The Colts have targeted Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen to be the franchise’s next head coach, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning.
Indianapolis has informed other candidates for the job that the club is planning to move forward with Steichen, per Schefter, as the Philadelphia assistant prepares for Super Bowl LVII on Sunday evening. After an exhaustive interview process and a successful season leading the Eagles’ high-powered offense, the 37-year-old Steichen apparently will get an opportunity to take charge of a team of his own.
The Colts and Steichen will not be able to agree to a deal until after the Super Bowl, but they plan to meet later this week with the intention of striking a deal. If the hire does become official, Steichen would become the second Eagles offensive coordinator to be hired by the Colts as head coach, after Indianapolis brought aboard Frank Reich following Philadelphia’s run to the Super Bowl in the 2017 season.
