NFL  – Colts hire Eagles OC Shane Steichen as their head coach

  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.
