The Washington Commanders introduced new general manager Adam Peters to the media on Tuesday. The team’s next task is to find a head coach.
Last week, the Commanders requested permission to interview seven assistant coaches. They interviewed Ravens defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald and associate head coach/DL coach Anthony Weaver virtually last week.
Washington will interview Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on Thursday.
You can add two more names to that list. According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, the Commanders will also interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris on Thursday.

Peters didn’t divulge any information on names but said that he would be involved in hiring the next head coach.
Once the Commanders complete their first round of interviews with Quinn, Morris and Johnson, the only names remaining on the initial list to be interviewed are Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. They may be interviewed this week, too.
Johnson, Glenn, Slowik, MacDonald, and Weaver all have teams playing in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs this weekend. It isn’t yet known if Washington will expand upon its initial list of seven candidates.
