It’s that time of the offseason where assistant coaches will be looking for promotions either within their own organization or with another team. The latter might be the case for Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks coach Marcus Brady.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote in the MMQB column Monday that Brady could be an offensive coordinator candidate for the Houston Texans if Leslie Frazier is hired as the new head coach.
I think Leslie Frazier has a real shot in Houston, and there’s an interesting offensive coordinator name attached to his candidacy: Colts quarterbacks coach Marcus Brady. Brady’s very well-regarded in Indy and has an interesting resume, with much of his professional career, both as a player and coach, spent in Canada.
Brady has been with the Colts for a few years now. He was the assistant quarterbacks coach in 2018, having a hand in the return of Andrew Luck and his strong campaign that season. Then he was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2019 and has held the role since.
Brady has been lauded in the organization for his work with the quarterback room and with head coach Frank Reich. Working with Luck, Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers and Jacob Eason, Brady can add that to his resume when looking for an external promotion.
None of this is official until we see what happens with the Texans. They could go another direction than Frazier, which means Brady would most likely stay put in Indy.
But this will still be a situation to watch for over the next week or so while the Texans look for their next head coach.
