No surprise here. Nichols was owed a 220k signing bonus tomorrow. The team had previously given Nichols permission to speak to other teams. Doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t end up back with #Argos. @CFLonTSNhttps://t.co/LH0gllR3Q5

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 Joel A. Erickson (@JoelAErickson) January 26, 2021
“Milanovich was a former NFL quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1996-99) and also played for NFL Europe’s Berlin Thunder (2000), the XFL’s Los Angeles Xtreme (2001), the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm (2002), and the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders (2003).
Milanovich, who turned 48 on Monday, is expected to become the quarterback coach with the Indianapolis Colts. That position became vacant after Marcus Brady who served as the Montreal Alouettes receivers coach from 2009-11 when Milanovich was the offensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach on Marc Trestman s staff was promoted to offensive co-ordinator on Monday.

Scott was transparent throughout the process, Sunderland said in a telephone interview. When Marcus Brady was in the mix for a promotion starting last Thursday and Friday, Scott called me and we had some candid discussions about what the potential may be.
