ESPN's Ben Solak recently set out to rank all 32 coaching staffs. Admittedly, as Solak detailed, there's a lot of guesswork that comes with this exercise.

The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff was widely regarded as one of the more impressive groups in the league entering 2024. But that’s changed. Head coach Shane Steichen’s crew drops seven places, from 11th to 18th, in Ben Solak’s recent coaching staff rankings. He calls the group as a whole “just above average.”

A scrimmage under the night sky at Grand Park, a massive sports complex that is far enough outside of Westfield that the field can feel like high school stadium, the kind that rises shining out of the darkness in the middle of nowhere on Friday nights across the country.
