TAMPA — Clyde Christensen said he knew it was a possibility, but news of Andrew’s Luck’s retirement still shocked the former Colts quarterbacks coach.
"I stay in touch with him and kind of knew that he was contemplating it,'' said Christensen, now the Bucs’ quarterback coach. "But I learned like everybody. I was watching the Florida-Miami game and it came across the bottom. All of a sudden, I had 15 texts in 30 seconds.
"Like everyone, the reality of it was shocking. It was a blow. It knocked the wind out of me.’’
Bruce Arians, the interim head coach of the Colts in 2012 when Luck was a rookie quarterback and led them to a 11-5 record and playoff berth, still was having trouble believing it.
