The Indianapolis Colts are set to bring in former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh to the coaching staff and now we know what role he will hold.
Groh will be joining the staff led by head coach Frank Reich as the wide receivers coach, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The current wide receivers coach, Kevin Patullo, is expected to stay on the staff in a different role that is unknown at the moment.

Groh has extensive experience working with wide receivers. He was the wide receivers coach at Virginia (2001–2003), Alabama (2011–2012) and then with the Chicago Bears (2013–2015), Los Angeles Rams (2016) and the Eagles (2017).
When Reich was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles, Groh was the wide receivers coach. He replaced Reich when the latter took the head coaching job with the Colts in 2018.
The Colts still need to find a defensive line coach, but that hasn’t stopped them from shaking up the offensive coaching staff.
