Andrew Luck saddened by firing of Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton

Denver Native (Carol) · 11-04-2015, 10:40 PM

The mood was somber, a lot like the day after a devastating playoff loss or a season-ending injury. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck took the news as hard as anyone.

Tuesday afternoon, Colts coach Chuck Pagano fired offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton days after the team fell short in overtime on a comeback effort against Carolina. The message: this isn't good enough.

Hamilton was Luck's guy. He was his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Stanford for two seasons before joining Luck in Indianapolis during his second season.

"It was jarring, tough, and not fun," Luck said about Hamilton's firing

Wreaks of desperation.

I hate to see major coaching changes right before my team comes to town because it does one of two things - make the team come together and play their best or hang their heads like whipped dogs and play their worst. Players suddenly realize they could get the next ticket out of town and often rise to the occasion. I don't want that. I want the Colts playing the way they have been of late.

Do you realize if Denver wins this Sunday, then 3-5 Houston takes over first in the AFC Suck division? That's disgusting. I expect the refs will try to keep Luck in the game where he can pull it out at the end.
