Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Colts have Eagles OC Frank Reich on their short list of coaching candidates and are likely to put in a request to interview him for their head-coaching job.
It was somewhat surprising that Reich didn’t generate much interest as a head-coaching candidate the past month, but it clearly helps that the Eagles were able to go on an impressive postseason run that ended with a Super Bowl title.
Other candidates linked to the Colts include Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub and Bills DC Leslie Frazier.
Reich, 56, is a former third-round pick of the Bills back in 1985. He played 14 years in the NFL for the Bills, Panthers, Jets and Lions.
Reich began his coaching career with the Colts as an offensive coaching staff assistant back in 2008. He worked his way up to WRs coach before taking jobs with the Cardinals and Chargers.
The Eagles hired him as their offensive coordinator in 2016 under Doug Pederson.
In 2017, the Eagles’ offensive ranked No. 3 in points scored, No. 7 in total yards, No. 3 in rushing yards and No. 13 in passing yards.
We’ll have more regarding the Colts as the news is available.
