Ron Rivera almost certainly has just one more game left as Commanders HC. While the future of Martin Mayhew as Washington’s GM may also be limited to just one more game, it is slightly less certain. Regardless of Mayhew’s status, new owner Josh Harris is expected to explore the option of updating the team’s power structure. It is anticipated that Dan Snyder’s successor will consider appointing a president of football operations to oversee both the GM and HC, as indicated by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Washington has made adjustments to its power structure multiple times over the last few years. In 2020, Rivera essentially held personnel power by himself, with the team waiting until 2021 to bring in Mayhew as the GM. Rivera arrived after Bruce Allen‘s 10-year tenure as team president. The final years of Allen’s term did not include a GM, as the franchise dismissed Scot McCloughan after two years in the role. The Harris-owned 76ers have Daryl Morey overseeing GM Elton Brand and HC Nick Nurse, however, many NFL teams grant full control to their GMs. If the Commanders are to hire both a GM and an executive to oversee that position, top GM candidates are likely to be less interested in the job. Harris is not interested in giving a head coach full autonomy.

Here’s the latest from the coaching ranks:

• Signs that the Eagles would demote DC Sean Desai were evident weeks before Nick Sirianni made the call. Sirianni chipped away at Desai’s authority by removing his final say of third-down game planning, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. The Panthers are expected to give Ejiro Evero an HC interview. The Chargers are unlikely to consider their coordinators for the HC job, and the Jets are likely to make staff changes despite giving their HC and GM a mulligan for 2023.
