The Indianapolis Colts will hold a second head coach interview with Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, according to NFL Network.
Bisaccia is now one of six coaches to make it to the second round of interviews with the Colts. They have already conducted interviews with four of the finalists and have at least two more on the way with Bisaccia and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen.
There have been four reported candidates to make it to the second round of interviews. It’s a list that includes interim head coach Jeff Saturday, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
The first three interviews have been confirmed while Martindale was scheduled to hold his second interview over the weekend, but a date wasn’t specified.
After coaching in the college ranks from 1983-2001, Bisaccia made the jump to the NFL, getting his start as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers special teams coordinator for six seasons (2002-2007). He added duties of assistant head coach and running backs coach in 2008 before holding the role of assistant coach and special teams coordinator for two seasons (2009-2010).
Bisaccia then became the special teams coordinator for the San Diego Chargers (2011) and then added assistant head coach duties in 2012.
After his stint with the Chargers, Bisaccia was the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys (2013-2017) and then held the same role with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-2021).
After John Gruden was fired as the Raiders head coach, Bisaccia took over as the interim head coach, leading the team to a 7-5 record and a playoff berth. He was the first interim head coach to lead their team to a playoff berth since Bruce Arians did it with the Colts in 2012.
Bisaccia was then hired as the special teams coordinator for the Packers in 2022.
The process is still very much ongoing for the Colts but with the second round of interviews getting underway, we should get closer to a conclusion.
