The long list of Colts coaching candidates appears to be getting narrowed down, with some candidates getting second interviews. And one of those candidates is Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

Martindale is heading to Indianapolis this weekend for his second interview, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Colts fired Frank Reich during the 2022 season and replaced him with Jeff Saturday as interim head coach. Although the Colts didn’t play any better under Saturday than they did under Reich, Colts owner Jim Irsay appears to be strongly considering giving the job to Saturday on a permanent basis.

Martindale, who has a long track record as an NFL assistant, would be a more traditional choice. He’ll make his case to the Colts this weekend.

  1. I’m a big believer in the power of names and I must say I have a very hard time envisioning a super bowl winning football team that is helmed by a man by the name of Wink.

  2. Of the 74 candidates that Irsay has interviewed, I honestly think Saturday is the weakest. So he’ll almost certainly get the job.

  3. Wink Martindale would be a perfect choice for the Colts. His name sounds like a game show host, which would be perfect for what Irsay is running there.

  4. What’s with all of these second interviews? Just give the job to Saturday. That’s what Irsay wants to do. And they’ll continue to be a bad football team with that pee wee football coach.

    Well that’s because there WAS a game show host with the name Wink Martindale back in the day. Lol

    You do realize that’s why he’s called Wink in the first place, don’t you?
