INDIANAPOLIS -- Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich has agreed to a five-year deal to be the Indianapolis Colts' next coach, according to a source.
Reich replaces Chuck Pagano -- and somewhat Josh McDaniels -- as coach. Indianapolis announced that McDaniels, New England's offensive coordinator, had agreed to become coach on Feb. 6 and scheduled an introductory press conference for the next day. McDaniels then called Colts general manager Chris Ballard on the evening of Feb. 6 and reneged on the agreement, saying he decided to stay with New England. Ballard took the blame for the team announcing the agreement with McDaniels before he signed the contract.
