The Commanders parted ways with Ron Rivera
after a 4-13 season in 2023.
The reported finalists in Washington are Detroit Lions defensive
coordinator Aaron Glenn, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator
Dan Quinn and Ravens associate head coach and defensive line
coach Anthony Weaver.
Macdonald also met with the Commanders before replacing Pete
Carroll in Seattle.
Two other candidates -- Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson
and Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik -- decided
to remain in their current roles.
The Commanders had second interviews with Weaver on Monday and
with Quinn and Glenn on Tuesday.
Glenn, 51, has been Detroit's defensive coordinator since 2021
after coaching defensive backs with the Cleveland Browns
(2014-15) and New Orleans Saints (2016-20). He was a three-time
Pro Bowl cornerback during a 15-year NFL playing career
(1994-2008).
Quinn, 53, was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons from
2015-20, compiling a 43-42 record before being fired after an
0-5 start in 2020. His Falcons blew a 28-3 lead to the New
England Patriots in Super Bowl LI. He completed his third season
as the DC in Dallas in 2023.
Weaver, 43, joined the Ravens' coaching staff in 2021. He was
the Houston Texans' defensive coordinator in 2020 and has also
coached defensive lines for the Texans, Browns, Buffalo Bills
and New York Jets since 2012.
