Caleb Downs to Cowboys at 12? Draft Steal?

0:00It's April 7. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Mike McDonald went from the youngest head coach in the league to Super Bowl champ with the Seattle Seahawks in just two years. His defensive crew has been key, especially coordinator Aiden Dirtay and defensive backs coach Carl Scott. NFL execs at the league meetings are already buzzing about them as head coaching prospects for 2027 and beyond. Dirt, who's 46, brings a unique vibe as the first potential British NFL headman. He started as an intern with the Dallas Cowboys, moved to the Atlanta Falcons, then followed Dan Quinn to Dallas as defensive line coach. When Quinn left for Washington, Dirtay jumped to Seattle as defensive coordinator under McDonald, turning heads with his execution on that fierce defense. League insiders see Dirt as work powering Seattle's top rank unit and if they hold number one again this year. He's prime for a big leap.

1:00Folks respect how he's risen through quality control roles to calling plays, making him a fresh face. Teams might chase for change. Then there's Carl Scott, whose coach defensive backs to start him in Seattle. He grinded through college stops like Delta State, Texas Tech, and three years under Nick Saban at Alabama before hitting the NFL with Minnesota. And now his fifth season with the Seahawks. These assistance shine bright thanks to McDonald's system, boosting Seattle's secondary into a strength. Dirt could snag a head job soon, paving the way for Scott as next defensive coordinator, keeping the Seahawks coaching pipeline hot as they defend. That title.
