Is Indianapolis Colts history going to repeat itself? It’s only been five years since Jim Irsay’s Colts were publicly humiliated by Josh McDaniels when he accepted and then withdrew from the head coaching job after he was hired following an extensive interview process. The Colts ran through a long list of candidates, as any team would, and had extensive interest in Matt Rhule, Steve Wilks, Matt Nagy, Mike Vrabel, and Kris Richard, eventually coming to an agreement with McDaniels.
After agreeing to contract terms and hiring assistant coaches, the Colts scheduled an introductory press conference for the following day.
