On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen will be their head coach. Steichen helped to author the NFL’s best and most interesting run game in the 2022 season, and he was a key part of Jalen Hurts’ progress to maybe-starting quarterback to absolute franchise quarterback.
Before Steichen held that job, he spent a lot of time with the Chargers organization, both in San Diego and Los Angeles. He was a defensive assistant in San Diego in 2011 and 2012, and after a year with the Cleveland Browns in 2013 as an offensive quality control coach, he returned to San Diego to hold that same position in 2014 and 2015. Then, he became the Chargers’ quarterbacks coach in 2016, holding that position through 2019, which put him in a lot of contact with Philip Rivers.
