The Las Vegas Raiders are scheduled to interview Seattle Seahawks safeties coach Jeff Howard for their vacant defensive coordinator position this Saturday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jeff Howard emerges as a key candidate with deep ties to the Raiders' new leadership. Howard has previously worked closely with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak during their shared tenures with both the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks. His experience in Seattle has been highly regarded, where he served as a valued assistant for the organization.
The move to interview Howard suggests that Klint Kubiak is looking to establish continuity within his inaugural coaching staff by bringing in a familiar face from his previous stops. Howard's background in the Seahawks' defensive system and his established rapport with Kubiak make him a significant figure in the Raiders' search to lead their defensive unit for the upcoming season.
