Ben Johnson has decided to remain as offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions.
Johnson was a candidate for several head coaching openings, including the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commenders.
Johnson reportedly was seeking an incredibly lucrative contract to become a head coach, which possibly cooled his market.
Raheem Morris is one of the top head coaching candidates on the market and has second in-person interviews upcoming with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks.
Morris was head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009 until 2011. Morris has been defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams since 2021.
The Jim Harbaugh derby for NFL teams is about to heat up.
The Los Angeles Chargers are set to be the first NFL team to meet with Harbaugh about their head-coaching vacancy, according to ESPN and multiple reports.
Atlanta, Carolina, Las Vegas, Seattle, Tennessee and Washington also have openings.
The Washington Commanders have hired Adam Peters as their new head football position.
Peters has worked in the front office of the San Francisco 49ers since 2017. Peters first worked in the NFL as a scout with the New England Patriots before moving to the Denver Broncos.
The Washington Commanders have hired former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and former Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman to assist Josh Harris's ownership group with searches for a new head of football operations and head coach.
Ron Rivera was fired on Monday morning.
In a search that will commence immediately, Myers will take a lead role in identifying and coordinating interviews with candidates for the top football operations and head-coaching jobs, with Spielman set to work closely with him, Commanders officials said.
Washington will have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft and projected salary cap space that is among the most in the NFL this offseason.
The Washington Commanders have fired Ron Rivera.
Washington failed to have a winning season in each of Rivera's four seasons as head coach.
