The Indianapolis Colts are expected to interview Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero for the head coach vacancy Thursday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The Colts confirmed Wednesday that they held an in-house interview with special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone so Evero’s interview will be the second that we know about.

Though Evero doesn’t have a ton of experience, he’s a worthy candidate after showing what he could do on the defensive side of the ball. What was even more impressive was his ability to keep the defensive players engaged and passionate despite the failures of the Broncos offense.
Specializing at the defensive back positions, Evero has held plenty of assistant roles throughout his coaching career. Recently, he spent four seasons working as the safeties coach for the Los Angeles Rams (2017-2020) as well as the secondary coach and passing game coordinator (2021).
The head coaching search will be led by general manager Chris Ballard, but the decision ultimately resides with owner Jim Irsay.
