April 09, 2015
Coach Chuck Pagano began as a graduate assistant at Southern California. From there he coached for Boise State, University of Nevada – Las Vegas, East Carolina, University of Miami, the Cleveland Browns, the Oakland Raiders, and the Baltimore Ravens. In 2012, he was named the Head Coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Three games into the season, Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia. Players and coaches tell stories of Pagano sitting in his hospital bed watching practice tapes and devising game strategies. Two months later, the cancer was in remission, and by the end of the season Pagano was back on his feet.
