Redskins to Interview Phillips

Thursday, Jan. 12

Redskins Meet with Bradley

Wednesday, Jan. 11

The Redskinsย announcedย they interviewed former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley for the defensive coordinator position.

Garafolo initially reported on Jan. 6 that Washington has interest in pursuingย Bradley for the position:

Although Bradley flamed out as a head coach, going just 14-48 in parts of four seasons with the Jags, Jacksonville did boast the NFL's No. 6 defense in terms of yardage allowed this season.

Bradley served as theย Seattle Seahawksย defensive coordinator from 2009 through 2012 and was key in their development into an elite defensive unit.

One potential stumbling block in the Redskins landing Bradley is a recent report from ESPN'sย Adam Schefterย that Bradley intends to followย Buffalo Billsย interim head coach Anthony Lynn should he land a permanent head coaching position.

Defense has been Washington's Achilles' heel over the past couple of seasons, as the offense led by quarterback Kirk Cousins has largely been tasked with carrying the team.

The Redskins have some big-time talent on that side of the ball in the form of cornerback Josh Norman and linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, and a defensive mind like Bradley may be precisely what they need in order to take the defense to the next level.

Pettine Interviews with Redskins

Monday, Jan. 9ย 

The Redskinsย announcedย they spoke with formerย Cleveland Brownsย head coach Mike Pettine regarding the open defensive coordinator position.

Per Keimย on Jan. 6, the Redskins fired Barry after two years on the job.

Washington ranked 28th in yardage allowed and 19th in points allowed in 2016, as it missed the playoffs due to a Week 17 loss to theย New York Giants.

Wilks to Speak with Redskins

Friday, Jan. 6ย 

Rapoportย reported the Redskins asked for and were granted permission to interviewย Carolina Panthersย assistant head coach and defensive backs coach Steve Wilks.
