Indianapolis Colts Name New Head Coach

Shaquille Leonard, One of the NFL's Top Defensive Players, Out Indefinitely With Back Surgery

Colts and Leonard Agree Surgery Was the Best Option to Resolve Lingering Back Issue

The Indianapolis Colts have named Shane Steichen their new head coach, the team announced Tuesday. Steichen, 37, spent the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, helping lead the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2023.

Prior to Philadelphia, Steichen spent five seasons on the Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff, the first three as the team's quarterbacks coach and the final two as the offensive coordinator.

Steichen replaces Frank Reich, who was fired by the Colts after a disappointing 3-5-1 start to the 2022 season.

Steichen's hiring is a significant move for the Colts, who are looking to rebound from a disappointing 4-12-1 season in 2022. The Colts have not made the playoffs since 2018, and they have not won a playoff game since 2014.

Steichen is considered one of the rising stars in the coaching ranks. He was a finalist for the Colts head coaching job in 2022, and he was also interviewed for the Carolina Panthers head coaching job this offseason.

The Colts are hoping that Steichen can be the long-term answer at head coach. The team has not had a winning record since 2018, and they have not won a playoff game since 2014.

Steichen will be tasked with turning around a Colts team that has struggled in recent years. The Colts have not made the playoffs since 2018, and they have not won a playoff game since 2014.
