H.I.T.S. and loafs: How Colts coordinator Matt Eberflus motivates his defense

INDIANAPOLIS -- If Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich was going to lose anybody off his staff to be a head coach this offseason, the thought was it would be defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, not offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni.

Sirianni is now the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Eberflus remains with the Colts.

Eberflus, who interviewed for the Houston Texans job, staying in Indianapolis is a good thing for the organization because he’s brought an aggressive, fast and play-through-the-whistle approach. It has helped transformed a defense that struggled for many years when Chuck Pagano coached the Colts.
