"Greg Manusky is the latest piece in place in the Indianapolis Colts' coaching staff puzzle.

The long-time NFL assistant is the team's new defensive coordinator.

"The ink's dry on that,'' general manager Ryan Grigson said today during an interview at the JW Marriott.

Manusky, he added, has the flexibility of overseeing a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense.

"It's all part of the philosophy of not trying to fit a square peg into a round hole,'' Grigson said. "He lines right up with that. He's a football guy, passionate, fire in his eyes. If you sit with him for two seconds, you see he's an intense football guy."
