His former team weighed in.

And so did former Colts.
Frank Reich was with me at the end of my tenure with the Colts. He has a creative offensive mind. He’s a great communicator and a high quality person. The Colts are in great hands. #Integrity pic.twitter.com/YT3s4fpwkc

Glorious day! It appears the unit will have a new general soon. Frank Reich shall take command. His Eagles were the ultimate victor last campaign. Now, the time has come to shed his feathers and attach some horse shoes. Invigorating.

Pacers get a win. Colts get their man.

What a great day for Indy sports.
So instead of getting the Super Bowl losing OC as their new Head Coach... The Colts get the Super Bowl winning OC as their new Head Coach
