The Indianapolis Colts search for a new defensive coordinator has officially come to an end. The team is hiring former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.

I don't blame the skepticism due to the Colts' lack of offseason aggressiveness. But I would be shocked if the Colts made this commitment to make a drastic change to their defensive philosophy without being willing to change their current personnel to make it work.
