Chuck Pagano entered the season on the hot seat, and then the Colts to a 3-5 start. The offense is 20th in points scored and next to last in turnovers, and when the DVOA ratings come out later today, the Colts will be 21st in total offense, 22nd passing and 18th rushing. This despite the offseason attempts to surround Andrew Luck with as many weapons as possible.
And so Pagano found a scapegoat, and today offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton was fired. Hamilton has been Luck's offensive coordinator since the quarterback was a senior in college. Taking Hamilton's place will be former associate head coach Rob Chudzinski.
