Report: Falcons, Colts to interview 'Wink' Martindale for DC job
Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale reacts to a play against Oregon during the second half at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024. Former NFL defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale soon could be making his return to the league.
NFL Network reported that Martindale will interview for the defensive coordinator positions with the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
Martindale accepted the defensive coordinator position at Michigan after parting ways with the New York Giants following the 2023 season.
Martindale, 61, previously served as the defensive coordinator in Baltimore from 2018-21 and in Denver (2010).
The Falcons are looking to fill the position previously held by Jimmy Lake, who was fired on Saturday after one season with the team.
The Colts fired Gus Bradley as their defensive coordinator on Jan. 6 after his third season with the team.
