The Washington Redskins interviewed John Pagano on Thursday for their defensive coordinator job, Liz Clarke of the Washington Post reports.

Pagano spent the past five years as the San Diego Chargers' defensive coordinator and was their longest-tenured assistant after spending 15 years with the team.

The Redskins have scheduled and held a number of interviews for the position after letting Joe Barry go at the end of the season.

The Redskins finished the year 28th in total defense, prompting the need for new direction on that side of the ball.
