Eagles OC Shane Steichen, a Sacramento-area native, hired as Colts head coach
Shane Steichen, a Sacramento-area native, has now been hired as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
The 37-year-old Oak Ridge High School alum had served as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, which was capped by a Super Bowl appearance.
He takes over a Colts franchise that saw the firing of Frank Reich and the hiring of interim head coach Jeff Saturday – a move widely panned throughout the NFL due to Saturday's lack of coaching experience.
Steichen, despite his relatively young age for a coach, has had extensive coaching experience across the NFL dating back to 2011 when he was hired as a defensive assistant for the then-San Diego Chargers.
Under Steichen, the Eagles had the third-ranked offense in points per game and yards per game this past season.
