The Super Bowl is over, so assistant coaches from the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are free to interview for positions with other teams.
This is of particular interest to the Washington Commanders, who are interested in Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for the same role. Washington is reportedly trying to set up an interview with Bieniemy.
According to John Keim of ESPN, Bieniemy isn’t the only offensive coordinator candidate that Washington is looking to interview this week. The Commanders are trying to set up a date to interview former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Roman and the Ravens parted ways on Jan. 19 after six seasons as the offensive coordinator. Roman is praised as an excellent designer of the run game. However, Baltimore’s passing offense struggled at times during his tenure. Was that due to Roman or personnel?
Bieniemy remains Washington’s top choice, but does this late pivot to Roman mean head coach Ron Rivera knows Bieniemy isn’t taking the job? Washington has had weeks to interview Roman, and he was never mentioned as a candidate.
Before any interviews with Bieniemy and Roman, the Commanders have interviewed six candidates since firing Scott Turner last month.
