Greg Manusky

Gregory Manusky (born August 12, 1966) is an American professional football coach and former linebacker. Manusky started his coaching career as a linebacker coach for two teams over six seasons. From there, he transitioned to a defensive coordinator for four teams over 12 seasons, totaling 19 seasons as a defensive coach. Prior to coaching, Manusky played as a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for three teams over 12 seasons.

Manusky played college football at Colgate University and high school football at Dallas High School.

Manusky signed with the Washington Redskins and remained with them from 1988 to 1990 under Joe Gibbs. After two seasons with the Washington Redskins, Manusky played with the Minnesota Vikings from 1991 to 1993 under Dennis Green. During his time with Minnesota, he was selected to the all-Madden Team in 1991. After two seasons with Minnesota, Manusky finished out his playing career with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1994 to 1999. After ending a 12-year playing career in 1999, Manusky entered the coaching ranks in the National Football League.

After 12 years of playing linebacker for three different teams, including the Washington Redskins, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Kansas City Chiefs, Manusky began his coaching career as a volunteer training camp assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2000, assisting his former Vikings defensive coordinator Tony Dungy with linebackers and special teams. His first full-time coaching position was in 2001, as he was hired as linebackers coach for the Washington Redskins under Marty Schottenheimer, who Manusky played for during his time on the Chiefs.

Manusky followed Schottenheimer from Washington to the San Diego Chargers in 2002, as Schottenheimer, newly hired as the Chargers head coach, named Manusky linebackers coach. He remained in this position for five seasons. After the San Diego Chargers finished the 2006 season with a 14–2 record, Manusky accepted a defensive coordinator position with the San Francisco 49ers for the 2007 season.

Manusky spent four years as the San Francisco 49ers under 49ers head coach Mike Singletary. After the 2010 season, Singeltary was fired by the team. Former Stanford University head coach Jim Harbaugh replaced Singletary. Harbaugh gave Manusky permission to interview with other teams. Manusky ultimately accepted the defensive coordinator job with the Chargers, with whom he had previously worked as a linebackers coach.

Manusky spent a year as a defensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers. After an 8–8 season, the Chargers decided to part ways with Manusky. Subsequently, the Indianapolis Colts named him as their defensive coordinator for the 2012 season.

The Indianapolis Colts hired Manusky as their defensive coordinator on February 2, 2012. He spent four years under head coach Chuck Pagano. After four seasons, he was fired by the Colts on January 5, 2016.
