REPORT: Redskins’ Head Coaching Targets Could Include Mike Tomlin, Todd Bowles

Early Monday morning, the Washington Redskins finally decided to part ways with head coach Jay Gruden after their latest loss to the New England Patriots that dropped the team to 0-5.

As the Washington Redskins search for a new head coach, owner Daniel Snyder reportedly has eyes on several candidates that include Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, according to ESPN’s Ed Werder.

In a recent conversation with someone who knows Dan Snyder well and is aware of his thoughts on potential next #Redskins head coaches that any list of candidates would include: #Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, #Bucs DC Todd Bowles, #Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that Redskins’ current offensive coordinator, Kevin O’Connell, might also receive some consideration for the job.

From @gmfb: The #Redskins have watched as several talented offensive minds left their coaching staff to excel elsewhere. Expect OC Kevin O'Connell to get consideration for the head coach job to prevent history repeating. pic.twitter.com/1fRLlzRW3Y

Tomlin being added to this list is because the Steelers signed him to a 1-year extension over the summer that will keep him under contract through the 2021 season.
