Field Gulls
With the NFL Head Coaching Carousel in motion, the Seattle Seahawks’ coordinators are very popular. This popularity started with Klink Kubiak getting plenty of interest from around the league. However that popularity is seeping over to the defensive side as well with Defensive Coordinator, Aden Durde.
NFL reporter, Ian Rapoport announced that the Cleveland Browns are requesting permission to interview Durde for their vacant Head Coaching job. Despite the fact that Durde does not call defensive plays for Seattle, the pure dominance they have shown on that side of the ball clearly has left a mark with the rest of the NFL. Durde not only has helped the Seahawks finish the season first in points allowed, but he has also had his hand in the development of Seattle’s defensive line. This is seen in the jump in performance of players like Byron Murphy II and DeMarcus Lawrence this season. Speaking of Lawrence, it was Durde’s presence in Seattle that helped lure Lawrence to sign.
All in all, Durde, the England native, has gotten the attention of the NFL. The question remains if he will get more interviews after the Browns. Durde can start interviewing for head coaching jobs around the league before the Divisional Round begins.
