Pagano fired

[Gimmick]

I was the first one who started the Fire Pagano bandwagon a few years ago.
This day was long overdue.

However, I think they could have waited until Monday morning.

In most cases, I would agree with this.

However, I believe that this particular case has extenuating circumstances.

Considering how long that Colts fans were made to endure this clod of a head coach on the team's sidelines, I think that it would be much more unfair to make them wait an additional day to know that it was official ........ so, announcing it immediately after the conclusion of yesterday's game was the least that Irsay could do for his loyal fan base.

also it sure did seem like it was pretty much decided before the game and pagano knew it.

no need to not pull the bandaid off quickly

One silver lining of how damn long it took to fire Pagano. The next hire must know he will get a fair chance and then some to prove his worth

Not with me he wont. This team better be a double digit winner in 2018.

Another potential silver lining is the timing/fate of it all.

In the event that the Colts get Harbaugh (or another solid head coach) to come on board for 2018 and beyond, it is quite possible that the Colts would now have a coach who is better than Pagano (who isn't?), but not as good as Harbaugh and/or another good head coach if they had fired Pagano sooner than they did.

Somewhat similar to the Orioles' manager situation working out for them in the long run when Joe Girardi turned down their offer in 2007. Had Girardi come on board when the Orioles asked him to, they probably would never have wound up with Buck Showalter several years later.


I wanted Pagano fired sooner than he was, just as almost every Colts fan that hasn't been living on the moon wanted ........ but if the Colts wind up with a very good head coach (instead of just a pretty good head coach), then it will ease the pain of what we have had to endure with Pagano over the last 3 seasons.

You're welcome.

I don't care at all about soccer, but if somebody made a relevant analogy about a situation in that sport in regard/comparison to a situation with the Colts, I would appreciate it.
