A presser today, but Colts GM Chris Ballard intends to keep HC Chuck Pagano for 2017, then re-evaluate for 2018, per league sources.

I mean, maybe since he's new, he doesn't feel like his first order of business should be firing the head coach, regardless of how terrible he may be?[/QUOTE]

Then we hired the wrong guy. I thought the only chance Pagano had to save his job would be promoting Jimmy Raye. Wrong.

I don't see what's left to evaluate. It's going on year 6, we pretty much know what we have in Pagano. Irsay must really think Grigson was the main problem.

Irsay thinking that Grigson was the main problem is the only thing that makes sense. He's wrong of course, but he hasn't figured that out yet.

If he doesn't have enough evidence by now, what will convince him?

Another wasted year of Lucks career!!

From all the reports, Ballard wanted Pagano gone. That then begs the question "So what did Irsay tell Ballard to make him accept Pagano for at least a year?"

He may have told him something like "Look, I know you want Pagano gone, but I have too much money to pay him this year on his contract even if I fire him, plus paying the new coach. I would prefer a year to see what he can do with you."

Irsay should just take the hit and let Ballard bring in who he wants at HC, but he isn't. I was hoping Polian would advise him to fire Pagano too. This sucks.

8-8 or worse next season and 3rd in AFC South. It's obvious to us but who knows what goes on in Jim's head.
