throwing BBZ Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We have a decent chance to lose the next 5 games.If Andrew doesn`t show improvement soon, at 2-7 or 3-6,It would be Chud time at that point.

Superman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ehh there is such a thing about impulsive speaking which is basically what Irsay has done in the past on Twitter. But others are correct his decision making when it comes to football matters are not impulsive. So really I don't think there is much reason to believe that Pagano will be fired mid-season. Irsay I think knows that is an impulsive thing to do so he will wait to the end of the season. Now unless Pagano pulls off something really impressive I think Irsay is planning on firing him at the end of the season. I disagree with that characterization of Irsay's tweets. Just because it was out of the ordinary for an NFL owner doesn't mean it was impulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amfootball Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Don't we still get to play those games to see who wins?Of course. I think with Florio and Kravitz they are looking at the schedule and projecting. It is annoying but that is what the media does. I also think with Miami firing Philibin it has everyone on edge a bit so these stories surface. But really I don't think it is as much about wins and losses as how the team plays and responds to Pagano. It was obvious in Miami that Philibin had lost the team. I think with Pagano it is more about his relationship with Grig than the team. But who really knows. So much speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtRider Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Florio is an *, and Kravitz is a pot stirrer. If Irsay didn't fire Jim Caldwell during the 2011 season, there's no reason to expect him to fire Pagano. I'd also like to understand why Irsay is being described as "oft-impulsive."Could you please splatter this all over the forum? Thanks, MOS!

I think with Pagano it is more about his relationship with Grig than the team. But who really knows. So much speculation.You're right. It's their job to speculate. But, they tend to stretch things quite a bit. And, they don't take relationships into consideration. The players respond to Pagano and that is a big part of the battle. And, you're right....it's all speculation. Next few games will be tough and might reveal more. With so much print being dedicated to the battles between Pagano and Griggs, it might be exaggerated. But, there's got to be some truth to it. They really need to put differences behind them and focus on winning another game. Time will tell.....

Horse Shoe Heaven Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Honestly I think Pags is good. Our team has not found there stride yet. The defense is playing OK would like to see a little more pressure with the pass rush. The offence is IMO is mismanaged bye Pep!! Bad play calling.Not playing to players and personals strengths. If anyone should get fired it should be Pep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Mouth Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Florio is an *, and Kravitz is a pot stirrer. If Irsay didn't fire Jim Caldwell during the 2011 season, there's no reason to expect him to fire Pagano. I'd also like to understand why Irsay is being described as "oft-impulsive." Agreed that Irsay is not impulsive. But firing Caldwell in the middle of 2011 served absolutely no purpose. That roster was awful and it was clear the house was getting a thorough cleaning. I think that if Irsay was impassive we would hear more from him on the teams slow start. I think Irsay is already of the mind set that Pagano is on borrowed time. Otherwise he would have a new contract right now after three 11-win seasons. My feeling is the soft condition of the roster is exposing Grigson and he might find himself on the firing line too. Irsay has to pony up for Luck within the next year and he can't feel too good about the organization's ability to leverage his investment in Luck.

CanuckColt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Previously I wanted Coach Chuck fired BUT the more I hear about Tyrant Grigson and his minion Pep, the more I think the team would be better off with Chuck at HC and Chud calling the O, and Grigson with NO SAY on who Chuck chooses for his co-ordinators and staff and NO SAY on who plays and who sits.

TrueColt! Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It's Not midseason tho....it's early. Very early.u can never believe the 1st quarter of the season. That's in any sport. In football right now it's easy. Win ur division. Regardless of the coach, we will win the division. So....everybody should take a page outta Rodgers book and R-E-L-A-X. You think, we win 2 games out the next 4 and we are 4-4 at midseason. We will will the division. Just relax. Next year is where we need to be worried about staff and our other issues. We make the playoffs this year, and that's a successful season considering the hole we are in and a injured starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offered Pagano a one year extension so that he wouldn't be lame duck. He turned it down. He's already making league average money for a head coach. To me, the issue was that Pagano hasn't proven that he's "the guy" to take this team to the next level. He basically had two and a half years under his belt. This is supposed to be his "prove it" season, and it's not going well so far. It's still only been a month. I always felt that this would be a consequential year for both Grigson and Pagano, one way or the other. We'll see how it shapes up. As for Caldwell, if getting rid of him served no purpose, what purpose would firing Pagano serve? Most coaching changes are made at the end of the season, and it's hard to remember any midseason coaching change benefiting the team during that season or promoting success in the seasons that followed.

aaron11 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 fire him and risk tanking. i wouldn't even call it a risk at this point, because this team isn't winning anything except for maybe another AFC south. i dont even care about the draft picks or who the interim coach is, this team needs a staff that can game plan and light a fire under the players each and every week. Harbaugh looks like the perfect canidate. it's a long shot but he might leave Michigan to reunite with Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH8788 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I wouldn't be heartbroken. #Harbaugh2016Chances of him leaving Michigan are slim to none BUT let's say it does happen & we do get him. What makes you think he & Ryan won't clash as well. Based on the reports that Ryan gets involved in the lineups & doesn't even let Chuck pick his own coaches, what makes you think that would sit well with Harbaugh? Or even Saban if by a crazy turn of events we ended up landing him. Also as great a coach as Harbaugh is, the man can't stay at a place for more than 4-5 years. We need a coach who's gonna be here for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defjamz26 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, upsets never happen in the nfl or any other sport. Ever. Never everThe fact that the Colts beating the Patriots would be an upset should tell you a lot about the team. Plus, whenever a win would be dubbed an "upset" of a team it means that the probability of winning was low to begin with.In other words you just basically said the Colts will probably lose to the Patriots.

Indycrazy1287 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 In all honesty, Pagano isn't the one who deserves to be fired. That would be the man who built the offensive line and overstepped his boundaries on multiple occasions, Ryan Grigson.YES. Grigson has hit on some picks yeah, but overall it seems that he has more control over everything from coaching to drafting than Pagano....it's a shame that Pagano is kinda blamed for it though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwinnettColt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If Pagano goes, Grigson certainly needs to go as well. Irsay shouldn't allow Pagano to take the fall alone when Grigson made the draft, FA, and coordinator choices which put us where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
