Do not be shocked-Coaches

[PrincetonTiger]

If the new coach keeps a few Colt Coaches

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Very very few. Most HC want their own guys. 

[PeterBowman]

keep the special teams coach for sure.

 

They've been very good this year. Kicking and coverage units have been a bright spot.

 

I remember the days when the special teams units cost the Colts games...now they've been a strength the past few years.

Why would that shock me? Whatever they decide is theirs to decide

[IndyD4U]

I really hope we keep the O-line coach 

 

Seriously though...We have to fire current coaches before we get new. Keep that in mind

The Colts RB coach was on multiple staffs in the 90s and 2000s

Yeah if we bring in someone new next year it wouldn't shock me at all if we had a whole new staff.

Only those that have already have the entire on a rail out of town

That rarely happens esp if a highly respected position coach is on the staff

It wouldn't shock me though, technically not saying every Coaching position but O Coord, D Coord, for example and I can see it.

It can be a doubled edge sword

Keep him, but tell him to cut out the trick plays.

Imo, a good HC ends up with a coaching tree.  A bad HC ends up part of someone elses tree.   I just made that up.

If he is a great HC he prunes a new tree because the old one has moved on to brighter and better jobs

McMahon has done a good job of building special teams, I'm cool with keeping him and definitely the only coordinator I keep.  I would say McMahon, Emmanuel, and Schottenheimer are all worth retaining.

How long did Ballard keep Jimmy Raye and company?

 Not the same

[IndyScribe]

It wouldn't surprise me if a couple position coaches are kept. There are some I want to keep.

That is usually the trend

[IinD]

I think most would be ok as long as the guy leading the ship isn't around anymore.

Two years ago we kept Chuck and fired everyone else.

 

Sure, that will solve everything.

Never said there wouldn’t be a change just that some of the assistants could be kept and what CB did when he arrived could be very different from when a new HC is hired

That's settled. The new coach won't keep anybody

In most cases the guys that stay(if any) are position coaches unless the OC/DC are a Bruce Arians or Dick LeBeau type

It's typical that a new head coach holds over members of the previous staff. Sometimes they even retain coordinators.

 

Chargers 2017, kept Whisenhunt as OC, along with several other assistants: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/chargers/sd-sp-chargers-coaches-20170213-story.html 

 

Rams 2017, kept Fassel as ST coordinator, along with other assistants: http://theramswire.usatoday.com/2017/06/28/los-angeles-rams-2017-coaching-staff-fast-facts/4/

 

Bills 2017, kept Crossman as ST coordinator: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/2/9/14558636/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-coaching-staff-finalized

 

Broncos 2017, kept 6 assistant coaches, including RB coach Studesville, who has been there since McDaniels was hired (that's four head coaches): http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/13/denver-broncos-coaching-staff-tracker/

 

In 2012, the Colts kept OC Clyde Christensen and RB coach David Walker.

 

It wouldn't be surprising to see some holdovers if the Colts hire a new head coach in 2018.
