This week, former NFL offensive lineman and SB Nation contributor Geoff Schwartz put out a list of four NFL teams that can turn their fortunes around quickly within this offseason. Among those four teams were the Indianapolis Colts.
Schwartz gave three main reasons why a team can make a quick turnaround between seasons:
- A major player, mostly a quarterback, coming back from injury
- Hiring a new offensive-minded head coach and adding pieces to an already talented roster that underachieved
- A complete rebuild with a new coaching staff (Schwartz admits this isn’t a quick turnaround, but it brings an upswing within two to three years)
Check, check, check.
