"There were a few eyebrows raised around the league when the Washington Commanders promoted David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator. And now, two more in-house staff elevations caused one analyst to raise questions about the team's current direction. The Commanders confirmed that Darnell Stapleton is the new offensive line coach, replacing Bobby Johnson. Shane Toub has become Washington's assistant offensive line coach. This makes it three promotions, which is perplexing given that most thought the need for change was much more important."
"Dan Quinn disliked the offense enough to part with Kliff Kingsbury and Bobby Johnson but liked the offense enough to promote David Blough, Darnell Stapleton and Shane Toub. Not saying any of this is wrong (there's a lot we don't know), but this is an unusual offensive-staff revamp. The whole idea of an internal pipeline is succession for when people move on to bigger and better things."
Washington promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator to replace Kliff Kingsbury. Darnell Stapleton became the new offensive line coach, replacing Bobby Johnson. Shane Toub was elevated to assistant offensive line coach, creating three internal promotions. The promotions followed the departures of Kingsbury and Johnson, prompting questions about the team's direction. Analyst Al Giardi criticized the strategy, noting succession plans typically occur when coaches move on to better jobs, not when they are dismissed. The moves represent a significant vote of faith by Dan Quinn in internal staff. Fans have expressed caution and are allowing the results to play out before judging.
