Falcons Interview Seahawks DC Aden Durde for Head-Coach Vacancy
The former Atlanta assistant is drawing interest following Seattle’s top-ranked defensive season.
Overview
- Atlanta disclosed the meeting on Sunday as part of its search to replace Raheem Morris.
- Cleveland interviewed Durde on Friday while evaluating candidates to succeed Kevin Stefanski.
- NFL rules limit access to assistants from playoff teams to a window that closes after the wild-card round, prompting swift scheduling.
- Durde has two seasons as a coordinator with no play-calling duties and previously spent four years on the Falcons’ staff under Dan Quinn.
- Speaking with Durde also helps meet Rooney Rule requirements, and Atlanta has interviewed Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
