The Redskins have finally begun to replace some of the departed members of their coaching staff. After seeing a couple defensive coaches take other openings while special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica went to the Falcons, the team has started to fill the vacancies. The team first brought in Nate Kaczor to serve as the team’s special teams coordinator. And more recently, they hired Ray Horton to serve as their defensive backs coach.
Horton was an interesting hire for the team, and he has a decent resume in terms of developing defensive backs. However, the team also reportedly gave consideration to a Redskins legend for the position.
