Legendary Colts offensive line coach Howard Mudd dead at 78
INDIANAPOLIS — For the second time in three months, the Colts have lost a legendary member of the franchise’s best coaching staff.
Former Colts offensive line coach Howard Mudd died Wednesday at age 78 due to injuries and complications suffered July 29 in a motorcycle accident in his home state of Washington. The Colts lost defensive line coach John Teerlinck at 69 on May 10.
"Rest in peace, Howard Mudd," Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted. "Howard was a GREAT player during a shortened career and then became one of the game's all-time greatest offensive line coaches. He contributed to many different teams over 47 years in our league---but he will always be a Colt. #LoveYouHoward"
