The Colts are getting closer to making a decision on their head coaching opening.

They have begun narrowing their long list of candidates to a short list of finalists.



Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero has joined that list.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports Evero will have a second interview in Indianapolis.

Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday also have made the round two cut.

Evero has a second interview scheduled for Wednesday with the Texans, and he has had initial interviews with the Cardinals, Panthers and Broncos.

He spent last season with the Broncos after winning a Super Bowl ring with the Rams during the 2021 season as their secondary coach and passing game coordinator. He was in camp with the Raiders as a player in 2004 and also has worked for the Buccaneers, 49ers and Packers.

Apparently, the Colts have an opening at HC, despite Jeff Saturday not posting his resignation on the internet


And this just popped up so

. Colts assistant offensive line coach Kevin Mawae is leaving the team to take over as head coach at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Matt Fortuna of TheAthletic.com reports. He replaces Trent Dilfer as the school’s head coach.

It appeared former NFL tight end Jason Witten was set to replace Dilfer after the former NFL quarterback accepted the head coaching job at UAB but Witten ended up staying at a high school in Texas. Lipscomb also interviewed former NFL players Jon Kitna and Ty McKenzie.

Lipscomb has become a destination for elite prep players. It went 13-0 last season, winning the TSSAA Division II-AA state title for the second year in a row after finishing second in 2020.

Mawae, a Pro Football Hall of Fame player, spent two seasons coaching with the Colts.
