I'm in agreement that Pags should be fired. But I will give him the benefit of doubt, that just possibly he was coaching looking over his shoulder and was not in a good situation to show what he can do.

Let's let Ballard decide this, either soon, or after this coming season.

I'm excited to see what Ballard will do, but keeping Pagano makes no sense. I'd much rather Jim bring in Toub immediately. I didn't trust Chuck with a 4 year contract and I sure as hell don't trust him as a lame duck.

Pags looking over his shoulder had nothing to do with his lame game preparation, lack of time management skills, or some of his idiotic play calls. I would have fired his ass after that embarrassing punt formation against the Pats. No NFL coach should be allowed to be that damn stupid and still keep his job.

If Pagano is staying, that's on Irsay

Yep, definitely on Irsay. Need to put a real damn short leash on Pags though, don't need him single handedly costing the Colts victories.

A big part of my excitement with Ballard was getting rid of Pagano. You can't just waste a year with this bum. Just do the obvious right thing and fire Pagano. He's not the answer, he has no future here.

In hindsight, that play was the exact moment that the downward slide started. I knew it was perhaps the worst play in NFL history as I watched that game, but it's kind of amazing seeing all that's happened since that exact moment. Deep down, I bet that's when the players lost the faith.

I guess we all need to change our signatures to "Fire Ballard".

While I dont understand-agree with keeping Pagano / I will agree that Grigson was biggest problem. Colts are better already.

Hope TJGreen, Clark, Ridgeway make big yr 2 jumps and Dorsett gets it in yr 3 (Wayne was a late bloomer too), get Melvin Ingram via FA, get 2-3 difference-makers on D via draft (MLB), maybe OL, keep Walden and Doyle, maybe sign CB ...Colts can win AFCS next season.

With Luck at QB, we are not that far off

I hope that this keeping Pagano is all speculation, and that Ballard has other plans in mind.
