Colts fire defensive coorinator Larry coyer

[crash]

Jack Del Rio is not the only AFC South coach losing his job today. The Indianapolis Colts have announced that they fired defensive coordinator Larry Coyer.

In a statement released by the team, Colts head coach Jim Caldwell said, “The move was made to improve communication and production.”

“We feel this is the most effective and realistic way to move forward and win games this season,” Caldwell added. “We appreciate all of the effort and hard work Larry Coyer put forth in his three years with the Colts.”

Colts linebackers coach Mike Murphy has been assigned to the defensive coordinator position. Murphy is in his 14th season with the Colts.

It’s not at all surprising that heads would roll in Indianapolis, considering that the Colts are by far the worst team in the league. But the timing of the move is strange, as is the decision to single out Coyer when everyone in Indianapolis should be on the hottest of hot seats after this debacle of a season.

Coyer is the first to go, but it seems safe to say he’ll be far from the only one who loses his job with the Colts in the weeks ahead.

Caldwell next?

Can't believe Caldwell is getting a pass right now... I'm sorry but as GREAT as Peyton is/was, he wasn't playing around with scrubs on both O n D....

A losing record w/o Peyton? Absolutely, a 0-16 record? DARN right unbelievable....

Caldwell needs the can...

I think they need to clean house start with the Gm and head coach...I think they knew that Peyton wasn't going to be able to play this season why didn't they go after a qb in the draft? it was a smart move not to go after kyle Orton cause there is no chance of them going to the playoffs.

You have to point the biggest finger at the front office. These fools did NOTHING to shore up backup QB. NOTHING. They tried a done Kerry Collins when they finally realized somebody should be brought in. Curtis Painter as your backup??? Stupid.
