INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts coach Chuck Pagano basically cleaned house with his coaching staff after getting his four-year contract extension two weeks ago. Gone are the running backs coach, tight ends coach, one of the offensive line coaches, safeties coach, linebackers coach, secondary coach and the defensive coordinator. Quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen left Indianapolis to become offensive coordinator with the Miami Dolphins.
And to replace some of those coaches, Pagano is surrounding himself with an experienced staff. It started with removing the interim title from offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s name. Then he added former Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin to lead the offensive line.
