The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will interview Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott and Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin for their vacant head coaching job this week, the team confirmed Friday.

The Panthers and Cardinals both have a first-round bye in the playoffs, opening a short window for McDermott and Goodwin to interview for head coaching positions.

McDermott is a familiar face to Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht, having worked with him in Philadelphia.

McDermott's Panthers defense has ranked in the NFL's top 10 each of the past four seasons and is the only unit to achieve that feat.

Goodwin is a key architect of the Cardinals' prolific offense, yet hasn't generated much interest on the head coaching market.

After Goodwin's interview concludes, the Buccaneers will have complied with the NFL's Rooney Rule regarding minority candidates.
