The Indianapolis Colts have fired defensive coordinator Greg Manusky.

Manusky joined the Colts with Chuck Pagano in 2012.

"We've had a bunch of discussions, like I said, and we've got a lot of things like everybody else that's done playing," Chuck Pagano said. "There are teams obviously that are still in preparation (mode); the teams that made the playoffs, obviously. But everybody else is still in the evaluation mode now, and we're going to roll up our shirtsleeves and go to work. And, again, everything we do is based on two things: What's best for this team and what gives us the best chance to win."

The Colts' defense under Manusky and Pagano hasn't been solid during their three-year stint together. The unit improved from 2014, but still finished 27th in total yards per game (379.1) and 25th in points per game allowed (25.5) in 2015.
