The Tribune-Review reports today that the Steelers are anxious to get their secondary spot filled. They have a couple names on the list, which includes Chuck Cecil, who we talked about the other day.
• Chuck Cecil: Has reportedly interviewed with the Steelers, according to ESPN.com. Spent past two seasons as Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator. Also served as Tennessee’s secondary coach from ’07-08 and safeties and nickel backs coach from ’04-06. Fiery individual who played safety and was considered among the most vicious hitters in league history.
• Lionel Washington: Washington coached Oakland’s defensive backs the past two seasons. He was let go earlier this week when the Raiders hired Hall of Famer and former Steelers cornerback Rod Woodson. In his first NFL coaching stint, Washington was a nickel back/cornerbacks assistant with Green Bay from ’99-08 before being replaced by former Steelers assistant Darren Perry. Played defensive back for 15 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, Denver and Raiders twice.
• Donnie Henderson: One of Horton’s first moves as Arizona’s defensive coordinator was replacing Henderson and making longtime Cincinnati Bengals assistant Louie Cioffi his new secondary coach. Prior to the Cardinals, Henderson coached Jacksonville’s defensive backs in ’08 and had brief stints as a defensive coordinator with Detroit and the New York Jets.
