The Colts have found their next defensive coordinator.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that they are finalize an agreement to hire Lou Anarumo to run their defense. The Colts fired Gus Bradley after the end of the regular season.
That’s also when the Bengals fired Anarumo. He was hired by Cincinnati under head coach Zac Taylor in 2019 and helped the team advance to the Super Bowl following the 2021 season, but the Bengals’ defense has fallen on hard times in recent years.
The Colts are hoping the change of scenery will lead to a return to better results for Anarumo. If he fails to turn things around and the Colts fail to get a better record, there could be more widespread changes in Indianapolis this time next year.
