OT: Colts are firing Pagano (old thread)

[TBR]

"barring playoff berth"

 

[dales804]

Damn.

 

[fair catch fryar]

The next firing they need to be doing is putting Irsay and Grigson in front of a firing squad.

 

[Clonamery]

As long as they keep Grigson.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Please. No!

 

[meatface]

why wouldnt you just say your firing him? When your retention of him rests on him winning a week 17 game to go 8-8 and needing to win a bunch of tie breakers how confident can you be in the guy?

 

[fnordcircle]

Pagano isn't their problem, Grigson is. So this is great news.

 

[VrabelJr]

In typical Colts failure fashion, the Colts will make the playoffs and be stuck with Pagano. I love life!

 

[Hammer of Thor]

As long as they keep Grigson.

Maybe with the projected higher draft pick in 2016, they can use it to get the top flight wide receiver they desperately need....

 

[BradyFTW!]

Haha, adios loser. Best part is firing him won't fix any of the Colts' problems.

When the next coach can't fix things, I guess that'll make it Grigson's time to go, but I hope Indy holds onto him forever.

 

[dales804]

And I'll put this here. Great coaching!

 

[Ivan]

Wow. The guy is poised to win it all and they fire him. I would bet he bogarted Irsay's crack pipe and that was the last straw, which isn't a pun because Irsay uses rolled up 100's when he's snorting.

 

[Deus Irae]

Pagano > Grigson

Irsay = Drug addled fool

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Man i was so wrong on Andre Johnson. I thought he had something left. Anyone know their cap space for this year? Any Unrestricted free agents?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Pagano isn't their problem, Grigson is. So this is great news.

 

[Ivan]

And I'll put this here. Great coaching!

The best part was the Colts announcers telling their audience that they had the Patriots confused only to realize moments later that the Patriots weren't the ones confused. I'm sure that had WEEI continued the feed they would have then called the Patriots out for cheating by lining up in the right formation to stuff the play.

The only problem with that play, ultimately, was putting the ball in the hands of a guy who didn't know what to do. If Whaley isn't in that and the guy who practiced it is the ball doesn't get hiked.

It was the coach's fault, without a doubt, but he isn't the first HC to have called a play without all players in the personnel group having practiced it enough.

 

[Clonamery]

Willing to bet that Pagano's New Year's Eve celebration will be deflated tonight.

 

[Ivan]

Chip Kelly is available.

 

[Kontradiction]

Doesn't matter. They'll still have Grigson and Irsay.
