Sean Desai come on down:

#Seahawks associate head coach Sean Desai has emerged as a strong candidate for the Eagles DC job, with people with Seattle and other candidates for the Philly job bracing for Desai to get it, sources told @DanGrazianoESPN and me. Philly still going through process, with nothing…

Desai is a disciple of the Vic Fangio cloth who believes in getting to the QB through the defensive line, two high safety, and zone schemes. He obviously doesn’t know what he’s signing up for. The Buddy Ryan uncles calling for him to blitz more, guys that never played past JV scrutinizing his soft zone on third and short, and the local radio station calling for his head when the team loses their first game and falls to 8-1. Seems like they’re just waiting to hammer out the details.

UPDATE – Yea it’s a done deal:

Pete Carroll confirmed in off podium session with Seattle reporters that Sean Desai is leaving for Philadelphia.
