Suggested replacement for Colts' Jim Bob Cooter would be terrible decision
Indianapolis Colts' Jim Bob Cooter smiles | Michael Hickey/GettyImagesJim Bob Cooter likely needs to leave the Indianapolis Colts to get out of the shadow of head coach Shane Steichen. Not that Steichen is a bad person or difficult to work with, because he isn't. But he also makes the offensive play calls, and the offensive coordinator doesn't.
That means any team thinking about hiring Indy OC Jim Bobo Cooter is taking a bit of a leap of faith. Cooter may be a fantastic offensive coordinator and an amazing play-caller, but teams can only guess at the second part. At least, he has partly learned under Steichen, who has a well-respected offensive approach.
