Read that as well. So I'm wondering was Pagano just so impressed with our offense against the Rats this past season that he wants him to run their offense??? Strange...

Poor Andrew Luck

This year's slogan: Suck for Luck.

Next year's slogan: Luck to Suck.

I think Bruce Arians will be good for Andrew Luck and vice versus. Remember, it's usually only frustrated, spoiled, Steelers fans who think Arians is a bad offensive coordiantor.

He's won a super bowl and taken an offense to another super bowl. Not a lot of offensive coordiantors in the NFL can say that.

While it may not make sense to some fans, Pagano was the DB coach for the Browns while Arians was the OC. Pagano knows what he is getting into. To top it all off, Arians was Manning's QB coach for three years, so there is familiarity there as well.

The second time the Ravens beat the Steelers, it wasn't because the offense failed...

Heck, I wouldn't put it all on the offense the first time...

Well, then the Colts should be ecstatic. If Arians truly was the catalyst behind the Steelers getting to two and winning one Super Bowl, then he will surely use his brilliance to coach Luck and the Colts to at least two SBs and a win.

It's also going to be interesting to see if the Steelers ever win another game without him.

Should be fun to see. In the words of Bart Scott....CAN'T WAIT!!

I must have missed the part where it was fans on message boards who FIRED him. I'm guessing (not really) there are at least 2 Rooney's who thought he was a bad O coordinator...
