The Indianapolis Colts were dealt a swift reminder of the hazards of flaunting an elite coaching staff earlier this offseason, as they lost a number of Frank Reich’s most trusted assistants to promotions with other organizations.
Of course, the most significant departure came in the form of Nick Sirianni, who was surprisingly hired as the Eagles’ new head coach after he spent the last three seasons doing an excellent job serving as the Colts’ offensive coordinator.
Luckily for Indianapolis, they were able to retain defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who was a hot commodity during the head coaching carousel this offseason and even interviewed for the Texans’ now-former head coaching vacancy.
