On the #Colts: Chuck Pagano has told people he has doubts he returns to Indy next year. He bet on himself with his contract, must prove-it

“So often we talk about coaches on the hot seat, the reality is, Pagano put himself on the hot seat,” Rapoport said. “He declined a one-year contract extension from the Colts, choosing to bet on himself and hopefully cash in at the end of the year. But now they have started 0-2 and, as I said, there are some doubts from him that he will return.”
Rapoport reports that some within the Colts organization are already tired of hearing about the issues between Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson.
