The Washington Redskins have requested permission from the Seattle Seahawks to interview Seattle’s offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, for their vacant head coaching job, according to a person familiar with the situation.
It’s not clear when the interview will take place. Under league rules, Bevell is eligible to interview for head coaching jobs this weekend since the Seahawks have a first-round playoff bye.
The Redskins are seeking a replacement for Mike Shanahan, who was fired Monday. Bevell could be an attractive option after working with young quarterback Russell Wilson in Seattle.
