NFL Rumors: Latest HC Buzz on Dan Quinn, Raheem Morris, Commanders, Falcons and More

The NFL coaching market is starting to heat up as multiple teams continue to line up candidates for interviews this week.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is scheduled for an in-person interview with the Washington Commanders this week. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted that Quinn will also meet with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday and the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.

Also, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris is scheduling second in-person interviews with the Commanders, Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.

Morris has spent the last three seasons as defensive coordinator of the Rams, helping the team with Super Bowl LVI in his first year on the coaching staff in 2021. This season, the Los Angeles defense allowed 337.9 yards and 22.2 points per game as the team overcame a 3-6 start to the year to finish with a 10-7 record and clinch a spot in the playoffs, where it lost to the Detroit Lions in the NFC Wild Card Round.

In addition to his extensive experience as an assistant in the NFL, Morris also served as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009 to 2011 and interim head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. He has a career record of 21-38 as a head coach.

Quinn also has prior head coaching experience, putting together a 43-42 record when he was at the helm of the Falcons from 2015 to 2020. During his time in Dallas, he re-established himself as a coveted head coaching candidate.

Quinn led a Cowboys unit that ranked fifth this season with 299.7 yards allowed and 18.5 points allowed per game. Dallas had a plus-10 turnover differential, which tied for the third-best mark in the league.

With a slew of head coach openings still available, it will be interesting to see where Quinn, Morris and the other top candidates land when it's all said and done.
