I doubt Strausser's contract will be renewed next season.
I said it before and I will say it again - I think the main reason why Strausser kept his job and Brady did not was because the Colts didn't like the in season replacement options for OL Coach.
Mawae is still relatively new to coaching and we don't know how "good" he is at the job. FWIW, Mawae previously was an assistant line coach with the Bears for one season and he was not retained.
The only other coach on the staff who had recent OL coaching experience was TE Coach Klayton Adams (the current LB Coach had some experience 30 years ago as a member of the Houston Oilers coaching staff). The Colts could have combined the roles and made it OL + TE Coach but they may not have liked that idea with several young TE's on the roster. Considering what a dumpster fire the OL is - you know he probably would have had to devote most of his time to the OL.
