Sources: Colts target Eagles OC Shane Steichen for HC job

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 agreement on a contract, sources told ESPN.

The Colts and Steichen cannot agree to a deal until after Super Bowl LVII on Sunday. The Colts want to meet this coming week to see if they can complete a deal with Steichen, who now is their top target after Indianapolis informed other remaining candidates Sunday morning that they are out of the running for the job.

The Colts began telling some head-coaching candidates that they planned to go in another direction on Friday, and then notified more candidates Sunday, leaving Steichen as the man they plan to turn to after the Super Bowl.
