Report: Cardinals hire Derius Swinton II, who follows Jeff Rodgers again

The Arizona Cardinals have not announced anything officially about changes on their coaching staff, but it appears they we now know who one of the new faces of the staff will be.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Cardinals are hiring Derius Swinton II to be their assistant special teams coach under special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Jeff Rodgers.

He replaces Randall McCray, reportedly fired after the season ended.

Rodgers has worked with Swinton before. Swinton was his assistant special teams coach in 2013-2014 with the Denver Broncos and again in 2015 and 2017 with the Chicago Bears. Swinton was the special teams coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. Basically, Swinton has followed Rodgers were he has been.

Swinton was an offensive assistant in 2018 for the Detroit Lions.

There are at least five vacancies to fill this offseason.
