to talk with potential candidates who are in the playoffs? Maybe he is waiting to talk with some. If it doesn't work out...bring Pagigson back.

[No comments from Irsay yet [Merge]]

Irsay prefers stability. Can't be changing GM and coach every few years.

[Chuck Pagano will be made available to the media at 1:30 today.]

I understand that.    Hey,  I want the defense too.    I've been banging the drum for three years for defense.

 

But if the fan base is losing patience with all the success we've had,   then I'm flabbergasted....    What people view as struggling here and now,  other franchises would consider it great success....

 

Posters here talking about a discontented fan base.    People not showing up for games.     Maybe not renewing their tickets.

 

Fans here should think of themselves as lucky and fortunate.     It sure sounds like they don't.

 

 

This isn't Green Bay, Pittsburgh, or Cleveland. Fans arent loyal.This is a bandwagon town. After one lousy season in 11, fans bailed and we were facing blackouts. It's harsh but true. 

[10,000 tickets remain for the Wildcard game]

Ha luckily we are playing either Cincinnati or Pittsburgh or this game would end up being blacked out.  Going to be a ton of opposing fans regardless of who it is.  Nice work season ticket holder

 

 

 This isn't a great sports town. Fans show up depending on record. It's embarrassing but it is what it is.
