There\u2019s no question that he\u2019s accomplished a lot since he\u2019s been here,\u201d Colts owner Jim Irsay said while speaking at the Chuckstrong Tailgate Gala, via <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/indianapolis-colts\/post\/_\/id\/11796\/irsay-isnt-ruling-out-chuck-pagano-extension-before-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ESPN<\/a>. \u201cAnd, obviously, we&#8217;re here for this gala because he had that illness in 2012. Really, it\u2019s only been kind of two years almost that he\u2019s been coaching. He\u2019s done a very good job. Nothing rules out that we couldn\u2019t have an extension done before the season. If not, we can still, I\u2019m sure, probably work things out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Colts offered Pagano a one-year extension earlier this offseason which was rejected. Pagano joined the Colts back in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were some efforts to talk about it and we just didn\u2019t get there,\u201d Irsay said. \u201cSometimes that happens and people have different opinions these days. If you go back to the old days, there were no agents involved. &#8230; Again, we\u2019re real positive about Chuck Pagano and the things he\u2019s done and it\u2019s not a sign of anything extremely negative. We just haven\u2019t gotten anything done in terms of a long-term contract.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is in the final year of his contract with the team but that does not mean he will enter the season as a lame duck. \u201cI really feel positive about Chuck and what he\u2019s done for us.
