Daily Slop - 10 Feb 24: Commanders new ST Coordinator, Izzo, had top-8 unit each of the past 3 years in Seattle

One day after adding former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson to a prominent role and hiring Jason Simmons as defensive pass-game coordinator, Quinn has found his special teams coordinator.

Per Ben Standig of The Athletic, the Commanders are hiring Seattle Seahawks special teams coordinator Larry Izzo.

Izzo, 49, enjoyed a 14-year NFL career that ended in 2009. A linebacker, Izzo made his mark on special teams, earning three trips to the Pro Bowl and was named first-team All-Pro in 2004. He also has three Super Bowl rings from his time with the New England Patriots.

After retirement, Izzo started coaching in 2011 as an assistant special teams coach with the New York Giants.
