Andrew Luck is bringing a familiar face to Stanford to create a small Colts reunion and fans likely can't help but smile about it

Andrew Luck has hired his former Colts head coach Frank Reich as the interim head coach at Stanford 

About a week after firing their head coach, Stanford and Andrew Luck are naming former Colts head coach Frank Reich as their interim head coach. Of course, the two know each other well from their time with the Colts. Reich was Luck's head coach for his final season in 2018, and the two became very close during that season. 

Reich is helping Luck and Stanford by allowing them to push off their full head coaching search until after the 2025 season. He will bring his history as a player and coach in the NFL to Stanford and help be a stable leader with the season around the corner. With Stanford making the choice to fire their coach so close to the season, getting someone like Reich in an interim role is probably the best-case scenario they could have asked for. According to NFL Network's Tom Pellissero, Reich doesn't plan to interview for the full-time job at Stanford, so this is a true interim role at this time. 

Colts fans will pay much closer attention to Stanford this upcoming season. We will see if this Colts reunion in California works out well for the Trees. It will also be interesting to see if Luck uses past relationships from his time playing for the Colts into his new role at Stanford. Just imagine T.Y. Hilton as a wide receivers coach, Jack Doyle as a tight ends coach, and Anthony Costanzo as an offensive line coach; the options are endless.
