Colts intend to hire Josh McDaniels as head coach after Friday meeting with Patriots OC

The Indianapolis Colts intend to hire Josh McDaniels as their head coach after Super Bowl LII, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Colts decided to offer the job to McDaniels after meeting Friday with the New England Patriots offensive coordinator to discuss shared long-term visions.

The NFL Network reported earlier this month that McDaniels was expected to accept the Colts' offer.

McDaniels, 41, will inherit a Colts team that went 4-12 and finished last in the AFC South in 2017 under Chuck Pagano.

The Colts own the No. 3 overall pick in this year's NFL draft and expect to have franchise quarterback Andrew Luck, who missed the entire 2017 season because of a shoulder injury, healthy for the 2018 season.
