Pagano-Grigson Rift/Pagano to be coaching elsewhere next year [Mega-merge]

CBS' @JasonLaCanfora says that those closest to Chuck Pagano believe it is "inevitable" that he will be coaching elsewhere in 2016. #Colts

Interesting that we haven't even taken our first snap of the regular season & this comes to surface

[Derakynn]

This is getting ridiculous.

[BlueCollarColts]

Yeah not buying that

 

Would have probably just let him go this off-season if that were the case.

[Gavin]

We shall see, I would not be surprised quite honestly even with our success

[cjwhiskers]

Ridiculous. I was watching him talk about this on CBS. For some reason it really made me to want to punch him in the face. 

[SilentHill]

Can we get Arians back?

[trueblueblood]

This is insane. I really hope this isn't becoming a distraction for the team.

[NewEra]

Season has t even started and their starting with this crap?? Like to see him win the SB and tell them he's moving on

[TKnight24]

Can we get Arians back?

That's why I don't believe this. Who would we hire?

Then there's the risk that we gotta learn a whole new offense & defense

Too much smh

[MTC]

[pgt_rob]

Dumb.

[Briggs32]

Can we trade him for draft picks?

[indy1888]

Too much smoke for there not to be fire.  Although i would think if the Colts greatly improve there defense and happen to make or even win the superbowl, that Irsay would want Pagano back.  So if true, Chuck either has low confidence that the D will improve or that this is a superbowl team.  Otherwise there is no reason for this line of thinking to come up right now.

!!!

[dw49]

Who knows ? I'm sure Irsay noticed the team came up flat in more than 1 game last year. Also he probably didn't love how the Pats seem to just pound the same thing for 60 minutes and the Colts can't adjust. Not saying he should or will be replaced... just making observations.

[mattceinicram]

I don't like this at all

[Lawrence Owen]

Oh yeah..um..ok...

 

And we trade Luck for RGIII.....................

[peytonmanning18]

Having Pagano coach this season in the last year of a contract is incredibly stupid and makes Grigson look like a *.

[Ja'Crispy]

Can we at least kick off the first game before talking about this? Jeez Louise.

[COLTS449]

It would make a lot more sense for Grigson to be GM'ing somewhere else wouldn't it? If Pagano had more control over things we'd probably be in better shape right now. I'd say the O-Line would be taken care of for one.

[bababooey]

Saban 2016?

[Coltsman1788]

He has been a disappointment thus far as far as our defense is concerned.  So this wouldn't really sadden me.  He was brought in to build a Ravenesque defensive monster.  Yet it has maintained the same marshmellowy softness it has always had.   

[oldunclemark]

Do 'those closest to coach Chuck' actually know and why would they tell a reporter?

[ColtsUrUs]

They have no story this morning for a potential Superbowl team so they run with this mess. I hate the media with a passion some times.

[Qwiz]

Well that escalated quickly.

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow

[GoColts8818]

I'll wait until the post season to worry about this

This is a story, not the medias fault

It's all one guy and that guy is a hack.

[ColtsUrUs]

Says who? CBS sports. Like I said they have no good story to run on opening day so they run this old story. Plain and simple.

[ColtsUrUs]

They do this every year. The media can try to start something when it's not even there. I've seen it to many times.

[Narcosys]

That's why I don't believe this. Who would we hire?

Too much smh

The Chudz?

[Dark Superman]

If we lose today he can pack his bags today and walk.

[ColtsLegacy]

 

 

Leave me alone! It's the best day of the year and they drop this crap on us right before kickoff?

[Patagonia Chris]

Coaches having control over the roster never works out. We don't know if Pagano is anything better than a below average - average coach and you want to give him the keys to the franchise? Wow.

La Canfora: nearly impossible to imagine scenario in which Pagano & Grigson remain together. Irsay allowed issues to fester too far.

Also this from La Canfora: "perceived instability from Irsay would scare off some top candidates [for HC job], sources said."

Also, this is very interesting: La Canfora says that Pep Hamilton was Grigson's hire. Means Grigson has control over staff too. #Colts

His contract is up at the end of the season, so no.

[Fx Stryker]

Grigson is a horrible GM. Get rid of him.
