Not only Jack DelRio, but I forgot about Singletary too.

Bleedgreen: you forgot about Jack DelRio. Who also has really done squat.

Pagano is the perfect choice.

He’ll continue the Colt’s tradition …….. he already knows how to lose to the Patriots!

BWAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAA!!

Chuck who???

So they’re about to invest muti millions in a QB with the #1 overall pick and they’re giving him a defensive minded Head Coach to oversee his development?

Yeah, this is gonna work.

I hope Irsay gave him superbowl tickets. It’s as close as he’ll ever get to one as a HC.

How many guys now have Ray-Ray, TSizzle and Ozzie Newsome’s personel skills gotten gigs as head coaches? Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan, Rex Ryan, and now Chuck Pagano. None of them have done squat since either.

The events in Indianapolis remind me of the Colts final years in Baltimore, after Bert Jones’ initial injury in 1978. I am predicting 2-3 years before “Piss on Irsay” signs appear in the urinals at Lucas Oil Stadium.

I also guessed Pagano and tweeted it to Isray… I hope I get the tix. Who wants to go with me if I win?

Without Hall Of Fame Defensive Players, Pagano won’t have any more success than in the past. And why do the Irsay’s keep trying to screw Baltimore?

To the idiots who said they should have hired Tressel–Harbaugh is the exception to the rule that college coaches rarely cut it in the NFL. Please go back to following college sports with all of your “the college game is purer than the NFL” baloney (though that’s mostly said about basketball), leave commenting on the NFL to NFL fans.

He’s done really well as a defensive backs coach, and he had a good season as D-Coordinator in Baltimore, but if I were a Colts fan I’d be a little concerned.

My worries are totally based on PTSD from the Matt Millen era in Detroit! Rod Marinelli was supposedly a Tampa 2 guru and a defensive line genius. When he became the Lions head coach, the defense was incapable of stopping a middle school Pop Warner team from scoring 35 points. The defensive line was the worst I’ve seen in my years as a Lions fan.

Hopefully this works out for the Colts fans. Otherwise you guys always be talking PM (Peyton Manning), and APM (After Peyton Manning). ]

Jim Irsay is about to be as reviled in Indianapolis as his father is in Baltimore. He really is delusional enough to think that he – and not Bill Polian – is the reason this franchise has been incredibly successful over the last dozen years. This hiring is preposterous, and if I were Andrew Luck, I might try to start finding a way to “John Elway” myself right out of being drafted by the Colts. (Any chance Luck plays baseball?)

1. Thank you Jim Irsay for hiring a coach today, thereby validating my post on here yesterday saying that your Twitter contest deadline meant you would make an announcement today. Screw you, thumbs downers!!

2. Damn you Jim Irsay for not hiring Jim Tressel, not because I thought he would be a good coach, but because I now CANNOT win the the super bowl tickets.

Bad news for all NFL defensive coordinators who have been on the job for more than a year. Apparently, your window closes after year one.

Dammit, can Baltimore have him more than a year at least?

Wonder if he will last the 3-4 years it will take to rebuild.

Congratulations to the Texans

I wonder if he left Baltimore in a mayflower van?

Mike Nolan is coaching the Colts? Probably a good hire, but former Raven DCs do their best work in Baltimore from what I have seen (Nolan, Singletary).

Who was the Rooney Rule minority candidate that was interviewed?

it’s not enough that you steal our team. now you steal our DC.

Pagano is a well respected coach who is loved by his guys. It is a pity, from my perspective, but I think he will be successful.

Here is hoping that it takes 4 or 5 years to rebuild the team and Irsay gets the itch and changes things again.

Questionable decision + small market franchise = automatically moving to Los Angeles. LA Colts!!!!

…and yet another man earns a contract off of having coached the greatest LB in NFL history!

Truly, I think Pagano is awesome. Colts will struggle for a while anyway, but I’m sure he’ll find a way to help build them a strong D.

Also wondering how many guessed Pagano, im saying maybe a few thousand?

As a Ravens fan I was hoping to lose one of our coordinators … too bad I wanted it to be Cam Cameron
