Our new DC

So who does Dan hire as new DC?

Raheem Morris just got fired. I can see him being Dan’s top candidate.

Re: Our new DC

I would like the Jets HC if he gets fired.

Doubt Glenn is gone, but likely starting year 2 on the hot seat. IF he is fired, yes, he'd be on my list of interviews as well as Morris.

Re: Our new DC

I’m watching Jim Schwartz in Cleveland. If he is fired with the rest of the coaching staff, he’s in my top list. I’d take him over Morris.

Whitt needs to go though

Re: Our new DC

Schwartz would be a good option

I see Dan going with someone he’s worked with before.

Re: Our new DC

Agree Schwartz would be intriguing. Despite everything else surrounding the Watson fiasco, their D has been consistently good.

Begs the question why hasn't Whitt been fired already? DQ might want to keep him on staff out of some kind of loyalty/familiarity motive, but he must realise that won't work on an NFL team, surely? If he's going to fire him, should have done it already, but at least fire him today.

Re: Our new DC

Gannon, the former Cardinals coach, is interviewing for the DC position. That would be a good move if it happens.

Re: Our new DC

I have a very hard time thinking Brian Flores is a possibility here

Too many open HC positions and Vikings want him back.

I would absolutely love him here, but think this has an extremely low chance of happening

Re: Our new DC

Yeah Flores coming here is slim to none.

I'm intrigued by Titans' DC Dennard Wilson - Titans don't have anyone on the D except for Simmons and yet they overachieved. There is a report that DQ is impressed by him during the interview, I'm not sure if the report is legit tho.

Re: Our new DC

A number of good/intriguing candidates out there -- Brian Flores (interviewed, apparently), Jim Schwartz, Jonathan Gannon (also interviewed), Al Harris, and Dennard Wilson. I will say, if I were one of these guys, I'd be unhappy with how bare our cupboard is, and want some real input to personnel (draft and FA).

Re: Our new DC

Jeff Ulbrich, Jim Schwartz or Brian Flores

This is who everyone wants. Hopefully we can grab one of these

at the current rate of hiring it will either be someone's son or a recent high school grad

Re: Our new DC

Think about it. At this point, Quinn is a lame duck coach coming into the 2026 season. His DC/OC both are jettisoned with the next stage being Quinn being fired. He's definitely on the hot seat now, and the clock is just ticking. I wouldn't want to come here if I were a decent DC.
