Colts Rumors: Shane Steichen Described as Having 'Mad Scientist' Qualities

The Indianapolis Colts named Shane Steichen their new head coach on Tuesday, and the former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator really impressed the franchise with his "mad scientist" qualities, per ESPN's Stephen Holder.

One of those qualities was Steichen's "specific blueprint" on how to develop a young quarterback, according to Holder.

"Shane just knocked it out of the park and really showed the qualities that put him above during the whole process as our man," Colts owner Jim Irsay said.

The Colts are in a pivotal offseason in which they must address the quarterback position once and for all after years of mediocrity since Andrew Luck's abrupt retirement following the 2018 season.
