Indianapolis Colts Fire Offensive Line Coach Dave DeGuglielmo
In what's being labeled a surprise move, the Colts let go of offensive line coach despite successful season

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — The Indianapolis Colts aren't wasting any time making changes to their coaching staff. According to nfl.com, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday the Colts are firing offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo after one season, according to a source. This comes just three days after the Colts lost in the AFC Divisional round against the Kansas City Chiefs, which was a playoff game most Indy fans wouldn't have guessed the team would've earned a spot in after a 1-5 season start.
Letting go of DeGuglielmo is also surprising if you recall this was the team's first season under head coach Frank Reich and other new coaching staff members.
But according to Garafolo, nfl.com reported DeGuglielmo was the only offensive coach hired before the Patriots' Josh McDaniels backed out of his Colts head coach role, and Reich - former Eagles offensive coordinator - wants to bring in his own guy for the spot, but will recommend DeGuglielmo to other teams.
