According to Ian Rapoport, the Raiders are interviewing former Bears DC Sean Desai for the same role on their staff.
He’s widely seen as a defensive coach on the rise after completing his first year calling plays in 2021.
Desai, 38, began his coaching career at Temple back in 2006 as a defensive and special teams coach. He later became the assistant director of football operations at the University of Miami.
After one year at Boston College, the Bears hired Desai as a quality control coach. He was later promoted to their safeties coach for the 2019 season and again to defensive coordinator in 2021.
In 2021, the Bears’ defense ranked No. 6 in fewest yards allowed, No. 22 in fewest points allowed, No. 23 in fewest rushing yards allowed and No. 3 in fewest passing yards allowed.
