Colts fire coach Caldwell after three seasons (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? The Indianapolis Colts fired head coach Jim Caldwell after the team finished tied for the National Football League's worst record on the 2011 season, the club said on Tuesday.

Caldwell had a 26-22 record in three seasons as the Colts coach but capped his tenure with a 2-14 campaign played entirely without injured, 11-time Pro Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning.

He joined the Colts in 2002 as a quarterbacks coach under former head coach Tony Dungy, who he succeeded in 2009.

Caldwell's release comes two weeks after the team released Vice Chairman Bill Polian and General Manager Chris Polian.

The team scheduled a 4 p.m. (2100 GMT) news conference where team owner Jim Irsay and General Manager Ryan Grigson will be available.
