The Colts are making a coaching staff change.
Indianapolis has “mutually agreed to part ways” with running backs coach David Walker, the team said Monday morning.
The 45-year-old Walker had been with Indianapolis since 2011. He previously was an assistant at Pittsburgh and Syracuse.
The Colts have finished no better than 20th in rushing in the last four seasons. Injuries have hampered the club’s ground game in each of the last two campaigns, with Vick Ballard and Ahmad Bradshaw each missing significant stints. The club’s 2013 trade for Trent Richardson has also failed to work out, with the former No. 3 overall pick falling out of the Colts’ rotation by season’s end.
The new running backs coach is likely to have a role in the Colts’ evaluation of their tailback needs. The club seems likely to add a featured back this offseason, given its problems generating much of a rushing attack.
