The Indianapolis Colts have gone through an exhaustive coaching search. Indianapolis has narrowed down its coaching list and Shane Steichen is a front-runner for the coaching job. According to ESPN Reporter Adam Schefter, the Indianapolis Colts have targeted Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen to be their next head coach and plan to hire him if the sides can reach an agreement on a contract. Shane Steichen will be coaching in the Superbowl and the Colts can’t finalize any deal until the game is over.

Colt’s Owner Jim Irsay recently provided details about the coaching search. Irsay said the final decision on the coach would be coming in days, not hours.
