The Colts have requested an interview with Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan for their head coaching vacancy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.

Callahan is in his fourth season as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator. He previously was the quarterbacks coach for the Raiders (2018) and Lions (2016-17).

The Colts are seeking to replace Frank Riech, who they fired Nov. 7.

Jeff Saturday, who finished up the season as the team’s interim head coach, interviewed for the job Thursday.

The Colts also have completed interviews with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and Colts special teams coach Bubba Ventrone.

They have scheduled interviews with 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

  1. I’m sure he’s a good candidate but since it’s always mentioned with Eric Bieniemy, he doesn’t call the plays on game day, the head coach Zac Taylor does.

  2. Can I get on their interview list?? Seems like they’ve interviewed most every live body they can find. I’ll happily take in a binder and talk up a few plays. Shallow Hal cross, x yolo, Y Idunno. I bet Irsay would love me.

  3. Doesn’t call the plays and they never seem to find NFL quality o-lineman under his leadership. Otherwise Colts will definitely sign up for Bengals offense.

    The OL issues go back to the Marvin Days. This isn’t exclusive to Zac Taylor and Brian Callahan.
