[Will Carroll] Ballard and Irsays have already compiled coaching short lists. No unexpected names. Unlikely to fire Pagano in-season

Anyone who can't see they've already been loyal to Pagano to the point of this teams demise..... is not someone I would want coaching this team.  No one in their right mind could question whether Pagano was given a fair chance.....

Really?  He was doomed when this season started. He was given a team that don't have enough talent to be competitive in the NFL.

Respectfully, I disagree. There is enough talent on the team to have numerous leads well into the second half of the games played this year. The coaches then take a conservative approach and give away the lead.

 

If anything, Pagano has been given plenty of opportunity to prove himself a good coach and he’s come up short.

They have lost three of their games due to turnovers by the QB and a fumble by TY makes it the fourth.

And Chuck continues to make questionable moves during the game and rarely has his team prepared in the early part of the game.

There is some talent on the team, but DB's are young, Ilber's hum not so good, remember the OL is fixed Laughable, but no Luck injury hurts badly and Brissett is Ok but came in FAR TO LATE. GM should have brought a VET QB in to compete when Luck had surgery!!

What are the expected names?

That's the first thing I thought when I read it. What is an unexpected name? Is there some master list somewhere? Good grief these guys love to stir a 10 gallon pot with about an ounce of truth.

I think we can differentiate between the talent Pagano has been given to work with and the product on the field. (i.e. a back-up QB throwing a pick). I agree that the INTs have hurt the cause in these games, as has coaching, however, Brissett is more talented than the guy that Pagano supposedly wanted to go to battle with - Tolzien.

 

TY did fumble, however, you can't deny that he is talented. Most coaches would love to have T.Y. on their roster.

 

To say that Pagano was not given a fair shot at coaching due to lack of talent boils down to -- Luck is not playing. Otherwise the team has enough talent to win.

There was a hope that ST would fit in alright

Go ahead and pile it on. I'm a big boy, I can take it.  If anyone thinks a coaching change will automatically make more talent on this team feel free.

The results next season will make you wonder why Irsay didn't fire this clown sooner. You'll see.

In the same vein no coaching change will make the current roster a SB contender

We have a lack of talent no doubt.  But theres been just as many games lost due to lack of game adjustments and planning as well as coaching blunders.  Combined with that, we are 2-6.

Not the point of this discussion. I am not advocating for a new coach at the moment. I think it is almost a certainty that a coaching change will occur at the end of the season.

 

We are discussing whether Pagano has had a fair evaluation of his coaching abilities given the current roster. I think there is enough talent to make a fair evaluation, even without Luck.

I was referring to some of the other statements in the thread that said a coaching change is a miracle cure

 

I am nowhere near saying that a coaching change needs to be made but the current reflects more on management blunders not the coach

Bellick getts pass's on his mistakes because he wins with superior talent, lets see haw good Green Bay is without Rodgers playing. I GUARANTEE NOT GOOD. Is that because of coaching I think not maybe because of the QB, being out YUP

:realitycheck:  What's your excuse for last year......

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By Superman · Posted

      Yeah, that was one of his two drops last season.   He also had two contested catches and forced a pass interference in the end zone, in that same game.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By King Colt · Posted

      He said ,  "most were probably. So he is not saying all women want to get pregnant this is a nonissue but just another stupid thing for the crazies trying to dictate every single spoken word every second of every day.  "SHOCKING"??????

      Rewatched 2023 Season

      By Superman · Posted

      I think there's a significant difference between blaming him for the Houston loss, and saying that he missed the throw on the game deciding play. It wasn't entirely his fault we lost, but he certainly contributed to the loss. I don't think the 'one play away' stuff is meant in a negative way toward Minshew at all. I think it's meant as an acknowledgment that the team isn't totally awful, despite there being some question marks.   And I'm sure there are some people who are being more negative about Minshew and the way the season ended, but I don't think that's the common sentiment.   Regarding Pierce, I don't think a receiver like him can succeed with a QB like Minshew. You made a good point in the AD thread that Pierce's usage is also related to scheme, and it doesn't seem like Steichen has seen fit to adjust the scheme so Pierce can be used more. That's telling, and it needs to be acknowledged that Pierce has to play/practice better if he wants more opportunities. But it's also pretty obvious that Minshew struggles to throw the big routes that Pierce is asked to run (he reportedly ran more go/post routes than any other WR last year), not to mention the QBs we had in 2022.    It just seems like there's little debate about what Minshew is: He's a limited QB, and the offense will be capped by his limitations. He did a really good job filling in last year, and he deserves credit for being one of the best backup QBs in the league. He's still clearly a backup level QB. You'll get some nice moments, and some frustrating failures. Acknowledging that doesn't mean he's being blamed for the team not going further last season. That's not how I read it at all.
