21/28, 250 yards, 2 TD's, no turnovers, no sacks. 

 

Awfully quiet in here tonight.

What are the chances of Peyton being our GM or Coach?

Slim to none

I hope attendance sucks next Sunday. Irsay deserves it.

Would you want Irsay as your boss a second time around?

[TheWatShot 15,566]

According to Pagano, next week's game is huge. Have to finish strong at 8-8. 

 

This guy needs to be selling used cars somewhere.

To be fair though, what do you expect him to say at this point. He probably still has some chance, even if that chance is very small, to be back next year.

Sadly I think he has a 99.9% chance to be back.

I am curious why you think that. I would estimate his return to be somewhere around 25% myself.

Because Irsay came out and said there would be no changes like two weeks ago.

Because Irsay is our owner.

Did you really think he sounded definitive? Pretty sure he said he said he was not planning on any changes but also did not rule it out.

Read this earlier and tend to agree. At the end of the year if he can find a better candidate there is a good chance they make a change.

I did think he sounded definitive. Very few top end coaches would jump at the mess of a roster. At best you could get Coughlin, but he is like 90. Or Rex Ryan. Other than that it is a coordinator taking over. I hope for your guy's sake you get another GM. Without that first you are tied to Grigson for another 3 years.

Agree, Grigson must be the first to go, then the new GM can have new hire input.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,651]

My "Brad Stevens" type pipe dream is Harbaugh. I think he would be what luck would need. Plus a GM to help get the right players.

I don't think he's leaving UM anytime soon, though.

I'm not sure Irsay and definitive can be used in the same sentence. Irsay was going to fire him a year ago and Pagano himself talked him out of it. He's not exactly a man of conviction. 

 

I put zero stock into what he said two weeks ago because of what I just mentioned, and because I've never heard an owner/manager/president say they planned on making changes after the season when their team still had a chance to make the playoffs.

His drafting has been horrid. Werner bust, Dorsett looks like a bust. I know he's a rookie but TJ Green is awful. D'Joun Smith never did anything here. Very few impact players in the middle-later rounds.

Most didn't/don't expect much from green for a few years.

They were already eliminated from contention when he said that weren't they?

I don't think so.  They were eliminated Saturday by not winning, but at the time Irsay said it, they still had a fighting chance to get in.  Hell, still had a chance to win the division, however long the odds were.
