Thread: Bears hire Pagano as defensive coordinator

The Bears worked quickly to replace Vic Fangio, announcing Friday night that they have hired Chuck Pagano as their new defensive coordinator.

Pagano, 58, recently spent six seasons as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-17, compiling a record of 53-43 in the regular season and 3-3 in the playoffs. He led the Colts to three straight playoff appearances from 2012-14, including AFC South Division titles in 2013 and 2014, and an appearance in the 2014 AFC Championship Game.

Pagano spent the 2018 season working as an NFL consultant. He replaces Vic Fangio, who was hired as head coach of the Denver Broncos on Thursday.
