INDIANAPOLIS -- Despite reports that Colts owner Jim Irsay has decided to retain coach Chuck Pagano, don't expect much official word from the Indianapolis Colts about Pagano's status.
Since both Pagano and Ryan Grigson are under contract, there's no obligation for the team to make a statement.
NEWS: The #Colts' stance is simple. Both Pagano & Grigson are under contract so there's no need to comment. Chuck's the coach. Ryan's the GM

If you're itching for the latest on Pagano and Grigson, give owner Jim Irsay a follow on twitter.
Hearing from the team that it's only up to Irsay, if he'd like to comment on the #Colts' future. Even then, it might only be on Twitter.
