There are a lot of teams that haven't met expectations thus far in the NFL season. One of which has already decided to part ways with their Head Coach.

It's been a disappointing stretch lately for the Colts, who were all in this season with veteran QB Matt Ryan. Ryan, who battled turnover issues throughout the beginning portion of the season, was benched two weeks ago in favor of Sam Ehlinger.

On top of Ryan's benching, the Colts have battled crucial injuries to star players from Shaquille Leonard to Jonathan Taylor.

Indy is 3-5-1 at present, and have hovered around mediocrity since Reich took the reigns in 2018.

The longtime NFL player and coach will finish his tenure in Indianapolis with a mark of 40-33-1, and a 1-2 record in the postseason.

Prior to his time as Head Coach in Indianapolis, Reich served as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

The Colts travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

Ten Most Disappointing Minnesota Sports Seasons

The 2021 Minnesota Twins entered the season with high expectations, but unfortunately, they've made the list of most disappointing Minnesota teams of all time.

Disappointment is a common feeling for Minnesota sports fans as the years continue. Following the NBA Championship win for Milwaukee, SportsCenter was quick to point out that Minnesota has the current longest streak of seasons without a championship appearance in the four major sports (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL). The Minnesota Lynx also chimed in on the stat after claiming four championships since 2011.

The ten teams that are on this list all follow a similar pattern. The year prior was either a great season with a playoff run or one that featured a strong core of players that appeared to have taken the next step. Offseason/preseason expectations were high with even Las Vegas oddsmakers believing in a deep run. Unfortunately, those preseason expectations fell short for the following teams. None of the teams listed below made the playoffs.
