Bruce Arians new Head Coach of Colts...

[tony hipchest]

...on an interim basis while Chuck Pagano Begins leukemia therapy.

best wishes and speedy recovery to him. I bet even Bruce never woulda wanted to gat a HC job this way.

I am completely stunned the man i thought would NEVER be a HC finally is. I cant wait to see this unfold and hope for everyones sake its not a trainwreck.

Hope for the best for Coach Pagano - health issues can come out of nowhere or, as my late minister used to say, life is what happens to you while you are making other plans

Meanwhile we have this story/valentine on acting HC Arians

Arians is expected to oversee an offense that leans on a power running game and passing attack that is diverse and tight-end heavy

I know it's going to be.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Coach Pagano, as well.

I guess we should have held on to him and fired Tomlin.

Sorry mods. I didn't see this in the NFL section. Go ahead and delete it or move it into that thread.

i certainly have no reason to hope arians falls flat on his face despite always believing he was never fit for a head coaching job.

i have to admit though, i cant wait for his press conferences. i bet even jim irsay will be like "dude, you just need to shut the **** up".

chuck pagano looks to be hospitalized 4-6 weeks, and probably be receiving treatment even after that.

this is arians gig now, probably for the better part of the rest of the season. regardles if he crashes and burns or proves all doubters wrong, i anticipate the results and wish him well. he's the colts problem, now.

not one to disappoint, bruce is the gift that keeps on giving (from the beat writers covering his presser)-

Mike Chappell‏@mchappell51
Arians: more interested in the colts than the packers. our 5-star players have to show up in big game.

Mike Chappell‏@mchappell51
Arians: just do what we do. don't get caught up with snot-bubbles and tears. they don't beat anything. brilliant

Phillip B Wilson‏@pwilson24
#Colts Arians on weekly preparation in #NFL: "If you don't get ready, you get beat."

Phillip B Wilson‏@pwilson24
#Colts Arians on Matthews: "I don't think you can overly concern yourself with (one) guy." even if he is 1 of the nfl's leading sack getters

Phillip B Wilson‏@pwilson24
#Colts Arians on his dual role, says some tasks being delegated. "It's just a matter of getting the head-sets figured out" to limit voices.

Phillip B Wilson‏@pwilson24
#Colts Arians doesn't want too many assistants doing more than usual. Trying to keep business as usual as possible without Pagano. God forbid he have some coaches (or a player contribute and step up) = control freak.

Phillip B Wilson‏@pwilson24
#Colts Arians says he probably would get out of coaching if he couldn't call plays. "That's all the fun," he said.









really bruce? THATS why you wouldnt let ben use more no huddle? because you wanted to have your "fun"?

so much explained right there.

Wow. Bruce is even more of a dumb-ass than I previously thought.
