The Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t the only team in the AFC South dealing with some notable staffing changes as the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and eventually, the Houston Texans will be adding new coaches. In the Colts’ case, a former Jags assistant will be joining the mix as former quarterbacks coach Scott Milanovich is joining his friend Frank Reich in Indianapolis.
The Colts have landed Scott Milanovich for the opening on their offensive staff, a source says.
Milanovich has a long relationship with Frank Reich and worked extensively with Marcus Brady in Toronto. Also served as the Jaguars QBs coach

While his role on the staff hasn’t been announced, it’s believed that Milanovich will be the Colts’ quarterbacks coach as he was for Jacksonville.
Milanovich, 48, is coming off a 2020 season where he was expected to be the head coach of the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Football Team. However, with the coronavirus pandemic taking place, the CFL canceled their season, and Milanovich resigned to find NFL opportunities.
Before to 2020, Milanovich was on the Jags’ staff under Doug Marrone from 2017-19. During his first year, Milanovich aided Blake Bortles to a run where he registered 3,687 passing yards and a completion rate of 60.2%, which was good enough to get Bortles in the playoffs and an eventual extension. He also aided Gardner Minshew II to a good rookie campaign where he registered 3,271 passing yards and 21 touchdowns with a 60.6% completion rate. Minshew also won Pepsi Rookie of the Week seven times under the coaching of Milanovich.
Milanovich joins the Colts as their former quarterbacks coach, Marcus Brady, was promoted to their offensive coordinator vacancy. Brady earned a raise after Nick Sirianni left the offensive coordinator role vacant due to becoming the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach.
