The Washington Commanders are looking for a new head of football operations and coach. New owner Josh Harris is tapping into his NBA roots for some help with the search.
Former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers will assist Harris in his search for the new leaders of the Commanders. Myers left the Warriors after last season, after helping the franchise to four NBA championships in 11-plus seasons.
Myers will continue in his analyst role with ESPN, while he helps Harris look for his next GM and coach.
“I have been fortunate to know Josh Harris for many years and his commitment to building championship-caliber teams is what drew me here,” Myers said in a statement. “In my experience, championship infrastructure begins with a strong ownership group that prioritizes culture and invests in attracting the industry’s most talented and innovative leaders…This is the type of opportunity that really inspires me, and I look forward to contributing to the next chapter of this storied franchise.”
