Report: Frank Reich, Colts Agree to 5-Year Contract to Become Team's Head Coach

The Indianapolis Colts thought they had New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their next head coach, but they settled on someone who beat him in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Indianapolis agreed to a five-year contract with Frank Reich, making him the team's head coach after he spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Reich was previously an offensive assistant for the Colts from 2008 through 2011.

This comes after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the Colts brought Reich in for an interview after McDaniels elected to stay with the Patriots instead of taking the Indianapolis position.
