The Indianapolis Colts announced the hiring of Lou Anarumo as their new defensive coordinator on Tuesday.
Anarumo, 58, held the same post the past six seasons in Cincinnati before the Bengals fired him on Jan. 6.
The Colts parted ways with defensive coordinator Gus Bradley the same day after three seasons on the job.
“I’m thrilled to add Lou Anarumo as our defensive coordinator,” Colts coach Shane Steichen said. “With many years of coaching experience, Lou is a proven leader who will demand the best out of our players. His strategic mindset and unique scheme will be invaluable as we build a fast and disciplined defensive unit.”
Indianapolis (8-9) ranked 24th in scoring defense (25.1 points per game) and 29th in total defense (361.2 yards per game) this season.
Cincinnati (9-8) finished 25th in both scoring defense (25.5) and total defense (348.3).
Anarumo arrives with 36 years of coaching experience, including the last 13 seasons in the NFL.
Before joining the Bengals in 2019, he coached defensive backs for the New York Giants (2018) and Miami Dolphins (2012-17). He was the Dolphins’ interim DC for part of the 2015 season.
