INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts announced they have dismissed offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo and confirmed assistant offensive line coach Bobby Johnson has been hired by the Buffalo Bills.
No reason was cited for the firing, but DeGuglielmo was one of three coaches initially hired by Josh McDaniels last January. Frank Reich retained DeGuglielmo after McDaniels changed his mind and returned to the Patriots, and NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo reported both that Reich wants to make his own hire and that the Colts head coach is recommending the 50-year-old elsewhere.
DeGuglielmo and Johnson helped a young, revamped line make a dramatic turnaround.
