The Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals are the only NFL teams remaining with head coaching vacancies, and the former’s owner preached patience on Tuesday.
Jim Irsay explained the Colts are going through a “thorough process” that will lead to a final decision “in days not hours.” So don’t expect Indianapolis to name a head coach Tuesday, but it could reach a conclusion ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl.
The timing of the hire could depend on whether the Colts want to hire Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, who will be busy over the next few days preparing for the Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Steichen interviewed for the position Saturday and noted the Colts could wait to name their head coach until after the Chiefs or Eagles lift the Lombardi Trophy.
