It appears that the Washington Redskins may be interested in bringing in a member of the Rex Ryan coaching tree to take control of their defense. After interviewing Mike Pettine and Rob Ryan earlier in the offseason, the team elected to bring in Dennis Thurman for an interview on Thursday, per Mike Jones of the Washington Post. Thurman has long been an assistant for Rex’s coaching staffs, and he had serve as the defensive coordinator for his teams in each of the last four seasons.
Thurman was a former defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys who played nine years in the NFL.
