Baltimore Ravens defensive Coordinator Chuck Pagano has announced he will be the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
Pagano, 51, spent the 2011 season as the coordinator of the Ravens defense, after spending three seasons as the team’s secondary coach. He also has coached with the Browns and Raiders at the NFL level, and at various colleges, including the University of Miami, East Carolina, UNLV, Boise State, and USC.
The departure of Pagano leaves a huge hole in the Ravens defense. Leading in-house candidates to replace Pagano could be linebackers coach Dean Peas or defensive line coach Clarence Brooks.
The Colts will hold a press conference at 3 p.m. tomorrow to announce Chuck Pagano as their head coach.
