"However, he is also a former close confidant of Quinn's from their time together with the Dallas Cowboys. Harris is a fantastic coach who is expected to be a coordinator one day. His reputation only enhanced with the Bears this season, masterminding a secondary that created the league's most takeaways. The Commanders would benefit greatly from his presence, and the previously established relationship with Quinn would make the transition to a different environment seamless."
"However, the Commanders are not the only ones interested in Harris. ESPN's Adam Schefter confirmed that he'd also interviewed with the Green Bay Packers about their defensive coordinator vacancy after Jeff Hafley got the Miami Dolphins' head-coaching gig. They have far superior defensive personnel than Washington. This would also strike a blow within the NFC North, only sweetening the pot."
The Washington Commanders interviewed Brian Flores for defensive coordinator but fans doubted he would accept the role. Flores remains awaiting results from head-coach interviews with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens and will return to the Minnesota Vikings if he does not secure a promotion under his Vikings contract extension. The Commanders quickly moved to interview Al Harris, Chicago Bears defensive backs coach and former Quinn confidant, as a potential replacement for Joe Whitt Jr. Harris led a Bears secondary with the league's most takeaways and also interviewed with the Green Bay Packers.
