The Washington Commanders fired offensive coordinator Scott Turner last week after three seasons with the team. We speculated on potential replacements after Turner’s dismissal, focusing on anyone with a prior connection to head coach Ron Rivera or perhaps taking a chance on a young up-and-coming offensive mind.
One week into the search, we’ve heard of several names the Commanders are interested in for the position. Former NFL head coaches Pat Shurmur and Jim Caldwell, two Dolphins assistants in Darrell Bevell and Eric Studesville, Falcons QB coach Charles London and Washington’s QB coach Ken Zampese.
Caldwell declined Washington’s request, as he was focusing only on head coaching vacancies. Shurmur interviewed with the Commanders Tuesday, while Washington has sought permission to interview Bevell, Studesville and London. It’s unclear if Bevell will interview with Washington.
There will likely be more names in the coming days. We discuss what we’ve learned one week into Washington’s search for an offensive coordinator.
