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 Indianapolis Colts are looking for a new defensive coordinator, as the team announced they parted ways with Gus Bradley after three seasons in the role.

IndyStar insiders Joel A. Erickson and Nate Atkins break down the team’s defensive coordinator search, the shift towards a more aggressive, blitzing style of defense and the kind of cornerback upgrades the Colts are going to need to play that style.

The search continues for the Colts as they look to fill their defensive coordinator opening. Now 10 days in, what do we know at this time?

Michigan Defensive Coordinator Wink Martindale could bring his aggressive style to the Indianapolis Colts defense.

Dennis Allen was most recently the head coach in New Orleans after rebuilding that team's defense over several years.

The Indianapolis Colts have had a busy week of interviews as they search for their next defensive coordinator. The Colts have five confirmed candidates who have either already been interviewed or will do so by the end of the week.

Dennis Allen may not be a great head coach, but he is certainly a strong defensive coordinator option for the Colts.
