Colts Fire Frank Reich After 5 Seasons, Name Jeff Saturday Interim Head Coach

The Indianapolis Colts have actually fired head coach Frank Reich following the group’s blowout loss to the Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium … and, strikingly, have actually called previous star offending lineman Jeff Saturday the interim HC.

Colts owner Jim Irsay validated the news on his Twitter page on Monday early morning.

The Colts dropped to 3-5-1 after losing to New England, 26-3 … as the group showed a failure to score offensively under novice quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Reich took control of the Colts in 2018 — after Josh McDaniels rejected the franchise at the last minute — leading the group to a 10-6 record that season and an 11-5 record in 2020.

Reich led the Colts to the playoffs two times.

However, the 60-year-old play-caller didn’t constantly take pleasure in success in Indy … in 2019, he completed with a 7-9 record, and things were surely trending because instructions this season.

The org. benched Matt Ryan … and relied on Ehlinger to restore their season, however after falling even more behind in the AFC South race, Indy is quiting on the Reich experiment.
