0:00On April 8th, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Stuykin just climbed from 20th to 15th in the latest 2026 NFL head coach. Rankings by Roto World. That's a solid jump even though his team missed the playoffs again with an 8-9 record. Over three seasons, he's posted a 25 wins, 26 losses mark, dealing with non-stop injuries and quarterback chaos. The Colts have cycled through starters like Anthony Richardson, Gardner Menshu, Joe Flacco, Daniel Jones, Phillip Rivers, and Rookie Riley Leonard. Stuykin backed drafting Richardson fourth overall back in 2023, but the position's been a total revolving door, forcing him to adapt. Schemes on the fly, fans and analysts see the bright spots, especially with Jones having a career year in Stuykin's offense before an Achilles tear sideline to him. Even without Jones for the final four games, backups Rivers and Leonard kept things rolling, landing the Colts at top 10 offense at eighth and scoring, with 27.4 points per game.

1:02Ownership, led by Carly Erse Gordon, shows real fate in the 40-year-old offensive guru, giving him and GM Chris Ballard a shot in what could be. A make or break, 2026. Stuykin stock is high enough that he'd land on his feet elsewhere, maybe back calling plays for the Eagles. This ranking bump signals patients might pay off if the pieces finally click next season.
