"However, he prefers his coordinators to run things while he takes a more management role. That's had to change for the good of the team, but it's not a method he'll want to sustain next time around. The chances of Whitt being the coordinator next season are remote. He's gone from gaining head coaching interest from the New York Jets to being an innocent bystander on game days."
"Dan Quinn is known for hiring people he's worked with previously. However, there will never be a better time for the Washington Commanders to generate some positive momentum by thinking outside the box. That's why a young, progressive coach should be considered if Joe Whitt Jr. is made surplus to requirements. If this scenario comes to fruition, the Commanders could do far worse than examine Clint McMillan's credentials in greater detail."
Dan Quinn has taken over defensive play-calling after repeated failures by the Washington Commanders' defense, including a decisive loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10. The defense has shown glaring, unrectified weaknesses and the team's season is effectively lost. Joe Whitt Jr.'s future as defensive coordinator is in severe doubt, having shifted from head-coaching interest to a sidelined role. Quinn normally delegates game-day control to coordinators but intervened due to urgent need for improvement. The organization is expected to pursue a new defensive approach and is already considering candidates, including younger, progressive coaches such as Clint McMillan.
