The Washington Commanders interviewed San Francisco 49ers assistant head coach and running backs coach Anthony Lynn for their offensive coordinator opening yesterday, the team announced on Twitter. The most recent names to officially emerge in the candidate pool were the most prominent, as the Commanders requested interviews with Lynn and Eric Bieniemy. Though Rivera reportedly has not conducted an official interview with Bieniemy yet.
If you are asking the question of why either candidate should consider Washington when there are arguably several more situations that are better, that is fair. Furthermore, you’d have to hope in this instance that Rivera has good situational awareness and his conversations with both coaches must reflect that.
