INDIANAPOLIS — Shane Steichen's coaching staff is starting to come together. The new Indianapolis Colts head coach is expected to name veteran NFL assistant Jim Bob Cooter as the team's offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.
Cooter, 38, was most recently the Jacksonville Jaguars' passing game coordinator. Steichen and Cooter have some recent history together as Cooter served as an offensive consultant for Steichen's former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in 2021.
A former college quarterback at Tennessee, Cooter brings critical quarterback expertise to the Colts who are widely expected to draft a quarterback this offseason.
Indianapolis has the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft. The team has not made any official announcements about its staff, but multiple sources have indicated that defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and a majority of his staff will be retained under Steichen.
