"Speculation is already rising about who will replace Kingsbury. It's a pivotal hire, especially considering the need for stability around quarterback Jayden Daniels. The signal-caller and other influential figures in the locker room were reportedly disappointed by Quinn's decision, which came after a crunch meeting where their differences proved too much to compromise over. Now, what comes next is crucial. And the Commanders are already being linked with the most ideal candidate imaginable."
"before things went south at MetLife Stadium. Daboll knows what Daniels can do. He enjoyed phenomenal success with a mobile quarterback while working with Josh Allen on the Buffalo Bills. And there was that infamous video of the interview with the signal-caller during the Giants' pre-draft evaluations in 2024, which prompted Joe Shoen's son to ask his dad to trade up for the former LSU phenom."
"This would be a home-run hire. Daboll won't be short of offers, but the Commanders need to throw a blank check at the best possible options. Because if these appointments don't have the desired effect, Quinn will lose his job. It's that simple. While it seems unlikely that Daboll will be in the head-coach hiring cycle, he may be in high demand when it comes time to hire coordinators."
The Washington Commanders fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, escalating pressure on head coach Dan Quinn. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and other locker-room leaders expressed disappointment after a crunch meeting over differences. The Commanders are linked to Brian Daboll as an early target for the offensive coordinator role. Daboll has prior success with mobile quarterbacks, notably with Josh Allen in Buffalo, and demonstrated familiarity with Daniels during pre-draft interactions. The team may need to offer a lucrative package to secure top candidates, since unsuccessful appointments could cost Quinn his job.
