The next issue that causes so much uproar is the constant meddling in Pagano’s personal decisions with the team. In an article on WTHR, there were four or five issues noted about Grigson’s meddling in team decisions. Two of these situations stood out to me, “According to sources, when Pagano wanted to discipline players – one of them being Billy Winn, who was late for some meetings – Grigson overruled him and would not let Pagano do what he wanted to do…” (Kravitz 2015) Secondly, “As reported previously elsewhere and confirmed by my sources, offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton was forced on Pagano. Hamilton was finally fired during the season and replaced by a Pagano confidante, Rob Chudzinski. "Pep was never answerable to Chuck," a source …show more content…
The next issue of whether Pagano would create a team that can run the ball and stop the run is all relative and contingent on the previous issue. Pagano can’t make a team better when he isn’t even able to make the calls that matter to the success. The final outside issue to delve into is should Pagano be the first to go. While yes he isn’t living up to potential he should be let go, there also the other side of that that is stated in the article on WTHR saying, “For the better part of four years, Chuck Pagano has tried to coach the Indianapolis Colts with one hand tied behind his back.” (Kravitz 2015) In that case, Pagano hasn’t actually had a real chance to coach this team the way he truly needs too to be …show more content…
In the article the claim is that because Pagano just simply said that they would wait too look at film to understand what happened in a game that he wasn’t accepting the faults of his team. In this argument from sign, the ARG conditions would tell us that this argument fails the grounds section because often times waiting to look at film is a positive answer that shows quality of a good coach. In other words it would call for an easy rebuttal of this argument. My claim to this point is that because Grigson had his hands in Pagano’s business he wasn’t able to punish players and coaches who went against the team thus keeping him for being accountable. The support for my claims comes from the article by Bob Kravitz mentioned earlier when he said this, ‘…when Pagano wanted to discipline players – one of them being Billy Winn, who was late for some meetings – Grigson overruled him and would not let Pagano do what he wanted to do.” (Kravitz 2015) Meaning that even if Pagano wanted too, he wasn’t able too. This means that the proposition in the case has no grounds because how can you fire Pagano for his shortcomings when in fact they aren’t his shortcomings, they are
