Whose job is it on the coaching staff to get these guys to learn how to carry the rock?

I stick with my game thread comment: make every skill position player on offense run sprints from the 30 through the back of the end zone indefinitely and no ball should touch the ground for any reason during this.

Or make a new team policy - every touch down must involve running through the back of the end zone with the ball in hand and then giving it to a ref. l No spikes, l no celebration until after you've done that. Even if it's a goal-line dive and you're tackled just across the goal line, still make it required that you get up with the ball and walk it through the end zone. Fine anyone who doesn't follow this team rule.

Actually, I said in last week's game thread when Jonathan Taylor nearly dropped the ball at the goal-line again against the Titans that spiking the ball would be a solution to the problem ...... I have NEVER seen a player spike the ball at the 1/2-yardline and get a TD overturned. In the dozens and dozens of times in which this gaffe has happened in both college and pro football over the last 30 years since the advent of instant-replay, it has ALWAYS been from a player dropping the ball at the 1/2-yardline ...... make it mandatory that all Colts players must spike the ball after a TD, because that would almost certainly eliminate the problem.
