Chuck Pagano is not oblivious to his current circumstances.
He knows just how tenuous his job status is.

Besides, if we're being honest, how could he not know what is being said about him when some of the doubts about his future as coach of the Indianapolis Colts originated right down the hall, from his owner's corner office?
And how could he be unaware of his vulnerable position when it's been plastered in huge headlines and splashed across television screens?
