Posted in The Washington Post reports that the team is keeping Kirk Olivadotti as a defensive assistant:
The Redskins have chosen to retain Kirk Olivadotti as a defensive assistant. Olivadotti was the team’s linebackers coach under Jim Zorn and was heavily credited for the quick development of Brian Orakpo. Olivadotti worked his way from quality control coach and is the longest-tenured member of the Redskins’ coaching staff (he joined the team in 2000). “K.O. has tremendous versatility and will be a tremendous help to our entire defensive staff, just as he has for the past 10 years here,” Shanahan said. “He has made a quick impression on me and I am happy to be able to keep him with our team.”
