Pagano Let Go

[VaAllDay757]

Yes thank you God

[Floydian]

Good Luck.

I'm looking forward to seeing what a new coach can bring to the team.

It feels like we have been on a slow decline since he got here.

You're welcome

I will say this, Pagano may not have been the answer for us as a coach, but he wouldn’t be immature enough to gloat over someone losing their job. 

[RockThatBlue]

Good guy but a bad head coach. Wish him well.

No... just no....

Damn, it's kinda sad actually to me. End of an era in a way and a lot of good times for the first 3 years with him and crazy memorable games. I really do like this man and wanted him to do well here. Hope the best for him in the future with his overall life/health and in football too. I know the players did like him......just well.......it doesn't always work out the way you hope. 

 

Now we move onto hopefully brighter times but it isn't always that easy. Hope the next coach will be able to get us back to winning ways and trips to the playoffs again.

Sounds like ballard already has his guy for the replacement

[Indy500]

 Will be an interesting few weeks

[Gigc]

Man, Ballard's cutthroat. I would have thought they would have at least let him enjoy winning the game. they could tell him tonight or tomorrow morning. everyone knows it was coming. 

[JColts72]

A year late for me.

[MB-ColtsFan]

I'm actually happy they let him go now.  It will give him a chance to say bye to everyone he wants to in person.

 

On to 2018 with coach, FA, and draft unkowns...

As long as it isn't Tom Cable it's all good.

It's not like Chuck lost his job at the steel mill.  The guy is walking away with millions.  I doubt anyone from his childhood predicted Chuck Pagano,would be a multi millionaire.

Agreed. Let's not rub salt in the wound of a truly down to earth guy. His head coaching ability lacked but he is a great guy

Source?

Happy New Years everyone!  

 

I kinda wish they waited until tomorrow to let Pagano enjoy the night and the win but I guess it is what it is. The sooner the better maybe so it don't linger on. Pagano probably already knew anyway.

No way Ballard has the next HC signed yet....

I think you're right.... Paganos tone changed about that time 

[coach kline]

Heck of a nice man but it's time for a change. But stay away from Gruden

My statement still stands. It shouldn’t matter their financial situation. He was a class act. Something members of this forum could learn from.

I want him too. Luck would just kill it in that system, IMO.

It wasn't the Steel Mill, it was chopping wood for fire places around the world he lost.

Let's just say I'm happy I'm not Irsay or Ballard right about now. With so many teams looking for new HCs and Lucks situation, the pressure is gonna be intense.

[The Fish]

A couple of thoughts. 

Like it or not, he's not the worst coach. There's a chance we don't get a dramatic upgrade. Hopefully we do.

He's a good guy and that bought him the leverage he had, but there was a continuation of problems this team had that he couldn't or wouldn't handle. Having a team that looked prepared, able to adapt and game management simply weren't very good, often enough.

I think he get's another job if he want's one though. This was as much a relationship that ran it's course as it was an indictment on his ability to win. With a healthy team, they would have been better and there's a real chance he would have hung on.

 

Onward and upward. The Pagano/Grigson sitcom is now over.

Except for that whole not cooperating with the NCAA thing.

This is actually a favor to Chuck to free him up so that he would be available for another job, like the DC for some other rebuilding team.

Awesome.  So I'm aloud to tell him to gtho of the building again...

6 million reasons not to feel bad about Chuck
