Three years after the Philadelphia Eagles lost their offensive coordinator to the Indianapolis Colts, the latter lost his own CO to Brotherly Love City, the Eagles hiring Nick Sirianni as their next head coach on Thursday. Following Sirianni’s departure, however, Colts coach Frank Reich will not be looking outside the building for his next best assistant. According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Indianapolis is expected to promote quarterbacks coach Marcus Brady to the offensive coordinator for the 2021 season.
Hired by Reich as part of the coach’s original squad in 2018, Brady, 41, has spent the last two seasons coaching the Colts’ QBs, overseeing both Jacoby Brissett and Philip Rivers under the center. Now he will be tasked with helping Reich in the preparations for the game, not to mention going through an offseason which is expected to include a radical overhaul at QB, with Rivers retiring. Since Reich led the Colts, he has also been the team’s game keeper, indicating that Brady will not have those responsibilities.
Not drafted from Cal State Northridge’s Division II in 2002, Brady spent seven seasons as a quarterback in the Canadian Football League before beginning his coaching career. Receiver coach for the Montreal Alouettes from 2009 to 2011, he was promoted to offensive coordinator with the team in 2012, then spent the next five seasons in the same position with the Toronto Argonauts. After a year as an assistant coach for the Colts QB in 2018, he was promoted to head coach of the QB in 2019.
