The Facts: According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Marcus Brady is being promoted from QB coach to OC for the Colts.
Diehards Line:Brought in by Reich as part of his original staff after five years as an offensive coordinator for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL, Brady has been the staffer primarily responsible for teaching fundamentals and technique to the quarterbacks. With Jacob Eason unable to get many snaps in practice this season, Brady was the point man in the rookie quarterback’s development, pulling Eason aside after practices and before games to go through the playbook, throwing programs and his technique. Brady, who would be just the third Black offensive coordinator in the NFL, along with Kansas City's Eric Bieniemy and Tampa Bay's Byron Leftwich, also plays a key role in Indianapolis offensive game-planning. Brady is the point man for the Colts on the team’s weekly protection plan, a critical part of Reich’s system. Each week, Brady studies the opposing defense’s pressure packages, gets the tape ready and gets the ball rolling on the team’s plan to deal with the opponent’s pass rush. Under Reich, the Colts spend more time than most teams on protecting the quarterback, and in the past three seasons, the Colts have finished first, 10th and tied for second in the NFL in sacks allowed. Now the rising star will replace Nick Sirianni who become Eagles head coach.
