Indianapolis Colts hire Josh McDaniels as head coach

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts had to wait for more than five weeks, but they finally named New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their new head coach -- landing the man they plan to pair with quarterback Andrew Luck for years to come.

McDaniels, 41, replaces Chuck Pagano, who was fired on Dec. 31 after six seasons. The Colts interviewed McDaniels in the first week of January and had a second interview with him during the bye week preceding Super Bowl LII.

McDaniels is the second significant change made by the Colts in as many years.
