Ex-Warriors GM Bob Myers Hired by Commanders' Harris for HC Search as Rivera Fired

Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris is thinking outside the box as he and the organization embark on a full coaching search.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Adam Schefter reported the Commanders hired former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and former Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman to aid in targeting candidates to replace Ron Rivera, who was fired Monday.

Myers specifically "will take a lead role in identifying and coordinating interviews with candidates for both the top football operations and head coaching jobs — with Spielman set work to closely with him, officials said," per the report.
