(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Indianapolis Colts and Running Backs Coach David Walker have mutually agreed to part ways, the team said Monday morning.
"We're grateful for David's contributions to the Colts' success over the last four years and wish him nothing but the best in the future," said Head Coach Chuck Pagano told WTHR.
Walker's departure comes after four seasons with the team. Before joining the Colts, Walker spent five years as the University of Pittsburgh's running backs coach.
