The Washington Commanders moved swiftly after hearing that Brian Flores would be returning to the Minnesota Vikings if he didn't get a head-coaching job in this cycle. And the first call head coach Dan Quinn made was to Al Harris.
This came with a mixed reaction. His rise up the coaching ranks makes this a natural ascent into a coordinator role. Harris masterminded an exceptional turnaround in the Chicago Bears' secondary this offseason, following his sterling work with the Dallas Cowboys under Quinn. And having an already-developed trust with Washington's top man is only going to help.
