The Washington Commanders’ search for a new head coach continues this week with second in-person interviews on tap with their candidates.
Four of Washington’s other candidates were busy this week preparing for the conference championship games, leaving Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik available. Slowik’s first interview with Washington came virtually on Sunday — one day after the Ravens eliminated the Texans from the postseason.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the Commanders wasted no time setting up an in-person interview with Slowik. The two sides met on Tuesday. Slowik will also have a second interview with the Falcons on Thursday.
Texans OC Bobby Slowik has a second interview with the Commanders today, and a second interview with the Falcons on Thursday, per source. He had interviews over Zoom with both teams Sunday. These will be in-person.
Slowik worked with Washington GM Adam Peters in San Francisco.

Slowik was a first-year coordinator for Houston last season under new head coach DeMeco Ryans. The Texans went from worst to first, with Slowik assisting in the development of quarterback C.J. Stroud. Stroud was phenomenal as a rookie, and Slowik, who comes from the Kyle Shanahan tree, became a hot candidate for multiple head coaching openings this offseason.
