INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have hired Shane Steichen as their head coach. The move ends a search that took more than a month and included more than a dozen candidates.
Each of the Colts' last two full-time hires were offensive coordinators for Philadelphia Eagles teams that made the Super Bowl. Frank Reich was hired in 2018 after the Eagles won their first championship since 1960 but was fired in October as the Colts’ season started to unravel.
Interim coach Jeff Saturday was one of the finalists for the permanent position. But Indy instead elected to hire Steichen, who becomes the league's third 37-year-old head coach.
