The Washington Commanders are interviewing Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on Thursday for the same role.

It comes one day after the team interviewed former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman for the job. The Commanders have no other interviews set up, per NFL Network.

Bieniemy, 53, is fresh off another Super Bowl title with the Chiefs, the team’s second in four years.

Bieniemy, in his fifth season as offensive coordinator, joined head coach Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City in 2013 as running backs coach. He held that role until he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2018.

Reid has called the plays for each of his 10 seasons with the Chiefs with the exception of a stretch of games in 2017, when Matt Nagy handled those chores.

The Commanders need to replace Scott Turner, dismissed by the team last month.

The Commanders are rolling with Sam Howell as their starting quarterback heading into the offseason.

Bieniemy was selected in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He played a total of 142 games with the then-San Diego Chargers (1991-94), Cincinnati Bengals (1995-98) and Philadelphia Eagles (1999).
