Commanders' dream defensive coordinator hire suddenly on shaky ground

The Washington Commanders are still searching for their next defensive coordinator. Dan Quinn has been meticulous, waiting for the right candidate rather than promoting in-house. He also reportedly wants someone with proven experience as a play-caller.

There are several candidates who've been interviewed or are rumored to be in contention for the job. But the Commanders' path to one highly touted option just got a lot more difficult.

It didn't take long for speculation to rise about Raheem Morris as a strong defensive coordinator possibility for the Commanders after he was fired as the Atlanta Falcons head coach.
