INDIANAPOLIS -- One by one, coaches and players Andrew Luck has known and been close to for years have departed.
It started with offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, who was also Luck's coordinator at Stanford, being fired at the midpoint last season. Then went Clyde Christensen, Luck's longtime quarterbacks coach. Receiver Griff Whalen, whom Luck roomed with at Stanford, wasn't brought back.
But the departures weren't over.
Veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and tight end Coby Fleener, another teammate of his going back to Stanford, are no longer on the Colts for different reasons.
