Do the right thing Mr. Irsay!

[Thorgrim]

You know what it is. Just do it.

[Spike]

I really believe the players have quit on Pagano. They just look so disinterested. It's like they expect to lose every game now. If Irsay is too dumb to realize that, then he needs to let Ballard run the show and get the fuck out of the way.

[Dewey 5]

Irsay: Well, umm, umm if Andrew were playing we would be umm a much better team. It's umm really not Chuck's fault. He needs umm to just a have a fully healthy team. Umm you know.

[omahacolt]

Such a well coached team

Players just didn't execute

[1965southpaw]

Lol the players got that memo. Just saw the Facebook live interview.....poor Farley got the short stick and did the player interview. To 4 questions his response was.....we just didn't execute, we gotta execute better, we flat out didn't execute. Finally, some consistency!

[bertjones]

Before today I was of the school of thought that you let Pagano finish
out the season and then make the change. That's generally how stable
franchises do it. But today was a watershed moment. It's one thing
not to be able to make adjustments, to be unable to instill discipline,
to not understand the proper use of timeouts and challenges; but it is quite
another thing when you lose the team, when you cannot field a competitive
team. Pagano has to go now, with the full knowledge that the interim
coach wont fare much better record wise. There has to be accountability
and the stench of incompetence has to be at least ameliorated.
Does Irsay have the guts to do it? He's blown up the ship in '97 and
2011 so I'd say he does. He does seem to have some attachment to
Pagano though and that could be a factor.

[1965southpaw]

In a moment of extreme irony or perhaps significant foreshadowing one of the Colts reporters did the post game interview of the Colts "player of the game"....that's Farley in case you're trying to figure out who could earn such an honor......anyway this segment is sponsored by a bank and as the reporter closed out the interview he said "this segment is sponsored by Reagents Bank". And then he shared their logo......"it's time to expect more". Indeed. :cool:

[Indiana V2]

It's inevitable, the sooner it happens, the sooner we can have faith in the Colts organization again, the longer Pags stays the more dysfunctional we will become. I swear I said the same thing last year.

[FatDT]

Brisket is only going to get worse under Pagano.

To walk out onto the field? To listen to their shitty coaches?

[apballin]

Not gonna happen because it's not the right thing to do in season

it was the right thing to do a couple offseasons ago. now it is just the only thing to do

Hahaha. Tell us what you really think Doyle.


But he is right when he says that Clappy has assembled a coaching staff that is more incometiant than he is so there is no one to take over

He also said that Irsay wouldn't allow media near him after the game, but the fact no one else is reporting this leaves me skeptical.

Fire him now and name Philbin interim coach. Maybe...just maybe he can convince Chud to stop running verticals on every fucking route!

Step down and hand over control to his daughters? Sell the team?

I think the answer is quite obvious, if not just see my other posts.

PHILBIN???

Can't even coach the offense of line!!

[Gimmick]

Firing Pagano is easy and a fait accompli. Yes, he's a horrible awful head coach but the real problem is at the top.

[Indiana V2]

I know omaha and others hate Brad Wells, and we know he has no good sources for his info, but he is predicting Chuck gets fired tomorrow. Please, please, please, for once I hope he's right.

Well, a broken clock is right twice a day, and if a coach gets fired it is usually on a Monday, so really Wells is not risking much here.

Can't wait until Pittsburgh rolls in. "Rock bottom" can be drilled deeper. And they will drill us.

That's just what is scary... Colts haven't even received their worst beating yet.

[FatDT]

That's just what is scary... Colts haven't even received their worst beating yet.

No one's put up 50+ on us yet. But getting shut out at home by the Jags is a new low, even if they "only" put up 27 points. Second worse loss to them in history, after the 375 game.

Very true..... I can see 49-0 happen to this team and coaching staff

[Coltsalr]

And so it didn't happen:

Zak Keefer‏ @zkeefer 3m3 minutes ago
Normal Monday availability over at #Colts headquarters.

Chuck Pagano will address reporters at 4:30 pm.

[Coltsalr]

Bob Kravitz‏ @bkravitz 22s22 seconds ago
I was told late last night that there were no plans to fire Chuck Pagano today, but was warned that circumstances might change come Monday. So basically, at this point, we don't know for sure.

[Colt Classic]

...so probably not but you never know...thanks local media, always on top of things.

[Gimmick]

Bob Kravitz's source at the Colts is Jim Irsay himself. So Jimmy probably told him no but if he smoked a lot last night and woke up high you never know.

[HoosierinFL]

PHILBIN???

Can't even coach the offense of line!!

we have no one who can take over as an esp competent interim HC, but the hope is not as overtly bad as Pagano. Philbin at least is more business like and not a "players coach"

[Brylok]

It's 10:27 local time and Pagano is still employed. Pick Cincinnati this week.

[Brylok]

Dan Dakich is spitting fire today. 1070 The Fan stream (online, iheart or tunein radio).

[ChoppedWood]

Dan Dakich is spitting fire today. 1070 The Fan stream (online, iheart or tunein radio).

I heard him state that this is the most incompetent head coach of all time leading the most incompetent collection of assistants in the history of coaching.

I fully stand behind that statement!

I've been listening and while I agree with most of his rant it's been a tough listen.....he screamed for the first 23 minutes of the show....I had listened to Grady and Big Joe before him and I had to turn the volume down significantly cause he was hurting my ears. The payoff for me was he played Duke Tomatoes Lord Help our Colts....I had forgotten what a great tune it was....everybody please, get down on your knees, Lord help our Colts! Do it!

[GoBigBlue88]

I don't listen to 1070, but I'd be curious to hear what Big Joe has to say. You know the train is off the tracks and barreling toward a populated area when Big Joe bails on anyone on the Colts.

[1965southpaw]

Big Joe is always measured and balanced but make no mistakes he's pretty disgusted with this bunch......players ANd coaches. It's also clear that he is still regularly in that locker room from the things he says. Some quick thoughts from what I remember over the last few weeks can be bundled in a few categories:

1.leadership.......he talks a lot about the leadership void among the talent. Some of that is based on 50percent of the roster being turned over and not having many vets. Among the defense he says Butler is the most vocal natural leader but he's lost his starting position. He's is extremely impressed with the respect that Jacoby has commanded in the locker room on both sides of the ball. He really thinks he will develop into something nice.
2. Fundamentals......no surprise it bugs the shit out of him that basic tackling is a perpetual issue with the Pagano era....he puts that on players and coaches
3.preparation/discipline....this is where his primary critique of Pags and his coaches are....nothing that we haven't discussed and frankly I don't want to rehash. :confused:

He believes that when andrew is ready he needs to play even if there is nothing left to play for.....He agrees it's time for Pagano to go......it pisses him off that Ty and Moncrief were clowning it up and giggling like little girls in the locker room yesterday after that embarrassment when their teammates were more visibly upset with the loss.....again that leadership thing. :cool: Every Tuesday he has AC on his show and he asks him what happened but he's not a dick about it. The interesting thing is last week Castanzo admitted that neither the players or the coaches had ready answers for why they keptt imploding in the second halves. I will be listening tomorrow and I'm sure there will be some interesting nuggets I'm happy to share if you are interested.

Oh, meant to share he thinks it's ludicrous that Pagano keeps the vets in when you clearly have better talent that needs to get in and have the opportunity to develop......not gonna name all the names.....you know who they are.....we all know who they are

[Racehorse]

What is he saying now?

[1965southpaw]

Lol....I don't know who this guy is but I just followed your link and see he's been tweeting all day on Chuckles.....here's my favorite:

Jim Irsay is that guy who just can't let his girlfriend go, even after she's torched his house. Nine more games, Chuckles.

According to JMV, Kravit's feed is the one to watch cause he said his sources are in Irsay's office. He said earlier today that no decision has been made but it's still possible it could happen this week. I think that's like saying it may rain tomorrow. There's no real accountability to that statement.

[Gimmick]

Kravitz's source for years has been Jim Irsay himself.

[1965southpaw]

That's pretty much what JMV was implying without saying it outright. I've always thought that JMVs source were the daughters or someone close to them. Every time Kravitz is on JMVs show they have this circle jerk patting themselves on each other's back for their sources. It drives Dakitch crazy and he's always throwing shade their way saying.....I don't have any sources but here's what I know.....they all have such fragile egos....

Fuck if I know. He got somewhat known by starting the gruden/manning thing. Wells and one of the Indy talk show dudes were running with his nonsense. He has "broke" news from his sources a couple times and was wrong
