Pro Football Rumors
Highly regarded in his Bengals DC post heading into this season, Lou Anarumo saw his pieces unravel during a disastrous slate for the unit. As a result, a firing took place. But the veteran defensive leader might not be out of work long.
One of the other teams with an early DC vacancy has contacted him. The Colts want to meet with Anarumo to replace Gus Bradley, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero tweets. The Colts also have Steve Wilks on their radar. Both candidates will be among those expected to interview, with the meetings on tap for next week.
The Colts booted Bradley after three seasons; Anarumo lasted six in that chair with the Bengals. The former Giants assistant had interviewed for multiple HC jobs during his time in Cincinnati, meeting with the Cardinals in 2023 and Giants in 2022. Anarumo was not a popular HC candidate, however, as those were the only two known meetings to have taken place. But the veteran assistant proved valuable for the Bengals during their run of back-to-back AFC championship game appearances.
More to come.
