I think Pagano is done.

That's from last year 

[Yoshinator]

Sorry guys, erase that then. I saw it and didn't notice the date.

[BlueRedZone]

I'd treat this like anything else if I was Pagano. Ear muffs and blinders. Respect the process. 

[IinD]

Won't believe any of these rumors until we hear it straight from the horse's mouth so to say.

 

So much nonsense to sift through at this time of year. Just like last year how they were both DEFINITELY gone according to all the insiders.

 

These guys just make things up.

Yep, we won't have to wait long though, luckily.

I'm surprised theres not a thread on it already, but anyways on SNF Florio said hes heard its likely Grigson is fired but Pagano kept.

 

Anyone else see it and thoughts?

I'd see that as an encouraging development.  I'm sure the new GM will want to hire his own coach so it would make sense to let him fire Pagano if he so chooses.

If I had to choose only 1 to go it would. definitely be pagano. Pure speculation but it could mean rumors are true about manning and griggs is gone because irsay has a replacement he really wants. Pagano hangs on by a thread while they see who is available and if someone does become available t hat they want pags is gone.

We may actually have a realistic chance of bringing people that can do the job..... I'll believe it when I see it. We should find out soon.

Part of the reason I hope Pagano is fired is so people can stop complaining about his cliches.

I'd be really surprised if Irsay lets Grigson and/or Pagano go, even after all the rumors.

Pleasantly surprised though.

that's awful.  Pagano just keeps getting worse.  Irsay has no instinct at all, it's like his brain is numb and I just don't understand it. I think they should get all the Colts exec's in a room (except for grigs) and do a blind draw as to whether Pagano stays or goes, it's the only fair way to handle it.  He will be outnumbered.  Further, as far as picking the next head coach, consult every football God available and make it like the war-room in a draft setting.  Take this seriously, it's for the greater good.

[cmgww]

IF, and it's a big if, Manning comes on as GM.....I'd think Indy would become a VERY interesting place for potential head coaches to want to come. He is very highly respected throughout the league for his football IQ. I would think coaches would be lining up to work with him. Just my thought. 

[Corndog]

If Grigson is fired Pagano could be kept until the new GM finds another coach, similarly to how Jim Caldwell was treated.

 

That is what I am thinking, Grigson fired on Black Monday and next GM gets to pick his own coach, basically Pagano is fired too.

I could see him bringing in Jim Bob Cooter to work with Luck.

Yeah he's very insightful. I remember going into the 2015 season he started a thread  about being satisfied with our OL and he wasn't going to lose any sleep over it. And how good Thornton can be. I doubt Luck slept well that season though,due to the from all the hits he took.

Just goes to show we all human, even supaman lol

Of course he is, lol!  I also had ultra high expectations out of certain players.  We are all wrong, ALL THE TIME.  That's the sad part, even very cocky confident people are wrong all the time but yet their ego shatters their intelligence.  Everyone, is wrong all the time but that's just part of human nature.  Certain people do get it right more often though and Super is one of those posters.  As you said, Superman is only human hahahah.

this is from a year ago,before the extensions ...

[King Colt]

The players lie Pagano and that has to count for something. A loss today would have or at least should have been the dungeon for the GM and I was hoping it would end in a loss. It was a cheap win at best over a perennial loser. Something has to strike lighting in this organization and whatever it takes as long as it produces results I'll vote for it.

I doubt one game in it's entirety would decide the future of Pagano and Grigson. If it did, then that would be a very silly way to handle things by Irsay's part.

 

Most likely, the decision on Pags and Grigs remains the same, no matter what the outcome of today's game was.

Northern I would soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fire you if you were my GM/Coach after missing 2x straight post season appearances and losing against a lowly Jags team the last game of the season.

Note Florio cited no one. It was purely a speculative fluff piece.  Think about it ... After 2011 Irsay fired the Polians and left it up to Grigson to decide what to do with Caldwell.  No news here.

No way this changed Irsay's mind either way and if it did, it's time for him to step down.  If anything, it was Pagano's swan song with the Colts and the players wanted to win for him.

OL wasn't the issue in 2015, so I'm fine with my projection. Thornton couldn't stay healthy and never got good coaching, but I still think he had the talent and tools to be a good lineman. 

 

Oh well, I was wrong.

 

That's all very different from the Pagano-ism teasing. I get it, he sounds silly, but it's old. Time for some new material. Maybe a new coach will have an accent or something...

This. Irsay probably made his mind up weeks ago, if any game effected his decision, it was probably the second loss to Houston.

 

But who knows? Maybe Irsay for some reason still sees something in both of them and keeps them. After last years train wreck by the Indy media, I'm not believing anything until Irsay does a presser (probably tomorrow) and says it himself.

Agreed.

 

They sure do stick up for each other, btw. They've been complaining today about how Grigson won't do interviews with any of the beat guys. Sounds like how Kravitz and Chappell complained about Polian giving scoops to Chris Mortensen instead of local guys... 

 

Colts coverage is pretty bad, IMO.
