Colts' Steichen Ranks Higher in 2026 Coach Rankings

Despite the Colts missing the playoffs again with a 25-26 record over three seasons, Steichen has impressed with his game planning and offensive capabilities. His unit was among the most productive in football through 10 games last season before the team collapsed on a seven-game losing streak.

The ranking excludes new hires, placing Steichen 15th out of 22 returning head coaches. The Colts are banking on replicating their strong early season performance from 2023, as the team looks to overcome adversity in must-win situations under Steichen's leadership.
