The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders still have not decided on new head coaches after conducting several interviews, but it appears both teams are dragging out the process for a reason.
The Seahawks and Commanders are waiting to interview several head coach candidates whose teams are playing in the NFC and AFC Championship Games on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is widely believed to be at the top of Washington’s list. Schefter says the Commanders also want to hold second interviews with Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Baltimore Ravens assistants Mike Macdonald and Anthony Weaver. Schefter reports that those other assistant coaches — in addition to Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn — remain “very much in play” even with Washington having high interest in Johnson.
The Seahawks also interviewed Johnson and want to speak with him again. Quinn, who was once an assistant in Seattle, has also been linked to his former team. If the Seahawks want to interview Macdonald, NFL rules would require them to wait until Baltimore’s season ends since they have not conducted a first interview with him yet.
There is one high-profile candidate who still does not have a job, but the Commanders and Seahawks do not appear to have interest. At least one of the teams will likely hire a coach who is still currently working.

Storm edged by Dallas Wings 112-110 in overtime heartbreaker
SEATTLE — Paige Bueckers scored 27 points, Azzi Fudd added a career-high 26, including the go-ahead basket with 13.2 seconds left in overtime, and the Dallas Wings beat the Seattle Storm 112-110 on Monday night.
Bueckers, who scored 17 of the Wings’ final 24, netted her 1,000th career point in overtime to cap her night and put Dallas ahead 109-108. She tied Elena Delle Donne for the fourth-fastest in WNBA history to reach the milestone at 52 games.
Fudd followed with a go-ahead layup that put Dallas up 111-110 before Jessica Shepard stole the ball, and Aziaha James capped the scoring with a free throw to end it.
Dallas finished with a WNBA record 48 made field goals.
James scored 18 points off the bench for Dallas (11-6), and Shepard had 14 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Li Yueru scored 10.
Dominique Malonga scored a career-high 37 to go with 12 rebounds for Seattle (3-15). She became the youngest player in league history to reach 200 career field goals at 20 years and 219 days old. Natisha Hiedeman had 21 and 11 assists, and Awa Fam had 18 points.
Dallas trailed 94-88 with 1:24 remaining in regulation before Bueckers rattled off the Wings’ final eight points of regulation, including back-to-back 3-pointers, to help force overtime.
Seattle has lost 11 straight games.

CITY COUNCIL: Rescheduled briefing on Seattle Police staffing Tuesday
Two weeks ago, we reported on information prepared for a scheduled meeting of the City Council Public Safety Committee, suggesting that SPD might have to slow its hiring because fewer officers were leaving, which posed a budget dilemma. That briefing scheduled for the committee’s June 9 meeting ultimately was postponed because it was the last item on the agenda and the previous two ran long. It’s now scheduled for tomorrow’s committee meeting (9:30 am Tuesday, June 23), same slide deck, but this time it’s the second item on the agenda, so not likely to be bumped again. It’s a regularly scheduled quarterly update, no votes scheduled nor attached proposals, but it can be viewed in the prism of the city’s looming budget shortfall. The agenda explains how to comment and/or watch, in person or remotely.
