PHILADELPHIA — Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen agreed to terms to become the Indianapolis Colts' next head coach on Monday, leaving Philadelphia in need of a new play-caller at the start of their offseason.
Steichen, 37, spent the last two years running the Eagles offense and took over play-calling duties midway through last season after Eagles coach Nick Sirianni delegated the responsibility to better focus on game management.
"I have to be on my duties as a head coach," Sirianni said in December 2021 on the decision to give Steichen play-calling duties. "I have to be on those things and be convicted on when I'm making decisions and not just blind conviction, conviction based off of major, major studying. After the plan is in, after Shane and myself and the offensive staff have put the plan in, that's kind of the way we kind of go.
