Ravens OC Jim Caldwell is set to interview with the Redskins and Lions

Caldwell helped lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl XLVII win last year

The Lions also are expected to interview Cardinals DC Todd Bowles

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell is scheduled to interview with the Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions for their vacant head coaching positions, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks.

Caldwell took the Indianapolis Colts to Super Bowl XLIV during his three seasons as coach after succeeding Tony Dungy, and last year guided the Ravens offense during a run to a Super Bowl XLVII crown last year.

But Caldwell's unit, decimated by injuries and key departures, floundered in 2013 as Baltimore missed the playoffs for the first time in six seasons.

His extensive background with quarterbacks could be a huge asset with either Washington or Detroit, given their significant investments in Robert Griffin III and Matthew Stafford, respectively -- franchise quarterbacks who flopped in 2012. Caldwell, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach to coordinator in a rare late-season move in 2012 to replace the fired Cam Cameron, helped Joe Flacco earn Super Bowl XLVII MVP honors.

Previously, he worked as Peyton Manning's position coach on Dungy's staff, drawing raves from the four-time NFL MVP. He served as the Colts' quarterbacks coach when the Colts won Super Bowl XLI and Manning won Super Bowl MVP honors.

He also served as head coach for eight seasons at Wake Forest.

Detroit also is expected to interview Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, who has quickly become an attractive candidate after fielding one of the league's best units after joining first-year coach Bruce Arians' staff. Bowles is also set to interview with the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns.
