Long time Colts offensive line coach Howard Mudd has already retired once.
He plans to do it for good after one final season with the Colts.
“This is my last trip around the world or my last roundup, whatever that is,” Mudd told the Indianapolis Star.
Mudd originally retired in May because of concerns related to the league’s pension program, but ultimately returned after the situation was clarified. (We believed he was rehired as a “consultant” but his official title is senior offensive line coach.)
Mudd’s reason to retire this time is more personal and one that even this relatively newly married man can identify with. He promised his wife.
“I told her,” Mudd said. “I framed her face (in his hands) and said, ‘Shirley, this is it.”
Mudd, 67, has been in the league 36 years. His buddy, offensive coordinator Tom Moore, has “only” been in the league for 33.
Despite Moore’s age – 70 – he has no plans to collect that pension anytime soon.
“I’ll coach as long as someone will hire me,” said Moore.
Somewhere, Peyton Manning is smiling.
This just in…
Crookedsteve loves MOORE of Dustin Chandlers MUDD (hole).
Colts usually spank the eagles I have no problems with Indy.
UH OH, you know what that means, the Offense is gonna tank cause they know their coach isn’t returning the next season.
OH NO?
Oh, that’s what they said when Monte Kiffin announced that he wouldn’t be back…
apparently the news made Derrick Brooks old and slow, Ronde Barber, so upset, forgot how to tackle, and the D as a whole, gave up

“I told her,” Mudd said. “I framed her face (in his hands) and said, ‘Shirley, this is it.”
She responded, “I hope so…and don’t call me Shirley”.
“Somewhere, Peyton Manning is smiling.”
That is true, but it has nothing to do with Mudd or Moore, and has everything to do with gay porn being so easy to find on the net….
Eagles New D-Coordinator is losing faith from players. They say he is a wanna be tough guy.
hahaha rapistburger thats clownin
If Mudd does return, is he going to be titled “Lord Mudd” by PFT? What sort of ceremony is attached to this title if he does?
they will call him professor emeritus
Whoever takes Mudd’s place will have some big shoes to fill.
