One Candidate Is Emerging As A Favorite For Colts’ HC Position

The Indianapolis Colts 2022 season saw them making a shocking head coaching move during the season.

While the team had Frank Reich, his 3-5-1 start to the season saw the team firing him.

The firing led the Colts to hiring Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach to finish the season.

While team owner Jim Irsay is giving Saturday a chance in coaching interviews, another person is emerging as a favorite for the team.

This person is the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Morris’ second interview process has been “lengthy,” as he’s one of several people to reach a second round of interviews.

Raheem Morris is having a lengthy in-person interview with the #Colts today. Was told Morris was still with the team as of early evening. Morris is one of several candidates as part of Indy’s second round of talks.

Morris is a defensive-minded coach, something which can help the team if they hire him.

He also comes with some experience as a head coach, as he spent three seasons coaching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during his career.

While he had only one winning season with them, it wasn’t enough to get them to the playoffs that season.

However, despite the limited head coaching experience, he at least has NFL coaching experience.

He also has experience coaching Super Bowl winning defenses, as he has two Super Bowl rings as a defensive coach.

These highlights are shining in Indianapolis, as his time with the Buccaneers and Rams saw their defense shine.

If he gets the job as the next head coach of the Colts, they hope he can revive their defense and team in 2023.
