Colts To Hire Ravens' Ted Monachino As New Defensive Coordinator

The Indianapolis Colts fired defensive coordinator Greg Manusky on Tuesday and they already have a new defensive coordinator. 

Harbaugh said that Ted Monachino will be the defensive coordinator of the Colts.

Monachino has been the Ravens' linebackers coach since 2010. This is his first coordinator job in the NFL. He worked with Colts head coach Chuck Pagano in Baltimore. 

Monachino has also coached with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was a defensive line coach from 2006 to 2010. His other notable stints include Boise State and Arizona State. 

The move to hire Monachino isn't a total surprise. The Colts' and Ravens' schemes are not that different and there were reports two days ago that Monachino would be a strong candidate for the job.
