New Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen didn’t forget to thank his former Philadelphia Eagles offensive players during his introductory press conference on Tuesday.
Steichen became visibly emotional when naming a long list of Eagles he worked with in Philly. To Steichen, he wouldn’t be an NFL head coach without the stellar play that his offense gave him as its play caller. As cynical as it can be to follow the NFL hiring process for its head coaches, it’s genuinely moving to see someone like Steichen remember that rising through the ranks is never just a one-man job.
