Hasn't Taylor said that he will be handling the offense? I assumed that he will not have a coordinator and that Pritchard's position would be eliminated, and with it away goes the Andrew Luck Director of Offense. . . .
Correct, Taylor doesn't plan to hire an offensive coordinator. I don't know whether that means the money reserved for that position can be plowed elsewhere on staff but I hope so.
For what it's worth, my thought on Pritchard is that he is a candidate not for an OC position but for whichever position between QB, WR, and RB that Osbourne and Agnew don't take, with QB being most likely and WR being next most likely. A clear demotion from Pritchard's prior role. To be clear, I am not predicting this will happen nor advocating for it to happen. But I'll consider him in play until it's confirmed he's not. Same goes for Turner and Alamar for their respective roles.
looks like more than one "named" title can he held by a person as Pritchard today is
Andrew Luck Director of Offense • Kevin M. Hogan Quarterbacks Coach
Right, but what happens if there's zero? Troy Taylor doesn't do offensive coordinators. He's the offensive coordinator. This is a matter of functionality and clarity in chains of command as much as anything. Even Kris Richardson, who Taylor was co-head coach with for years for Pete's sake, was not "offensive coordinator." IMHO we've already hired our top offensive assistant, Klayton Adams.
