Frank Reich will call plays for Colts, but 'it'll be a collaborative effort'

INDIANAPOLIS -- Frank Reich will have an additional role to that of being head coach of the Colts next season. Reich, who was hired on Feb. 11, also will handle playcalling duties.

So, if there’s a questionable playcall made during the game, there will only be one person to blame: Reich.

Head coaches calling plays is nothing new around the NFL. Nearly half of the league's head coaches do it.

Reich previously was the offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, but it was head coach Doug Pederson who called the plays for the Super Bowl champions last season.
