FRANK REICH

The Panthers announced Sunday they have hired Ejiro Evero, the former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator, to run their defense. Evero had gotten interest as a coordinator and as a head coach after an impressive 2022 running the Broncos defense. Evero, who is 42 years old, got his first shot to be an NFL defensive coordinator last season and made a name for himself. Before joining the Broncos, Evero was part of the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl championship team as the defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach. Evero met with new Broncos coach Sean Payton but Evero was let out of his contract to pursue other jobs.

The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with Ejiro Evero to be their new defensive coordinator.

Frank Reich, who threw the first touchdown in Panthers' history, was introduced Tuesday as Carolina's new head coach.

Former Carolina Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks says he is “disappointed, but not defeated” that he didn’t land the team’s full-time head coaching position.

The Panthers announced the hiring of former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich. The Jets hired former Denver Broncos head coach and Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new OC. This is huge news for the Cowboys, who manage to hang onto Quinn through yet another head coach hiring cycle. Charles McDonald believes Hurts may be able to throw it deep against San Francisco – the cornerbacks may be their one weakness. 00:25 - The Panthers hire Frank Reich to be their next head coach13:55 - The Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their next offensive coordinator.

Frank Reich, the first QB in Carolina history, will finally have his chance to draft and mold a franchise quarterback.

The Panthers announced Thursday they've agreed to terms with Reich to become the sixth head coach in franchise history. Reich was chosen among nine candidates who interviewed for the job, including former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and this season's interim head coach, Steve Wilks. Reich becomes the first Panthers head coach to come from an offensive background. Reich follows Dom Capers, George Seifert, John Fox, Ron Rivera and Matt Rhule as the franchise's sixth full-time head coach. Among the candidates the Panthers already have interviewed for that position is Vic Fangio, the former head coach of the Denver Broncos.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (AP) — The Carolina Panthers agreed to terms with Frank Reich to become their new head coach on Thursday. Reich becomes the first Panthers head coach to come from an offensive background. Reich becomes the sixth full-time head coach of the Panthers, following Dom Capers, George Seifert, John Fox, Ron Rivera and Matt Rhule. Among the others who interviewed included former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, former Detroit Lions and Colts head coach Jim Caldwell, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and four NFL offensive coordinators — Kellen Moore (Cowboys), Shane Steichen (Eagles), Mike Kafka (Giants) and Ken Dorsey (Bills). Among the candidates the Panthers have already interviewed for that position is Vic Fangio, the former head coach of the Denver Broncos.

The Carolina Panthers are hiring their first-ever quarterback, Frank Reich, to be their next head coach after he spent the last five seasons with the Colts.

The Panthers have hired Frank Reich as their next head coach, the team announced Thursday.

The Carolina Panthers have hired Frank Reich as their new head coach following an extensive search.

After being fired mid-season by the Indianapolis Colts, Reich was announced Thursday as the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers. Reich, 61, played quarterback for the Panthers back in 1995 as part of his 14-year playing career. From there, he spent part of five seasons as the Colts’ head coach, amassing a 40-33 overall record with two postseason appearances. The Panthers have had five consecutive seasons with a losing record and haven’t played in the postseason since 2017. The Panthers hope Reich is the coach to take it back to the top of the NFC South, the division they have not won since 2015.

Jim Irsay and the Indianapolis Colts are officially considering removing Jeff Saturday’s interim tag. The Colts owner announced on Thursday afternoon that they had completed an interview to hire Saturday as their full-time head coach next season. Saturday's hiring shocked plenty in the NFL world, especially considering that he had no coaching experience whatsoever. Saturday did win his first game with the team, but he ended up going 1-7 with the Colts. After his struggles, many assumed Irsay would go in a very different direction when hiring his next head coach.

The hiring of Jeff Saturday in Indianapolis earlier this season came as a surprise to just about everyone in the NFL world. As it turns out, that includes Colts players and assistant coaches. Instead, Colts owner Jim Irsay opted to hire the ESPN analyst as his interim coach instead — something that Colts players and assistants learned from Twitter and other alerts on their phones. But Saturday, who played for the Colts for 13 seasons, never took him up on it. Who knows what direction Irsay will take after the Colts wrap up their season on Sunday afternoon.

Find out FOX Bet's hypothetical odds on the Denver Bronco's next head coach after the team fired Nathaniel Hackett.

Jim Irsay hinted that college coaches and other "unknown" names will be candidates for the Colts' head coaching job. He also did not rule out keeping Jeff Saturday next year.

The Philadelphia Eagles hired former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Marcus Brady as a special consultant, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder and Tim McManus . Brady is now reportedly working with the Eagles defense and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, per the report, with the goal of providing an offensive perspective to their defensive schemes. Brady was in his second season with the Colts this year, though he was fired two weeks before Colts coach Frank Reich was let go. Brady also spent three seasons as the team’s quarterbacks coach from 2018-20 — when current Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was the Colts offensive coordinator — and worked for nearly a decade as an assistant in the CFL. Brady, 43, now joins the Eagles one week after their 17-16 win over the Colts.

The Philadelphia Eagles' victory over the Indianapolis colts on Sunday meant something special for head coach Nick Sirianni, who called it "sweet" following Frank Reich's firing.

Nick Sirianni was Frank Reich's offensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts for three seasons, and that was a springboard to him getting the Philadelphia Eagles' head-coaching job. Sirianni was fired up to beat the Colts, and not just to push his Eagles to 9-1 this season. Reich was fired two weeks ago by the Colts, and after the Eagles had a dramatic comeback win over Indianapolis, Sirianni let it be known that he wanted to make the Colts pay for firing his mentor. "I'm emotional because I love Frank Reich," Nick Sirianni said. Nick Sirianni very emotional after the winShouts out Frank Reich.

Jalen Hurts ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:20 remaining, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied past the Indianapolis Colts 17-16.

"If there's 100 stones to turn over ... he's going to turn them (all) over twice to make sure that he got everything," a colleague said of Colts playcaller Parks Frazier.

Matt Ryan got his job back as the Colts’ starter under TV analyst-turned-interim coach Jeff Saturday.

Jeff Saturday joked that the Indianapolis Colts will start calling zone-read plays for 37-year-old quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan has never been known for his swift feet, but his career-best, 39-yard scramble to convert a third-and-3 in the fourth quarter led to his winning touchdown pass two plays later. It capped an unusual week when the Colts fired coach Frank Reich and replaced him with Saturday, whose only prior coaching experience was at a Georgia high school.

After a week filled with pontification, the Indianapolis Colts took the field for the first time on Sunday under new head coach Jeff Saturday. Saturday's first order of business on his first gameday was to reinstate Matt Ryan, who'd been benched by ousted coach Frank Reich in favor of Sam Ehlinger. The Colts got on the board first on Sunday when Ryan capped a 70-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown sneak. This 39-yard run by Matt Ryan is the longest run in his 15-year NFL career👏Before today, the most rushing yards Ryan had in a game was 37. (2017 vs Patriots)🎥@NFLpic.twitter.com/23Z1SJmhSG — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) November 14, 2022The run set up a 35-yard touchdown pass to Parris Campbell, and the Colts took the lead for good.

The Colts plan to conduct an extensive head coaching search in the offseason, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports.

The Indianapolis Colts hiring former player and ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday to replace Frank Reich as head coach was pretty shocking, and it sounds like not everyone inside the building was in favor of the move. Irsay was described as "hellbent" on hiring Saturday, but he may have done so without considering the ramifications — not just among players, but the coaching staff as well. The Colts eventually settled on 30-year-old pass game specialist/assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier as their play caller, even though he has never called plays in the NFL. The true reason is known only to Irsay, but Saturday's "leadership" qualities were apparently a big factor. Saturday will make his NFL coaching debut (and Frazier will make his play-calling debut) against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at 4:05pm ET.

A vast majority of the quarterback changes made in the offseason have not worked out for NFL contenders looking to stabilize the position and win right away.

The NFL’s overwhelming popularity just keeps on growing, no matter how many significant, unsavory off-field issues loom as its season enters its second half.

Here's everything you need to know about Colts-Raiders, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick from Geoff Schwartz.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — When Colts owner Jim Irsay first contacted Jeff Saturday, he wanted answers about Indy's struggling offensive line. Since then, Ehlinger has seen his offensive coordinator fired, his head coach fired, a friend traded and his assistant position coach, Parks Frazier, promoted to play-caller. “I didn’t know who was going to be the head coach. “Love him as a coach and person and appreciate everything he’s done for the Colts and my success. Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said he likes what Saturday brings, acknowledging the Colts needed a jolt of energy.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay first contacted Jeff Saturday because he wanted answers about the struggling offensive line.

The timeline of how Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay hired Jeff Saturday is murky. In his first solo news conference since being named interim head coach, Saturday admitted that Irsay called the former Colts center and ESPN analyst twice on Sunday. They will do an exhaustive search and pick whoever their best candidate is to be the head coach of the Colts. Lost to the fanfare is the reality that Saturday and the Colts have had only one walkthrough practice since he became head coach. And they also have a game this week against the Las Vegas Raiders and, ironically, the coach Irsay originally tried to hire before Reich — Josh McDaniels.

It appears that the Indianapolis Colts will not have experience on their side this Sunday against the Raiders. Assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier is expected to serve as the offensive play-caller starting Sunday against the Raiders, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Another surprise in Indianapolis: #Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday is expected to have 30-year-old pass game specialist/assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier serve as the offensive play-caller starting Sunday against the #Raiders, sources tell me and @RapSheet. “I’m glad he doesn’t have NFL experience. Now that Frazier has also secured a new title without experience, the Colts’ coaching developments continue to be unconventional and potentially lasting decisions that could have some implications across the league.

Indianapolis Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday faces a dauting task this week.

The NFL had a record-tying 10 coaching changes last offseason and three-quarters of the teams have changed head coaches at least once in the past five years. Here's a look at some coaches who figure to be on the hot seat if things don't turn around in the second half of the season and some assistants who could be in line for head coaching jobs. With Hackett's offense struggling with new high-priced quarterback Russell Wilson and new ownership in town, Hackett could one and done in his first head coaching job unless things change. After a failed stint as head coach in Tampa Bay more than a decade ago, Morris could be in line to get another chance. He has spent years as an assistant, working on offense, defense and as an interim head coach in Atlanta in 2020.

There has already been two coaching changes halfway through the NFL season with Indianapolis firing Frank Reich this week four weeks after Carolina did the same to Matt Rhule.

The Indianapolis Colts have looked directionless ever since Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement right before the 2019 season. After Rivers retired in 2020, Ballard tried to recapture the glory of the previous season by reuniting Reich with Carson Wentz. Ballard spent a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 first for the former Eagles quarterback, and that move failed spectacularly. In all, no team has spent more in salary cap dollars on quarterbacks since 2019 than the Colts' $133 million, per OverTheCap.com. The Colts’ past two draft classes have not impressed, save for 2021 first-round pass rusher Kwity Paye and 2022 second-round wideout Alec Pierce.

The Colts fired Frank Reich and brought in longtime center Jeff Saturday as the interim head coach. But the coach won't matter if they don't upgrade at QB.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — Frank Reich's attempt to fix the Indianapolis Colts' sputtering offense failed so now team owner Jim Irsay is turning to another trusted name — former All-Pro center Jeff Saturday. Last Tuesday, Reich fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady even though Reich was calling the plays. Now Reich is out in the first midseason coaching change Irsay has made since taking over as owner 25 years ago. Reich took the Colts to the playoffs in two of his first four seasons and had them on the cusp of making it last season. Reich is the second coach to be fired this season, joining Matt Rhule of Carolina.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have fired coach Frank Reich after another lackluster offensive performance in the team's third consecutive loss. Indy (3-5-1) has the league's lowest scoring offense. Reich was hired in 2018 after serving as offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles. Two weeks ago, Reich announced the benching of longtime NFL veteran Matt Ryan, the league's 2016 MVP. Last week, he fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady even though Reich was the one calling plays.

Is Sam Ehlinger the Colts' QB of the future? And what's up with Indianapolis firing its OC and trading explosive RB Nyheim Hines?

It's not an apples to apples situation, but it was one of the first things that came to mind on hearing Tuesday's news that Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady, with the Colts 3-4-1 in a weak AFC South. But a couple of years later, with his own job on the line, Reich fired Brady to try to take the attention away from his own shortcomings. Pretty much everyone, including Colts fans, sees that firing Brady was a nakedly self-serving move by Reich. Funny enough, Brady isn't the first Colts' OC to be so transparently scapegoated. Of course Reich wasn't going to fire himself, but letting Brady take the fall in this particular situation stinks.

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel played 14 seasons as an NFL linebacker.

Colts coach Frank Reich fired OC Marcus Brady on Tuesday, two days after another subpar offensive showing in a loss to Washington.

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Marcus Brady was fired Tuesday morning following the team's Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, the team announced. "I appreciate Marcus's commitment to the organization, and he made a significant contribution to our offensive success over the last five seasons. For one, Reich is actually the team's offensive play-caller – not Brady – which follows a familiar trend this season. Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett is also his team's offensive play-caller and the Broncos average slightly fewer points than the Colts. Brady, 43, was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2021 after three seasons as the team's quarterbacks coach.

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke ruined Sam Ehlinger's first career start for the Indianapolis Colts with a 17-16 victory.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback scrambled left to escape a collapsing pocket, keeping the ball tight and his eyes downfield. This week, as the Colts host the Washington Commanders, Ehlinger has a chance in his first NFL start to prove it. Even head coach Frank Reich seemed jarred when he told Ryan: "We did not hold up to our end of the bargain." “It would be fair to frame it that nobody would bet against Sam the competitor and the person making it,” one NFL talent evaluator who scouted Ehlinger told Yahoo Sports. “I just naturally had to step up and be a leader in my house,” Ehlinger said.

Just two days after Colts' Matt Ryan learned he would be sitting on the bench for the foreseeable future, he told reporters he would still support the team despite his disappointment.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan stood at his locker Wednesday, the disappointment etched all over his face. Players and coaches spoke effusively about Ryan's ability to command a room and the huddle while team owner Jim Irsay told reporters he thought Ryan could stick around three or four more years. “It's a tough situation, tough for everybody,” said Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly, who will be snapping to his ninth starting quarterback in seven seasons. It sucks, man.”At age 37 and with one year left on his contract, Ryan also understands he may never play again. Ryan has completed 5,445 of 8,300 passes for 61,473 yards, 376 touchdown passes and led 45 fourth-quarter comebacks.

The disappointment was etched all over Matt Ryan's face.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are benching starting quarterback Matt Ryan in favor of second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Coach Frank Reich made the announcement Monday after Ryan threw two more interceptions in Sunday's 19-10 loss at Tennessee. Reich said Ryan suffered a separated throwing shoulder in the game, but that the decision to make a change was not injury related. Ryan leads the NFL with nine interceptions and has fumbled 11 times this season. Ehlinger will be the seventh different starting quarterback Reich has used in his five-year tenure with the Colts.

“Every year, Jan. 20 is a special and emotional day,” Rivers said in a statement posted on the team’s website. “It is St. Sebastian’s Feast day, the day I played in the AFC championship without an ACL, and now the day that after 17 seasons, I’m announcing my retirement from the National Football League. I am grateful to the Chargers for 16 seasons, and the Colts for the 17th season.”Rivers was one of a kind.
