I am glad this didn't turn out like the Browns when they gave up on Bellicheat. They haven't had a coach that lasted more than 3 seasons since then

This is what scared me the most about the rumors of our coach leaving. I couldn't help but think we would turn into the new Browns. Scary thought.

I don't think Chuck Pagano is a great coach, to be perfectly honest. Maybe I'm wrong. The Colts just don't really stand up to elite competition, and they have been winning in the worst division in football over Pagano's time.

And it seemed like Bruce Arians did more to establish that team while he took over in Luck's first season. I said it somewhere else that Pagano's identity is as a defensive coach, and he hasn't elevated that defense in any way that I can see. So what makes him great?

I always kind of felt like what he went through a couple years ago built a bond with ownership. And perhaps that did play into him being retained. It's admirable in a way, but regardless I rather doubt the 49ers situation had any influence. What the 49ers did was just stupid. It had nothing to do with football, and everything to do with egos. I don't see how any of this compares.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
