Looks like #Colts will have a new defensive line coach in 2025.

Edge group has too often been a disappointment in the pass rush game.

Which extends before Partridge arrived two years ago.

Sources: Notre Dame is set to hire Indianapolis Colts defensive line coach Charlie Partridge for the same role. An accomplished college assistant and former FAU head coach, Partridge was at Pitt from 2017-2023. Worked with ND coordinator Chris Ash at Wisconsin, Arkansas, Drake.

Good news

We get better by subtraction!

As long as we don’t lose Sparano or Anarumo we’ll be fine.

Like the first day of Christmas

Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is set to interview for an open head coaching position after the season ends

Man I don’t wanna lose Lou

I will chip in to the coaches pay fund for whatever team wants to take him!

Why do people think he did anything good, maybe one notch above the stiff that was Gus, but we needed to be 3 fucking notches better. Our inability to get pressure in key moments, to generate TO's, to get off the field- terrible down the stretch of the season, just fucking terrible.

Why have Colts fans, die hard Colts fans, become so comfortable with fucking mediocrity?

It’s not his fault our offense couldn’t score more than 20 points

His resume speaks for itself and if rather have the guy that’s more aggressive, and good players wanna come play for him to me that’s a positive as well

He was ass last year in Cincy, that defense was one of the worst in history. He fucking played soft shell bullshit at the end of the Seattle game, gifting them the FG to win it.

He kept putting Kwitty Paye out there to give tackles on the other team performance bonuses for never letting the QB be touched by their man.

Who the fuck knows what the deal is with JJ, he seemed to play some reasonably good downs for us in the past, the guys he was playing in his spot certainly weren't doing that.

I get that we were injured in the backfield and thus we couldn't play this aggressive get after it scheme we allegedly were going to, but fuck man, when we were reasonably healthy, we didn't look like some power house beat your ass defense, we looked like a modest upgrade from Gus' potentially worst scheme in history.

If we lose Lou, and the Titans hire a guy who wants his own DC, I would take Dennard Wilson.

Also, Lou doesn't coach the D-line. He tells the D-line coach what he needs from the D-line. Obviously, he wasn't getting what he needed.

Uhh, the Bengals went from 24th in total defense last season to dead last this year. So they actually got significantly worse when Lou left.

Meanwhile, the Colts got much better from last season, especially in run defense.

Lou is not the problem. Give him a better pass rush and a few healthy corners and he’ll he just fine.

Surprised Lou would be up for head coaching jobs since our D in the 2nd half was less than stellar this year (although injuries certainly played a big role in that). With that being said I hope we don't lose him.

Guessing the FO let Partridge know he'd be let go after the season since he's taking the same role at ND. Probably a good thing since as we've all discussed the DL has regressed his he came on board.

Anarumo was the reason Ballard went bananas on the secondary this year. It's what drives his defense.

Bynum, Ward, Walley, Howard, Blackmon (maybe) and Gardner were all atypical acquisitions. Anarumo wants a different type than Eberflus or Bradley did, and he needs the secondary to be the focus.

Our safeties stayed solid all year, but our CBs never got started, let alone got in a rythym and gelled throughout the season. Hopefully he returns and the injury bug doesn't force us into our 6th, 7th, and 8th option at CB vs some of the stronger teams in the league.

The Titans have officially started to request interviews with candidates...this list is just their start because they are expected to interview 10 - 15 people in total for the job.

Add the Giants to the official interview list.

This interview was always expected due to Lou's many ties to the club.

🚨 🚨 🚨

The #Ravens and long-time decorated head coach John Harbaugh are parting ways after days of discussion, per The Insiders.

Major decision in Baltimore.

Makes me feel like the rumors about him and Lamar having issues were true

So I've been scanning the coaching rosters of the teams that have fired their HC, and haven't noticed a D-Line coach that impresses me much.

What say you? I don't want another college coach either.

So the Ravens news got me thinking - what if John Harbaugh sits out a year ala Sean Peyton, and next year we stink it up again and Steichen gets canned...would you want Harbaugh?

For us?

Supposedly the owner wanted him to fire / shake-up his coaching staff including getting rid of the Offensive Coordinator and Harbaugh wasn't interested in making those changes.

Yes

For what position? DL coach?

Of course I’d love Harbaugh but why would he come to Indy?

He will have his pick of jobs. From what I’ve heard, even a team that still has a coach has called about him.

He will have a LOT of better options than Indy.

Yes, DL coach

The Eagles have requested an interview with OC Jim Bob Cooter.

Technically it would be for a lateral move in job title...but the Eagles job would offer more responsibility because the OC there has been calling the plays since midway through Sirianni's first season.

Hairball to the Giants!

Atlanta finds their next sacrificial goat in Kevin Stefanski.

Bills fire McDermott not sure they will find it easy to replace him tho

I wonder if Harbaugh is having buyer's remorse about now. On the positive side, this opening likely hurts the Titans, as a good HC will go to Buffalo, and McDermott will take a good job, making the dominos fall in a way the Titans get left with a ham sandwich (Nagy) as HC.

Did the Colts grant permission?
