no need to not pull the bandaid off quickly

If the whole thing ended bitterly, then sure fire the guy right away. But judging by the way Irsay gave him the gameball at the end of the game, and what he said in the press release, I think it would have been better form to let Pagano have his one last day and then do what had to be done first thing Monday morning. If I were an owner I would reserve Sunday firings for guys who pissed me off and I want to run out of town.

No, I would not. Big mistake

Do it as early as possible, start calling guys you want to interview and start the process of finding a new coach as soon as possible before 7 or 8 other teams fire guys and start inrerviews too

Irsay certainly has his faults as owner, we all know that, but this is not one I am criticizing him for. Pagano was lucky to make it through the season. I would have walked up to him as he was leaving the field and fired him

The post game and the locker room stuff was thank Pagano for his past service and saying goodbye, nothing more.

So glad Pagano is gone, good human being, but held back Luck and the Colts franchise as HC. Hope has been restored, and can actually look forward to next season.

The Baltimore Sun reports the Ravens would like ex-Colts coach Chuck Pagano to replace the retiring Dean Pees as defensive coordinator.

The Ravens' DBs coach from 2008-10, Pagano spent one year as coordinator before being hired by the Colts. Pees was the coordinator for the entire intervening six years. Pagano's Colts defenses weren't much to call home about, but personnel issues were an annual theme.

This makes sense. Peter principal. He was not nor will he ever be HC material, but as an assistant?

It's ok to be delusional. Just check in with Dammy and get some of what he's taking for that.
