Here are three things to know about Colts new TEs coach tom Manning.

A Manning is coming back to the Indianapolis Colts, just not the one that everyone associates with the franchise.

The Indianapolis Colts have already introduced Shane Steichen as the new head coach, and he’ll be working quickly to fill out the coordinator and assistant roles on the staff.

While we’ve learned of a few reported hires, such as offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, there will be decisions to be made in all three phases. There’s a chance that defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone are retained, but that hasn’t been confirmed.

We will keep you up to date with the latest news in the coaching hires along Steichen’s staff, but it should be noted that nothing is official until the team announces it as so.

Here are the latest updates in the Colts’ coach staff hires:

Colts hiring Tom Manning to coaching staff

The Colts are expected to hire Tom Manning to the coaching staff under Shane Steichen.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to hire former tight ends coach and Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Manning to the coaching staff under new head coach Shane Steichen.

Manning had a brief stint with the Colts in 2018 as the tight ends coach in which he helped Eric Ebron set a career-high with 13 receiving touchdowns.

The news was first reported by Bearcat Journal and confirmed by Justin Williams of The Athletic.

Manning, 39, spent only that season in the NFL as a coach. After his stint with Indy, he went back to the college ranks to be the offensive coordinator/running backs coach for Iowa State. He remained the offensive coordinator for four seasons (2019-2022) while also serving as the tight ends coach (2021).

Manning was announced as the next offensive coordinator for the Bearcats in January, but he’s now expected to be the tight ends coach for the Colts. However, a specific position has not been reported yet.

The Colts have yet to announce an offensive coordinator under Steichen, though they put in requests to interview Jim Bob Cooter and Tee Martin. They also reportedly hired former New York Giants running backs coach DeAndre Smith, likely for the same role.
