INDIANAPOLIS — Colts general manager Chris Ballard telegraphed a long and wide-reaching search for a new head coach during his Jan. 1 news conference. And, nearly two weeks in, that's exactly what he's delivered.
That journey could be heading toward a conclusion, however, according to national reports.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Saturday morning Indianapolis' process is down to two finalists with ties to the rival Patriots — Josh McDaniels and Mike Vrabel. The MMQB's Albert Breer later confirmed that report and added the team still could bring in another candidate.
The finalists were part of an interview group that included former Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard and former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy — who was named the Bears' head coach Monday.
