Desai is a Vic Fangio protégé, which seems to be the best thing you can be right now. Fangio underlings to go onto defensive coordinator gigs elsewhere include Brandon Staley (who has upgraded to head coach with the Chargers), Renaldo Hill (who was the Broncos’ DBs Coach last year), and now Desai. It’s like the Sean McVay coaching tree. But on the other side of the ball. And with a coach who has more salt-and-pepper in his hair. This isn’t to say it’s gonna work because Desai worked for Fangio. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Fangio’s guys are fast risers.
