Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has agreed to become the Chicago Bears defensive coordinator:

The 58-year-old was the Colts head coach from 2012 through 2017 and amassed a 53-43 record.
His first year was eventful to say the least, as he missed 12 games while he had leukemia. The Colts rallied behind their coach, though, and improved from 2-14 to 11-5 and a divisional-round appearance.
Pagano led Indy to three straight postseasons and 11-5 records in his first three years, culminating in a 2014 AFC Championship Game berth against the New England Patriots.
