According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, new Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has tapped Charlie Williams as his new receivers coach. Williams was part of Dungy's original staff in Tampa Bay back in 1996, when Herm Edwards, Rod Marinelli, and Lovie Smith were also assistants under Dungy.
Williams' connection to Pagano is through Butch Davis, the former head head coach for the Cleveland Browns, U. of Miami Hurricanes, and North Carolina Tar Heels. Interestingly, Davis' coaching tree has been blossoming of late. Pagano worked with Davis in Miami and Cleveland, and newly hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano also worked with Davis at Miami. In fact, Schiano recently hired Davis to be a 'Senior Defensive Assistant' with the Bucs.
With Williams hired, the Colts offensive staff is complete. Bruce Arians is the offensive coordinator with Christensen as QB coach, Williams as WR coach, Alfredo Roberts as the TE coach, and Harold Goodwin as the offensive line coach. They are also retaining David Walker as the runnngbacks coach.
On defense, Greg Manusky is the new defensive coordinator while Roy Anderson is the safeties coach. A linebackers coach and a defensive line coach have yet to be hired.
Marwan Maalouf is the new special teams coordinator.
