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.
