for the past several weeks i have been hearing things were not going
smoothly with the coaching transition in indy..
oh yeah
peyton not happy (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Peyton-Manning-isn-t-happy-with-Colts-management?urn=nfl,165952)
Offensive coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd left the team last month in what was described as a decision based on a change to the NFL's pension plan. This sounds like a very reasonable explanation (the two men, aged 70 and 67, respectively, were able to get a lump-sum payout of $1 million as a result). Considering the circumstances, it also sounds like a convenient excuse.
With new coach Jim Caldwell trying to mold the offense into his own image, it's not too much of a stretch to think that Moore and Mudd were either nudged out or left after sensing that Caldwell's new direction might not jibe with their own ideas
Confused? So is Peyton Manning:
"I can't tell you what's going on. I will say I don't think it's been the most properly communicated scenario around here.
It's not a situation that I'm just thrilled about. I think the communication has been pretty poor in my opinion. Somebody says one thing, then somebody else says another thing.
I'm not sure everybody's on the same page in this building. I'm just trying to focus on playing quarterback well."
