[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......

    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
