The Indianapolis Colts’ coaching staff during the 2020 and 2021 NFL seasons have ended up putting together some impressive individual resumes.
As noted by Jim Ayello of The Athletic, the Colts’ coaching staffs during those two seasons under head coach Frank Reich included three future head coaches:
– Nick Siriani (currently with Philadelphia)
– Matt Eberflus (formerly with Chicago)
– Jonathan Gannon (currently with Arizona)
With the Colts, Siriani was the offensive coordinator, Eberflus the defensive coordinator, and Gannon the cornerbacks coach.
In addition to those three, these four went on to be NFL offensive coordinators:
– Kevin Patullo (currently with Philadelphia)
– Klayton Adams (currently with Dallas)
– Marcus Brady (formerly with Colts)
– Press Taylor (formerly with Jacksonville)
On the Colts’ staff, Brady took over as the offensive coordinator in 2021 after Siriani left. Adams was an assistant offensive line coach and then the tight ends coach in Indianapolis. Patullo was the pass game specialist in 2020 and Taylor was a senior offensive assistant in 2021.
On the defensive side of the ball, Alan Williams was the Colts’ defensive backs coach from 2018-2021 and he was the Chicago Bears’ defensive coordinator from 2022-2023.
That’s a pretty impressive resume for a collective coaching staff to have over a two-year span.
The 2020 season was the last time that the Colts were in the playoffs. They finished 11-5 that season and lost in the AFC Wildcard round to Buffalo.
In 2021, the Colts went 9-8 and missed out on the playoffs after losing their final two games of the season.
