I’ve been a Colts fan since 1971 and I don’t want him to go. The problems aren’t his fault.
Troof. Also, the money Jerry makes from JerryWorld dwarfs what he makes with the Cowboys. I cover the Baylor-Tech game there every year, and the odd bowl game. Amazes me the number of people buying $9 beer. $75 to park at a Cowboys game, $40 for college games, plus concerts all over the place.
Jones is a brilliant businessman, but he's like Little Bill in Unforgiven. He ain't no carpenter.
I think if you brought in a top tier coach, this current team would be in the championship game every year.
Except if DMC starts every game (coach’s fault) he IS the NFL rushing leader this year. And I watched two teams (Denver and Cincy) play the other night with backup QBs and were just fine. And Texans won with Dallas’s (fired) backup QB, and Ravens won with much less talent and backup QB. At some point, it’s not just missing Romo that’s the problem.
I don’t think theres help for that team as long as the current owner stays the owner.
Care to elaborate on why last years great team wasnt great this year? I mean, if the coach was the same, shouldnt the team been the same?
Cowboys, since Jimmy left, have gone top heavy on front line players and filled out with guys they picked up from the loading dock at Walmart. When they let Murray walk, then Romo and Bryant got injured, that was about 75% of their offense. They can't identify talent very well or coach up. Romo covered up a lot of the offensive deficiencies. He's right at the end of his career now, with way too many injuries to run around like he has in the past, and there's no one on the horizon to pick up the slack.
well I’m sure he knew a lot about the oil business. A lot more than football which he knows nothing about obviously. And maybe that’s how he got away with it there. Making his own decisions weren’t as dangerous
They might - but it's not going to work. Harbaugh is a great fit at Michigan - and at Michigan he doesn't have to put up with Irsay's crap.
difference is Woody changed; brought in a potentially good GM, admitted his mistake in letting Revis go and the Jets are one game away from 11 wins...
so who’s fault are they?? garbage drafting, ridiculous free agent signings....
Cowboys should go after RG3.
Don’t the Colts still have an outside chance to win the division and they are talking about firing the coach? Heck they played the AFC championship game in New England last year with a healthy Andrew Luck. Pagano does not deserve to be fired.
See Alex Spanos.
BTTT.
No good, cheating Dolts... karma’s a bitch
best thing that can happen to coach pagano is to become disassociated with irsay. he should have no trouble finding another nfl head coaching job.
That failed fake punt this season didn’t do him any favors.
