Colts Coordinators
 
The Chargers, Bears, and Steelers all have lost coordinators this offseason. Not to mention the coordinators the Pats have lost. Why is it that with the success the Colts have had in recent years that the coordinators don't leave?

Tom Moore has been there for ten years as the offensive coordinator and Ron Meeks has been there for six years as the defensive coordinator. I can understand Meeks not getting any offers, but why not Moore? Are these guys turning down offers or have they simply not been contacted? Or is it that they go into interviews but don't get hired?

What's the story?

Usually when a team has success, the coordinators are hired up as head coaches seemingly regardless. Let's email Al Davis to interview Tom Moore.

I'm not sure Moore gets the credit he's deserved over the last few years. Possibly due to the fact that Manning is seen almost as an OC himself and gets a lot of the credit based on this. Didn't he wear the headgear one year against Seattle when Sorgi was in the game instead of him? I think it was 2 years ago.

I'd be interested on a Colts fan's thoughts on this subject though.

I can see why their DC hasn't been targetted much though. Defensively they played well last year in the playoffs against KC and the Ravens(not the strongest offensive teams in the NFL) but they gave up 31 points to the Pats and their regular season record was terrible.

Apparently Moore is just not interested. He likes where he is and has been a Coach for 30 years. If he wanted a HC job, he would have tried years ago.

I've heard that from the TV announcers.

I think that Moore is very much appreciated in Indianapolis and from those in the know. He undoubtedly makes what most of us would think of as an enormous amount of money and he's settled and stable with a good relationship to those he works with.

Makes sense to me.

It's in Manning contract, that none of his coordinators or wide receivers can leave until his career has ended.

Tom Moore has said several times he is too old to be a head coachand has no interest in taking over a new team. He is quite happy with being where he is.
I can't blame him...he has one of the easiest OC jobs in the league.

Exactly what I was going to point out. He's too old (in his sixties) and has a pre-programmed robot at quarterback. All he has to do is flick the switch to "on" then sit back and watch it happen.

Good for him. Not everyone needs more money and lusts for the limelight. Dante comes to mind as well.
