Indianapolis must find answers on an offense that ranks dead-last in the NFL in points (14.7), sacks allowed (35), turnovers (17, tied with New England) and ranks 27th in yardage.
INDIANAPOLIS — Interim head coach Jeff Saturday is interviewing current members of the coaching staff for the offensive coordinator position left open by the team’s decision to fire head coach Frank Reich.
Indianapolis must find answers on an offense that ranks dead-last in the NFL in points , sacks allowed , turnovers and ranks 27th in yardage. Reich, the man in charge of the Colts offense for the past 74 games, fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady last week, and then the head coach himself was fired on Monday.
The only assistant coach remaining on staff who’s served as an offensive coordinator is quarterbacks coach Scott Milanovich. Running backs coach Scottie Montgomery has not been an offensive coordinator at the NFL level, but he has extensive experience in the role at the college level. Montgomery served as the offensive coordinator at Duke and Maryland, along with a head coaching stint at East Carolina, and he has been the team’s RPO expert for the past two seasons, a role that could fit well with quarterback Sam Ehlinger.
