We have?Yep, and hopefully it's already been in the works. They already interviewed Johnson once.

.... You don't think they'd wait two weeks? LolTo summarize the whole thing.
Both teams Washington + Seattle have their eyes on Ben Johnson and Mike MacDonald respectively, if that wasn't the case they would have already announced a head coach.
Washington situation:
Already first interview with both, so even if the Lions and Ravens go to the Superbowl, Washington can interview both a second time between the Championship and Super Bowl
Therefore, I am 100% sure that Washington will announce their head coach within the next week.
Seattle situation:
A first interview with Ben Johnson only, so they can do a second interview after the Championship Game regardless of whether the Lions lose or win.
Mike Macdonald MUST be eliminated today with the Ravens in order for Seattle to request a first interview with him, otherwise they will have to wait until after the Super Bowl.
There are two scenarios: (No. 1 would be good and No. 2 would be an absolute nightmare)
1. Ben Johnson wants to go to the Seahawks and the Seahawks want him, so the search could be over in a couple days and we can announce him.
2. Ben Johnson goes to the Commanders and the Ravens go to the Super Bowl. That would mean Seattle would have to wait until Feb. 12 to talk to MacDonald and my concern here is that Seattle won't do that and would rather hire their No. 2 head coach. Quinn, Kafka, Graham or Evero because otherwise the time for the staff and co. will eventually become too short.
I have zero interest for a Swifty Superbowl but for our HC search it would be the best...
It’s all good. By my calculations, the Seahawks don’t have a game for about 8 months. Everyone calm down. They essentially have their pick from a list of seemingly really good candidates.To summarize the whole thing.

Well Schneider could always cut him1 issue with waiting until after the Super Bowl to interview Macdonald would be the contract situation with Smith. The Seahawks effectively have an option on Smith that they must either pick up the guarantees or release him within 5 days of the Super Bowl. Macdonald might have a very strong view about Smith, (either way), or he maybe totally ambivalent.
EDIT: Pretty sure I was awfully confident for being wrong here, my bWe absolutely are allowed to request an interview with him. He might not want to take it, being in the playoffs and all.
