"That's what the Commanders would be getting in Graham, whose profile across tenures with the Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, and the Raiders is underwhelming to say the least. In his seven seasons, Graham's defenses have ranked 23rd or worse in points allowed five times. They've ranked in the top half of the league in takeaways only twice. And most concerningly, his teams have gone a combined 36-81, never finishing above .500."
"Of course, he is just one of many names being floated for the position. The Commanders should conduct a thorough search of anybody they have reason to believe will be available, and they likely will. They're competing against at least seven teams with head coach openings who, by extension, will need to fill the rest of their staff, and several more with defensive coordinator vacancies. They know they might need multiple backup plans."
The Washington Commanders have begun searches for both offensive and defensive coordinators and requested to interview Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Dan Quinn might ideally target a proven defensive mind with prior head-coaching experience, such as Raheem Morris, but Graham is a reported candidate. In seven seasons, Graham's defenses ranked 23rd or worse in points allowed five times, finished in the league's top half for takeaways only twice, and his teams combined for a 36-81 record without a winning season. Some of Graham's staffs featured poor rosters, and the Commanders face competition from multiple teams for available coaches.
