They can't force teams with new coaches, but they can volunteer.

Can’t be forced to, but it would be some nice positive publicity

Only 28 more days until the legal tampering period begins and 30 days until free agency starts.

Apparently he was with the Giants the last 2 years and was fired.... doesn't sound like an in demand candidate.

The OL coach hire leaves a lot to be desired!

It absolutely makes no sense. Quinn went against this unit 2x's a year and dominated them. And as my son, the Giant's fan, says; they had a high round draft pick that made zero progress and actually regressed under his coaching.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

This looks better...

[quote]Tom Pelissero

Former #Raiders and #Seahawks defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. is joining the #Commanders as their linebackers coach, per sources.

A former All-Pro LB, Norton most recently coached the position at UCLA. Now he reunites with former Seattle colleague Dan Quinn in Washington.[/quote]

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

Defensively the coaching staff is looking good, but on offense it is a bit of a head scratcher to say the least, obviously Quinn is tapping into his network of defensive coaches but what sort of offensive network does Kingsbury have?

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

Always liked Ken Norton. He was such a scrappy tough player.
