Lou Anarumo ignoring head-coaching candidacy buzz amid strong showing in first season as Colts DC

Lou Anarumo, former Bengals defensive coordinator, has revitalized his career with the Indianapolis Colts after being fired last season. Anarumo, now the Colts' defensive coordinator, has led the team to a 9th-place ranking in points allowed per game, contributing to their surprising 8-3 record and first-place position in the AFC South. His success has reignited interest in him as a potential head coach candidate, particularly with the New York Giants, who recently fired Brian Daboll. The Giants' general manager, Joe Schoen, familiar with Anarumo from their time together in Miami, may consider him for the vacant coaching position. Anarumo remains focused on the Colts' upcoming game against the Houston Texans, but his name is expected to be prominent in the upcoming coaching hiring cycle.
