The way things look, it is shaping up that the Colts will have their top choice when it comes to filling the defensive coordinator role.

Josh McDaniels is the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots once again. McDaniels has been hired by New England after interviewing with new head coach Mike Vrabel for the role on Tuesday.

Josh McDaniels is no stranger to Boston. In 2025, he'll make his third trip to the city, taking helm of the Patriots' offense.

Tony Dews was a running backs coach under Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans from 2018-2022, before taking over as the tight ends coach in 2023. He has been with the New York Jets ever since in a similar role, and he could return to the Patriots with Vrabel likely wanting people he has worked with to come aboard.

Aaron Glenn has filled an NFL coaching vacancy at the New York Jets, joining Ben Johnson at the Chicago Bears and Mike Vrabel at the New England Patriots. The Dallas Cowboys are among four teams still searching.

In the Colts search for a defensive coordinator, time has been on their side, but the competition from other teams is going to ramp up soon.

The Patriots requested to interview Chargers passing game coordinator Marcus Brady for their offensive coordinator position, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. New England hired Mike Vrabel as its new head coach after firing Jerod Mayo, and now he is looking to build his staff.
