Colts name Manusky defensive coordinator
Football Betting Lines
02/02/2012 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Indianapolis Colts have hired Greg Manusky as defensive coordinator.
The Colts named Bruce Arians offensive coordinator earlier this week.
Manusky was the defensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers last year. He held the same position with the San Francisco 49ers from 2007-10.
This past season, San Diego's defense ranked 22nd in the league in points allowed (23.6) and 16th in yards allowed (346.6).
"I met with Greg yesterday and today with Coach (Pagano). I really feel good about him being a part of this," said general manager Ryan Grigson. "(He is) a great fit. He's versatile within the scheme, 3-4, 4-3. It's part of the philosophy of not trying to put a square peg into a round hole. He lines right up with that. He's a football guy, passionate, fire in his eyes. You know when you sit with him for two seconds he's an intense football coach. He's ready to come in here and do some great things with us."
Manusky started his coaching career as linebackers coach with the Washington Redskins in 2001, then joined San Diego in the same role from 2002-06.
The 45-year-old Manusky was a linebacker and a standout special teams performer during his 12-year playing career with Washington (1988-90), Minnesota (1991-93) and Kansas City (1994-99).
Also on Thursday, Grigson named Roy Anderson secondary/safeties coach and Marwan Maalouf special teams coach.
