"There is growing speculation about significant changes across the board in Washington. Rumors of a behind-the-scenes disconnect, coupled with general manager Adam Peters having the league's most pending free agents, mean this franchise will look entirely different in a few months. And the first decision facing the Commanders is painfully apparent. Commanders must begin offseason overhaul by firing Joe Whitt Jr."
"Washington needs a fresh set of ideas on defense. Quinn is a loyal coach - it's one of his most impressive qualities. Even though it'll be a difficult conversation, firing defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. is the best way to take this franchise forward. Whitt is a respected coach. His work with defensive backs throughout his outstanding career has drawn lavish praise."
Washington finished the season with a win over the Eagles, who rested most established starters, and coach Dan Quinn sought to reward players and staff after a difficult year. Growing speculation points to sweeping changes across the franchise as a result of a perceived internal disconnect and a large number of pending free agents under general manager Adam Peters. A defensive reset is presented as the first priority, with a recommendation to replace Joe Whitt Jr. despite his respected work with defensive backs. Quinn assumed play-calling at times amid poor defensive metrics, signaling the need for a new schematic direction.
