Why it's time for Colts to move on from Shane Steichen and Daniel Jones
Things are only trending downward for Indianapolis in a lost 2026 season. A quarterback and head coach change may be warranted.
The Indianapolis Colts are increasingly considering the future of both head coach Shane Steichen and starting quarterback Daniel Jones. After suffering a devastating 42-7 loss to the Jaguars, it's becoming evident that the team needs a significant overhaul. Since the retirement of Andrew Luck, the Colts have struggled to find a consistent franchise quarterback, leading to a revolving door of stop-gap veterans and ultimately numerous playoff appearances.
This season, Jones' performance has been inconsistent, with a high number of interceptions and a decline in his athleticism since his Achilles injury. The defense has also been struggling, allowing high-point totals to several top teams. With Shane Steichen now evaluating Jones' future, it may be time for the Colts to move on from both Jones and Steichen to begin a fresh rebuild.
