Interesting. Maybe this shows Grigson isn't the control freak that we see and hear if Pagano made this call.

They've already been doing that.  They start with 0 points and finish right around there.

Lol I doubt it was his call it's obvious it wasn't because he brought in chud to be his back up "assistant" people don't have those

I like Chuck but last week Pep was doing an outstanding job according to him.

What else would you expect him to say?

[DougDew]

Interesting. Maybe this shows Grigson isn't the control freak that we see and hear if Pagano made this call.

This just in: 

 

Pagano, Grigson, and Irsay all agreed to hire Pep after Arians left.  Nobody forced him on any body. 

 

They all agreed to hire Chud when he became avaliable, since there were risks to hiring a college OC to run the O for a young franchise QB and Chud provided some mitigators to that risk.

 

They all observed the slow starts, struggles with good defenses, the lack of offensive production in the AFCCG, and all agreed that the O needed help.  They all agreed that Dorsett was the proper pick at #29.

 

They continued to see the O struggle, saw Luck beginning to get beat up, lose confidence, and a lack of adjustment from the O, so they all agreed on the proper course of action.

 

I hope the soap opera stuff begins to wane so we can focus on watching Chud run the O.

Good, sometimes something like this snaps you out of your funk. Had Luck played better maybe his "friend" is still employed with the team.

Hey! Where's the injury report on Luck on this thread? I thought the poor boy was suffering devastating injuries to his shoulder and ribs but no thing on him Gee, ain't that odd Colts fans? Duh.......

Agreed. There has been ZERO evidence substantiating that rumor. Zero.

Umm.....wth are you talking about. He's been on the injury report for his shoulder and even sat 2 games.

The rib rumors have never been proven to date.

[TheBlueAndWhite]

I want to see chud use the pistol offense, I think Luck would be fantastic in that kind of offense.

Not at all taking a shot at you, Def. But was there a time when he wasn't? A time that he didn't just rattle off irrelevant and repeated cliches? He's the worst interview in sports. Thinks he's clever to give no information at all but his methods are just embarrassing. If he doesn't want to answer a Q don't.

Most coaches are, they arent direct, they beat around the bush, they will not say things that can be misconstrued. I dont blame them a bit.

You're right. But it gets annoying when it's a critical time for the team and all he offers is the same dribble. OC just got fired and it's literally the same tone as all his other pressers.

Have you ever seen a Mike Tomlin pressed? Especially after a loss. He doesn't hit you with some "Guys played hard but we could've done better " response. He'll say that the loss was ugly and that they own it. In the game a few years ago when the Steelers lost to the Browns because they turned it over 5-6 times he said that he was actually surprised the game was as close as it was given the turnover problems. That's what I want from a coach for us. Not someone who is going to air dirty laundry, but someone who will call it how it is and not give us these lame duck press friendly answers.

i think Pagano has been open about the turnovers and lack of effort at times. He just may present it differently than a Tomlin does. I don't think I've ever come away after watching a Pagano Press conference thinking he was making excuses or not owning up to short comings.

 

He does like Cliche's tho, I'll give you that
