The Indianapolis Colts are bringing in New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale for a second head coach interview.
Following the news that Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn pulled his name from the candidacy, the Colts quickly found a replacement from their initial list of coaches.
Martindale already interviewed once virtually so he’s among the finalists for the head coach vacancy. An exact date for the interview hasn’t been set, but Martindale is expected to do so this weekend.

Entering Friday, the Colts have held second interviews with interim head coach Jeff Saturday and Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. They are scheduled to interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris on Friday.
Martindale is an interesting choice as a finalist. He’s never been a head coach, but he’s highly regarded around the league for his defensive mind and leadership qualities.
