"With Chuck Pagano being hired as the Indianapolis Colts' new coach, the Ravens are now looking for their fourth defensive coordinator in five years. Linebackers coach and former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Dean Pees is the front-runner for the job, but there are other questions in the wake of Pagano's departure.
How will this affect safety Ed Reed's decision to retire or return?
Pagano and Reed are extremely tight and have been for a while. It was Pagano, then a secondary and special teams coach at the University of Miami, who recruited Reed to Coral Gables.
"He is like a dad, friend, brother," Reed said earlier this year. "When I shed tears, he sheds tears. He and I are truly family. He helped me grow up when I was at Miami. He helped with my mental preparation so much. He always got me thinking what could be the next play or what could be the next thing that the offense does. He always kept me thinking ahead … on the football field.""
