Former Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano joined the RapSheet and Friends podcast for its 17th episode, which published on Tuesday, and again expressed his desire to jump back into coaching.

Pagano has been able to get his "football fix" a couple days each week as a consultant for the NFL. He's worked with officials to help them understand how a coach views the penalties they called during a game. But a year appears to be enough for him to recuperate from the grind of more than three decades of coaching in the collegiate and professional ranks.

"Knowing what I know now, having a chance to sit back and reflect and evaluate a lot of things that we did both good and bad, now you have an opportunity to hopefully — if you have another opportunity, whether it’s a head coach, a coordinator or assistant coach, it doesn’t matter I just love coaching," Pagano told NFL Network and NFL.com national insider Ian Rapoport. "I love competing. I love the players. I love the coaches. I love the camaraderie, the competition, game day, that’s what you really miss.

"Whatever capacity I get into, I’ll be able to — if I go as an assistant somewhere — I’ll be able to share some of our experiences that we’ve had, and obviously the stuff that I’ve learned this season."

Pagano said he understands where the game is going because he's been able to watch all 32 teams each week and has a much better grasp of the rules because of his work with officials.

If he doesn't land a job, though, he won't dwell on it.

"I’m good," Pagano said. "I’m blessed. I’m better for my six years in Indy. Again, like I said, I have no regrets. Again, whatever happens, happens.”

Pagano would add he's been rooting for the Colts this season.

"If they get into the playoffs it’s a scary team."
