Colts name Chuck Pagano head coach
The Colts are no longer searching for a head-coaching replacement for Jim Caldwell, who was fired last week. However, the Ravens are now searching for a defensive coordinator.
Chuck Pagano, who was defensive coordinator in Baltimore last year, will be the new head coach in Indianapolis. Before being promoted to defensive coordinator last year, Pagano was the Ravens secondary coach for the previous three seasons.
Last year, the Ravens ranked third in scoring defense (16.6 points allowed per game) and in total defense (288.9 yards allowed per game). The two-win Colts allowed 26.9 PPG and 370.9 YPG last year.
Earlier this month, Chuck's brother John was promoted to defensive coordinator in San Diego.
With the very uncertain future of quarterback Peyton Manning, who is due a $28 million bonus on March 8th, it's looking like the Colts will have a new general manager (Ryan Grigson), head coach (Pagano) and starting quarterback (Andrew Luck?) in 2012.
