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.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Falcons are hiring Jeff Ulbrich to be their next defensive coordinator. Ulbrich was previously the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets and took over as the interim head coach this season after Robert Saleh was fired.

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.

Wednesday was the final day for prospects to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, so another piece to the puzzle is now known. Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. was the last notable name to throw his name into the pool,

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.

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

The Colts are hiring former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to fill the same position in Indianapolis, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported.

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.

Speaking with reporters on Friday, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard admits he's "extremely disappointed" with the team's results in 2024.
