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.

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

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.

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.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By DougDew · Posted

      Its also about further aggravating a soft tissue injury that could hurt his chance to practice during the week.  Another consideration a HC might think about.

      I think AR should be the starting QB, so this isn't a AR vs Flacco thing.  But, the oline played remarkably different 1Q than it did the rest of the game...(not seeing grades by quarter).  If you tell me that AR was responsible for that, I'll call foul.  I think Pitt adjusted.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By coltsblue1844 · Posted

      Richardson practiced the whole week as the starter...Joe came in cold and without a gameplan geared towards himself.  Pittman/Downs and even our TEs had better games, because Joe can process everything SO much faster than Richardson.   Do I think Flacco is the long term answer? Obviously not, especially with his age... Do I think we would win more games THIS year with him, yes, I actually do.   Also, I see SO many people saying that Richardson HAS to play to get better... yet Steve Young, Aaron Rogers and many others got better by sitting behind a veteran and learning the game...   Yes, reps will help...but throwing him in before he is ready just because "he has to play to get better!!!!" can also crush his confidence, leave him second guessing every decision and ultimately making him worse than had he sat behind a vet for a while.   Not every QB is Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, and ready to start from day 1, and that's perfectly fine!   Many very talented QBs have failed in the NFL simply because they were rushed into a situation they werent ready for.
