NFL: Arians to head offense for Colts

New Indianapolis head coach Chuck Pagano began filling out his staff on Saturday, by hiring Bruce Arians as the Colts' new offensive coordinator.

The former Temple coach was actually the Colts' quarterbacks coach from 1998 to 2000, Peyton Manning's first three years in the NFL. The move is seen as preparation for the Colts' drafting of Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in April.

Arians had left the Pittsburgh Steelers by mutual consent on Jan. 5.

Bears hire GM

Chicago hired Kansas City Chiefs director of college scouting Phil Emery as its new general manager.

Emery was an area scout for the Bears from 1998 to 2004 and replaces Jerry Angelo, who was fired after the Bears completed an injury-riddled 8-8 season.

Broncos sign Del Rio

The Denver Broncos agreed to terms with Jack Del Rio to become the club's new defensive coordinator.

Del Rio was coach John Fox's first defensive coordinator in Carolina in 2002 before leaving after one year to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars, who fired him in November.

Del Rio replaced Dennis Allen, who left after one year in Denver to coach the Oakland Raiders. Del Rio is the Broncos' seventh defensive coordinator in seven seasons.
