The Indianapolis Colts are hiring, according to ESPN.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Indianapolis Colts have added Alex Tanney, a former quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, to their offensive staff. This move was anticipated, according to Jake Rabadi of The Liberty Line, a sports website based in Philadelphia. Fowler later released formal reports and confirmations of the action.

Tanney will coordinate the Colts’ passing game for the team this coming season, according to James Boyd, a Colts beat writer for The Athletic:

The Eagles made a number of changes to their coaching staff after their 2023 season ended poorly, and Tanney was recently let go. There was conjecture following his dismissal regarding his potential reunion with Colts head coach Shane Steichen in Indianapolis.

Tanney worked with Steichen, the former offensive coordinator for Philadelphia, for two seasons (2021–2022) during his three seasons there overall. Tanney will now meet him again in Indianapolis.

We should take a close look at the 49ers’ desperate need for another game-winning play.

The date is January 14, 2012. We are in San Francisco at Candlestick Park. The 49ers need a touchdown with 14 seconds remaining, down three, and facing a third down to maintain their hopes of making the playoffs without having to go to OT. In the meantime, the Saints can draw a conclusion from this and move on to the NFC Championship Game. We need to look back in time to comprehend how we got here and to fully appreciate what this moment signifies.

In addition, Tanney has experience as an NFL quarterback from 2012 to 2020 (including a 2015 spell on the Colts practice squad). It is possible that Tanney was among the coaches Steichen tried to hire once he was appointed head coach of the Colts.
