The Indianapolis Colts will undergo the method of hiring a brand new head coach this offseason and a preferred title has reemerged as a candidate within the type of Buffalo Payments defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
Frazier has been among the many prime head coach candidates for some time now, and he was even interviewed again in 2018 when the Colts went by means of the method earlier than hiring Frank Reich.
As Jeff Saturday finally ends up his position as interim head coach earlier than the offseason, Frazier has been linked as a possible candidate to be employed by the Colts, based on Dan Graziano of ESPN.
“Payments defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has been introduced as much as me by multiple particular person these days as a reputation to look at for the Indianapolis Colts’ head-coaching place as soon as the season is over. Frazier has an ally in Tony Dungy, whose phrase carries some weight in Indy. Frazier is a former head coach who has administered one of many league’s finest defenses for a number of years now and certain deserves one other likelihood. The questions in Indy could be who’s going to play quarterback and who’s going to run the offense. However Frazier actually has a plan in place for the latter, and it’s the group’s job to determine the previous.”
Frazier would definitely be an intriguing rent. He’s been within the league as a coach since 1999 after he performed for the Chicago Bears for 5 seasons (1981-1985).
The Payments protection is continually towards the highest of the league, and Frazier has the expertise that will assist the Colts get by means of a rebuild. He served as a head coach with the Minnesota Vikings (2011-2013) and has served as an assistant head coach thrice with the Colts (2006), Vikings (2008-2010) and Payments (2020-present).
Frazier would deliver a defensive mentality to the locker room, which might be a change from the offensive minds of Reich and Saturday. However there’s slight an opportunity he would deliver over present Payments offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. Although, Dorsey himself is more likely to be up for some head teaching gigs as effectively.
We’ll see what the offseason holds for the Colts, however there’s loads of work to be achieved. The primary order of enterprise will likely be to discover a head coach, and Frazier must be close to the highest of that listing.
