The Washington Commanders have one remaining vacancy on the coaching staff. Washington still needs to hire a wide receivers coach. And one thing is clear, new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy will be making that hire.
Just before Bieniemy’s introductory press conference, he and the Commanders interviewed Chiefs running backs coach Greg Lewis for a role on the new offensive staff. Bieniemy also interviewed Stanford quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard, who he recently hired as QB coach.
Earlier this week, the Commanders interviewed longtime NFL assistant and former college head coach Karl Dorrell for the vacant WRs coaching position.
Washington also interviewed former NFL wide receiver and coach Bobby Engram, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.
