Ben Standing is with us every Monday and Friday and sometimes in between. Follow him on X at Ben

Standig. Read his substack column. He covers the team very well. It's called Last Man Standing, same

name of his podcast. So where are we on Brian Flores or anybody else as it relates to the defensive

coordinator slot that is still available?

Yeah, I don't know that we're anywhere quite yet. Obviously, I think a lot's going to depend

on how quickly these head coaching situations get resolved. We believe John Harbaugh is going to the Giants. They haven't announced it yet. And then, you know, a lot of things can flow from there. There are teams, I'm sure, waiting to speak with people who are still in the playoffs. Obviously, half of those teams will be eliminated by this weekend. So that could clear things up. And, you know, like brian floris is he going to get a head coaching job i mean i i would probably doubt it but he has had interviews and he could be in the mix and same thing with the jim shorts in cleveland and so until those until the head coaching situations get resolved i don't know that we're going to have too much momentum here

on the defensive coordinator hire.

I mean, look, it's possible they could just, you know, somebody else who's available right now,

they could just say, sure, let's go, who maybe has no impact on anything else.

But for the most part, I think all these things are tied in right now.

Who's in play right now?

I mean, we know that Patrick Graham and Joe Cullen and Brian Flores and Jonathan Gannon,

has the Gannon interview taken place yet?

That was yesterday.

Okay.

They also met with Carl Scott, who was, I think, the DB coach for Seattle.

I think he's also the passing game coordinator there.

So, yeah, they've met with those people, as far as we know.

And, you know, I think to me, the Jeff Ulbreck, the defensive coordinator for Atlanta,

who Quinn worked with when he was in Atlanta and Rahim Morris, obviously the former, you know, box head coach who was just like go, who also works with Quinn.

To me, I just still think that with all the change happening on offense, you know, new coordinator, somebody who has never done that job before.

I have to imagine that Dan Coyne is going to spend more time helping the offense this year or just making sure it's all running smoothly.
