Seattle Seahawks' defensive coordinator Aden Durde has been officially linked to the open head coaching position with the Cleveland Browns. This is a great opportunity for Durde, one of the underappreciated architects of Seattle’s stifling defense. Even if he fails to land the job, taking his first official interview is a big step for a coach.
NFL head coaching jobs are scarce.
The first thing a coach like Durde must do is get his name out there. He needs to stop being anonymous and become one of those respected up-and-comers – the kind of coach that fans and the media – and especially NFL team owners – think of when there is an opening.
