The name Pagano is currently one of the most well-known in the coaching profession. Chuck Pagano is the head coach for Indianapolis Colts and John Pagano is the defensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers.
But long before the brothers Pagano began patrolling NFL sidelines their father Sam built a legacy as one of the all-time great high school coaches in the state of Colorado. He guided Fairview high from 1969-1989 and won three state championships along the way before heading to Europe to coach semi-professional football in the mid-nineties. He finally hung up his whistle for good in 2002 and now he spends his time observing his family members on the gridiron.
