"The Washington Commanders caused a stir by promoting David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator. Fans wanted a bigger name with previous experience, especially considering the stakes have been raised for head coach Dan Quinn in 2026. However, there is confidence in the building that they are getting ahead of the game. That is an opinion also shared by Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who gave Blough his seal of approval with a glowing reference that should provide confidence to fans who remain skeptical about the appointment."
"He's really smart, has a natural way of connecting with everybody, coaches and players alike. They found tremendous value in him as well. I think he'll do an outstanding job in that role. I think he's really smart. Having played quarterback. He's got that inward feel of how to help elevate that position, you know, and I think he'll be able to do that in a play-calling role going forward. So I think he'll be, he'll be one of those young guys that gets a head job before you know it."
David Blough was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, replacing Kliff Kingsbury. The move drew fan criticism because Blough lacks play-calling experience and had served as an assistant quarterbacks coach until late in the season. Head coach Dan Quinn is taking a significant gamble with the appointment, but internal confidence exists that the team is getting ahead of potential challenges. Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who worked with Blough in Detroit, gave a strong endorsement of Blough's intelligence, rapport with players and coaches, and potential to elevate quarterbacks and eventually win a head-coaching job.
