Bullshit, if Pags is still here we are # 1 seed, very likely 16-0 (the league would have given us an extra win just because), and Pags is presently being interviewed by the Lombardi inscription folks for input on the depth of the etching...

Which would have probably been fine because if pags was coaching, we’d by vying for the number 1 pick in the draft.

He characterized Frank as passionate but not raising his voice and that he had the full attention of his team. After studying this team all season Kevin thinks that more than talent upgrads or innovative new schemes the most important change from last year to this is a coach that does more than talk about accountability.

Wow, tearing into Luck? That took some balls.

I’m sure Luck can handle it but still.....

Yeah....I find it curious that the story the Star is pushing (authored by Zac Keefer) and picked up and run by the national guys is all about Andrew's rousing and passionate call to action to his teammates and no mention of Franks message to Andrew. I suppose their version is a better / feel good story but I have come to trust Kevin Bowen's reporting as THE definitive voice. He doesn't seem to have as obvious of an agenda as the other guys go.

I agree, There is no way Pagano would have righted the ship at the half. He cannot coach their heard right, and that makes all the difference His tired old catch phrases do not resonate with players. That is why coaching matters, especially on game day. You build trust and confidence in practices and perfect it in games. Reich does not look lost, and the players do not feel as if all is lost.

Then we have the stupid decision to have Whalen at center in Cheatsville.

It could be that one happened in private and the other was not. It could also be that one reporter got the story skewed a bit, possibly mixing up names.

Well for one, no reporters are in any locker room at halftime. So whoever said Bowen was in the Colts' locker room at halftime is wrong.

Bowen might be wrong, then. Keefer could be wrong. I will go with what the players have said. And the coach. Players and Reich have all stated that LUCK game a passionate speech at halftime.
