Tracking the Coaching and Front Office Updates for the Washington Commanders: Ben Johnson’s virtual interview for the head coaching position is scheduled for today.
Washington is actively searching for a new head coach and has been connected to eight potential candidates. With seven current head coaching vacancies in the NFL, teams are utilizing virtual meetings to interview coaches, and Washington has been expanding its list of candidates this week. Before the recent appointment, interviews were conducted with Ravens Associate Head Coach/Defensive Line Coach Anthony Weaver and Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. On Thursday, Washington interviewed Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn and Rams Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris, and a virtual interview with Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson is scheduled for Friday. In-person interviews are not permitted until January 22nd, delaying the official hiring of new coaches.
