Today's "Pagano Show" asked on Twitter, "Re: the game, any questions?"

There were a few... LOL... enjoy...

Pagano Show asks fans for questions; Twitter responds hilariously

The best one was the tweet asking him if he thinks the fake punt was a success because nobody died.

Have not checked the list, but this coach may be on the hottest seat

I cannot stop laughing over the driving instructor one. I just keep seeing Pagano cruising around on a roof.

 

[BradyFTW!]

That was pretty good.

Belichick might be a genius but there are so many stupid coaches you wonder how these people graduated high school. Heck, if you were to compare intellect, Belichick would be a human and the others would just be amoebas.

This was my favorite

I feel for the guy in this sense. Up to that point he'd coached a hell of a game. He knew he had to coach "outside the box" to win this game and had the stones to make all the big moves. He made the 4th and goal call and won. He made the onside kick call after the pick 6 and could have just as easily won that call. He did the best job all season of controlling Gronk. Created an innovative coverage scheme to force the Pats out of their crossing patterns. Plus started the game with Luck doing his best Tom Brady impersonation throwing short controlled patterns and moving the ball successfully down the field. Plus he got the big break that every upset has to have with that fluke pick 6. Fortunately our staff countered a lot of those moves and slowly fought back into a precarious lead.

It's a shame Paggano is going always to be remembered for this play just like Sanchez will be for the "buttfumble". Granted it wasn't well designed or taught, but it WAS only one bad play out of many good ones. I'm sure Pattricia/BB, McDaniel/Brady called a few they'd like to have back last night, only they obviously didn't turn out to be quite as impactful....at least not to the general public.

Paggano, like Luck, would be better off out of that cesspool of crack heads and egomaniacs. Now that he has his health, he should go be someone's DC in a good situation,

Great post, both well reasoned and compassionate, especially when everyone is piling onto the poor guy.

It was an ill-considered play (particularly against a disciplined team like the Patriots), probably Pagano hoped somebody on the Patriots would get confused and line up wrong or jump off-sides. The back-up receiver they had snapping said he was supposed to take a delay of game penalty if they lined up the way they did, but for some reason he snapped it anyway, perhaps he mis-heard something or some Pats player startled him by yelling "hut!". In my mind Pagano's biggest mistake might have been putting that back-up receiver in a position that he was so unfamiliar with. But, as you point out, he had coached a great game until then.

It is the world's worst kept secret that Grigson has been undermining him all year, I agree he will be better off as a DC in a less poisonous atmosphere now that his health has returned.
