Trending News & Rumors for Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer & MoreChicago Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano has decided to retire, sources told Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.Pagano has coached 18 seasons in the NFL, including a six-year stint as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. He finished his time in Indianapolis with a 53-43 record (3-3 in the playoffs) after the team fired him following the 2017 season.The 60-year-old missed 12 games of his first season with the Colts after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Bruce Arians served as interim head coach for the majority of that campaign, with Pagano returning in Week 17 after his cancer went into remission.Pagano earned the top job with the Colts after leading the Baltimore Ravens' defense for one season in 2011 following three years as Baltimore's secondary coach.
