Colts Got Jokes For Fans Who Got Jokes About Frank Reich Hiring

The Colts were in the news after the Super Bowl, but for the wrong reasons.

After the team was rebuffed by Josh McDaniels, who chose to remain with the Patriots rather than go through with his verbal agreement to be the Colts’ new head coach, management scrambled to find a new head coach while the internet went in.

Screw an organization. Screw a bunch of assistant coaches who passed up other job opportunities to be a part of your staff… and now are out of jobs. Screw a #Colts fanbase that wanted to believe in you. THE PATRIOT WAY.

Needless to say the team, their fans and former members of the Colts were less than pleased with McDaniels’ decision as well.

What Josh McDaniels did to the Horseshoe today is despicable. He was and still is an unethical human being. The Colts will find a worthy head coach and we will beat the shit out of the Patriots. #Colts #McDaniels

A week later, the Colts announced they had found their man in Frank Reich, the long time former Buffalo Bills QB and, most recently, the offensive coordinator of the Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia Eagles. But the internet wasn’t done with the team yet, so the clowning began almost immediately after the team’s announcement.

But instead of shying away or completely ignoring the commentary, the Colts jumped right in and gave the fans what they wanted- confirmation and humor.
