Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news:
Me and Ol Cooter have shared some brews and great times in the past…

Weird semi-parallel:
Steichen fired from Chargers in favor of Joe Lombardi taking over as OC in 2021
Jim Bob Cooter turned OC for Lions after Joe Lombardi was fired midseason as OC in 2015 https://t.co/l5DRJutyRz

Was very critical in the development of Trevor Lawrence this past season. Has also worked with Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford among others.
Great situation for a young QB to walk into in Indy now. https://t.co/faGk1zjDJV

Strong hire at OC for Shane Steichen. Now he just needs to get Roy Istvan signed on as OL coach and we are cooking

It's nice to have a coach in Jim Bob Cooter who has had extensive experience working with quarterbacks as well as calling plays as an offensive coordinator in his resume. A ton of young QB talent in the 2023 Draft.

Jim Bob Cooter goes from a role helping elevate the play of Trevor Lawrence to the #Colts OC position, where he will have to help mold the incoming rookie QB for Shane Stiechen's offense. https://t.co/YRZrHdJUPT

Jim Bob Cooter was also up for the Panthers OC job. He was on Eagles staff in 2021 as a consultant, so there's familiarity with new #Colts HC Shane Steichen. https://t.co/LDWsvW4Il7
