He didn't and it eventually got him fired, as it should have.

When you're doing a repetitive motion in a sport, you typically develop a muscle memory for the motion, which allows you to not focus thought on that portion of things, freeing up thought for things like reading the defense and determining where and when to throw the ball. That's why practice matters so much. In order to fix a "pigeon-toeing" issue, a coaching staff has to completely rebuild the throwing motion with the QB so that the natural plant of the foot is in the direction of the throw. Bad programming currently exists and needs to be removed and replaced with good programming. I don't think the Colts should bother trying to fix the programming of Levis when they couldn't do it with Wentz and when there are two perfectly good options that don't require that fix in Stroud and Young.
