You can skew stats to make whatever argument you want.

What specifically was skewed? There isn't even any serious opinion there. Just facts.

2012 Wildcard - Got whooped by the Ravens 24-9

 

2013 AFCS Champ - Had to make a miracle comeback against KC at home and won by 1....then got crushed by NE 43-22

 

2014 AFCS Champ - Good game against Cincinnati during wildcard but we usually hold our own against the Bengals. Beat Denver with a wounded Peyton during divisional then got crushed by NE 45-7.

 

Yes...our record improved each year but we never dominated the opposition and always seemed to back in to a situation. We seemed to do our best to loose but managed to squeak in. I don't think we got better under Pagano......Luck carried us but now the chickens have come home to roost.

You act as if stating this stat doesn't imply anything. Also, there are more factors to a win than just the coach, so it's not all that telling of a stat.

This changes everything.

His teams have won in the playoffs and that will help Pagano get another job.

I understand...using this logic because Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring he is better than Dan Marino?

Then put a contract out on his life? Nah, Pagano is only a bad coach, not a bad person.

Cherry-picked data.  John Fox has 2 playoff wins, but his team made a Super Bowl.  One reason he has 1 fewer win is because his team had a first round bye in 2013 and 2014.  I'm certainly not trying to argue that Fox is better than Pagano, but my point is the cherry-picked data doesn't provide a complete picture of Pagano's abilities as a head coach
