According to Ian Rapoport, the Cardinals have requested an interview with Rams assistant HC/defensive pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant for their defensive coordinator job.
Pleasant worked with new Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur the past few years. His area of focus was primarily the secondary.
He’s the second reported candidate for Arizona’s defensive coordinator vacancy.
Pleasant, 38, took his first college coaching job in 2012 with Michigan as their assistant DB coach. From there, he worked for the Browns and Washington before joining the Rams in 2017.
Pleasant has coached both sides of the ball and eventually settled in as the Rams’ CBs coach. Pleasant eventually landed with the Lions in 2021 as their defensive back coach and passing game coordinator but was fired in 2022.
From there, Pleasant finished out the remainder of the 2022 season as a consultant for Green Bay before rejoining the Rams in a new capacity. He was given the assistant head coach title last offseason.
