One Player Each Colts’ Head Coaching Finalist Could Bring to Indy
The search for the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts is in its fourth week as the team narrows its search.
The Colts have trimmed their list of candidates to seven, with second interviews expected to wrap up by Wednesday evening. The list of finalists is as follows:
Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday
Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero
Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris
New York Giants defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale
Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Rich Bisaccia
Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan
It is not uncommon for coaches to bring along players from their previous stops. All coaches have players in mind that they have worked with in the past who fit their scheme and can make the team better. Conversely, players like to join teams with coaches they have a good relationship with and feel will put them in the best position to succeed.
Outside of Saturday – because he has never coached anywhere else – all of the candidates have players that could join them with the Colts this offseason. Let’s identify who those players are and their fit with the Colts. Note that all the players listed are expected to be free agents when the new league year begins in March.
Ejiro Evero and DE Dre’Mont Jones
Raheem Morris and S Nick Scott
Wink Martindale and CB Fabian Moreau
Rich Bisaccia and LB Eric Wilson
Shane Steichen and QB Gardner Minshew
