I don't know, I don't buy it. They guys seem to like Sparano, which is great.
But Chris Strausser wasn't just the O-Line coach for the '22 disaster. He was also there for '19, '20, and '21 when the Colts had one of the best O-Lines in the league (like they do again now).
'22 was just a freak fucking year top to bottom. Our vets had injuries and personal issues and young guys, who are now solid starters, were thrown to the wolves and took their inevitable lumps.
I'm not saying Sparano isn't an improvement, but I don't think '22 should be scapegoated to Strausser as if it defined his tenure. A lot of guys tried to make it out as if '22 defined this same OL unit, too. Clearly, it doesn't.
