Lets starts with having a game plan that doesnt involve overcoming large deficits to win a game. |

It has very little to do with wins and losses. Not sure why you don't get that

Easy: Stop with the slow starts and poor time management. And no more stupid punt plays.

IMO, I would want to see a couple of things in order to have my mind "eased" as to Pagano's ability as a Head Coach in the NFL. #1 = Winning record and winning the AFC South. This is very achievable with the roster we had in 2016 and I expect that the 2017 roster will be better. If this is not achieved, then the team has not achieved. #2 = Game starting game plans that are effective. So often, it feels like we have zero clue that the opposing team is going to do what they have been doing all season long! "What? The Titans are going to run the rock with 2 RBs? Who knew?!?" I don't feel like we attack weakness very often; we just "do what we do." #3 = Effective halftime adjustments. See Point #2 above but, again, we don't seem to attack identified weaknesses very well. "We do what we do." #4 = Having the team play DISCLIPLINED football. Throwing for 40 yards on a 3rd down and 1. Committing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on opposing team failed 3rd down plays. Offside penalties. Chronic drops on 3rd down pass plays. Any delay of game penalty. Just about any pass interference penalty. Catching the ball 7 yards downfield on 3rd down and 9. Ever getting caught with too many men on the field. Having to burn a timeout because someone is not on the field for a special teams play. Those are all the result of an undisciplined team. #5 = Pure Head Coaching decisions. Use of timeouts. Decision to go for it on 4th down. Decision to kick a FG or continue an offensive drive. Decision to play "prevent" defense. Decision to continue an attacking offense or go time eating "ball control." One point conversion or two point conversion? Those used effectively greatly enhance a team's chances of winning a game. Used poorly.... Those are the criteria that I would use when evaluating Pagano in 2017. While point #1 has quite a bit to do with player talent, NONE of the other points depend on that; they depend on a coaches ability to lead their team. Cheers, |

-Install effective game plans and get the team ready to play. This has been something Pags and staff have been incapable of for the past 4 years as ~75% of the time the team starts a game looking like they haven't stepped on a football field for a month and have no idea what to do against the opposition (who most of the time are doing what they've just been doing all year like Sherck points out). It wouldn't surprise me if he actually has the coaches and players literally out chopping wood during the week instead of watching film and practicing. -Large reduction in bone headed penalties and plays. From stupid penalties, to missed assignments, to trying to return punts from the 1 yard line, this type of crap has absolutely plagues us the past 2 years. This shows clearly a lack of discipline on the team. Need to tighten up that belt big time. -Improved game management. No more losing games when you take the lead with only 40 seconds remaining or losing a 2 TD lead with only 5 minutes to play to a team with Brock Osweiller as their QB b/c you're playing too soft and/or trying to run the clock out for the entire 4th quarter. -Improved play calling. Enough with the 7 step drops all of the time and other plays that are getting Luck killed out there, and for god fucking sake figure out what to do when the other team starts blitzing. -No more god awful fakes and trick plays. The next time this team tries anything anywhere near as stupid as the infamous fake punt then not only should Pags and anyone involved be fired, but they should also be flogged and then tarred and feathered while being sent out of town. -Quit playing down to the competition. When we play a bad team like the Jags or the Bears we should be either blowing them out or winning comfortable. Not falling behind and either falling short in a come back or barely squeaking out a win. If he and his staff are able to do the above then the record will take care of itself. Of course if they had done the above the past couple years then the record would have already taken care of itself and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
