"You disgruntle your quarterback by changing the offensive coordinator, who he loves and has a relationship with, and is one of the best offensive coordinators in the sport. And you hire a guy that hasn't done anything close to that? To me, one of the craziest moves of the offseason so far. Crazy. David Blough was a practice squad quarterback two years ago. Now he's calling plays for the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels? Ass is on the hot seat with decisions like that. It better go good."
"The moves were drastic. Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury were both removed from the equation. They were replaced by Daronte Jones and David Blough, who have innovative ideas but no play-calling experience in the NFL pressure cooker. It's a monumental gamble, but it just might work if the personnel is enhanced by general manager Adam Peters."
"Dan Quinn could see that changes were needed this offseason. He freely admits he waited too long to make the desired alterations during his time as the Atlanta Falcons' head coach. He was not going to make the same mistake with the Washington Commanders."
Dan Quinn enacted sweeping coaching changes to avoid repeating his previous delay in making alterations. He fired Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury and hired Daronte Jones and David Blough, both lacking NFL play-calling experience but offering new ideas. The overhaul represents a high-risk strategy that depends on general manager Adam Peters to improve personnel. The moves drew sharp criticism from Chris Simms, who warned the change could alienate quarterback Jayden Daniels and labeled the hire of Blough as one of the craziest moves of the offseason. The offense struggled last season and Kingsbury failed to adjust his predictable scheme.
