Shane Steichen has made an addition to the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> coaching staff.<\/p>\n

According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports<\/a>, the Colts<\/a> are “expected” to hire Arkansas Marion Hobby as their next defensive line coach.<\/p>\n

This job on the Colts coaching staff was open after Charlie Partridge left<\/a> to join Notre Dame as their defensive line coach.<\/p>\n

Hobby has only been with Arkansas since December. He spent the 2025 college season as a defensive analyst at Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Hobby has plenty of coaching experience in the NFL and has worked under current Colts’ defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. From 2021-2024, Hobby was the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>‘ defensive line coach, which of note, is another connection the Colts now have to top free agent pass rusher Trey Hendrickson.<\/a><\/p>\n

Before joining the Bengals coaching staff, Hobby was the Miami Dolphins defensive line coach for two seasons (2019-2020) and the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>‘ defensive line coach for two seasons before that (2017-2018).<\/p>\n

Hobby first started coaching the defensive line back in 1999 at Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

The Colts’ run defense held up well last season, even with DeForest Buckner for much of the second half. But this unit needs more consistent pass rush production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 12, 2026, 8:29 a.m. ET Shane Steichen has made an addition to the Indianapolis Colts coaching staff.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":749030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,95913,98100,95903,95936,96098,95896,95888,95895,95906,96099,95884,95883,95911,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-749029","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagcincinnati-bengals","19":"tag-tagdeforest-buckner","20":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","21":"tag-tagjacksonville-jaguars","22":"tag-tagmississippi-rebels","23":"tag-tagnational-sports","24":"tag-tagnfl","25":"tag-tagnfl-hub","26":"tag-tagoverall-positive","27":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","28":"tag-tagsports-coaching-training","29":"tag-tagsports-news","30":"tag-tagtrey-hendrickson","31":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=749029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/749030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=749029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=749029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=749029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
