Of all the people tuned into Sunday’s conference championship games, few will be more interested than the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks — the last two NFL teams with current head-coaching vacancies.
The Commanders and Seahawks are eyeing coaches on Sunday’s teams and waiting to interview them for their head-coaching jobs.
The Commanders are waiting to hold second interviews with Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald and assistant head coach/defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, as well as Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, league sources told ESPN.
There are some who have viewed Johnson as the “presumptive favorite” for the Washington job, but multiple sources insist that is not true. While Johnson could land the Commanders head-coaching job, sources insist that there are other strong candidates — most notably Macdonald, Weaver, Glenn and Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn — who remain “very much in play.”
