Indianapolis Colts fire coach Frank Reich

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have fired head coach Frank Reich, the team announced Monday, ending the 60-year-old coach’s tenure a little more than one season after extending Reich’s contract through the 2026 season.

Reich, who was the team’s second choice for the job in 2018 after Josh McDaniels backed out on the job, initially got off to a fast start in Indianapolis, first by guiding Andrew Luck and the Colts to the playoffs after a 1-5 start in his first season, then for getting the Colts back to the playoffs in 2020, just one season after Luck’s shocking retirement.
