Colts new offensive line coach Chris Strausser Indianapolis Star
The call came out of nowhere, and it came from a man Chris Strausser had never talked to in his life. Frank Reich was on the line, looking for a new offensive line coach. Strausser figured he’d be honest with him.
“I’m not gonna lobby for this job,” he told Reich. “I’m not gonna have 20 guys call you (on my behalf).”
Reich was good with that. The Indianapolis Colts’ head coach had waited just 72 hours after the team’s playoff exit to fire the o-line coach he’d inherited last February, Dave DeGuglielmo, following a season in which DeGuglielmo dramatically reshaped what had long been one of the league’s worst units.
