"Of course, he is the son of franchise legend Doug Williams, which led some to speculate that this was an old-boys' club appointment with little substance. That seemed a little harsh. Williams earned the right. Head coach Dan Quinn wouldn't have given this his seal of approval otherwise - not with the mounting pressure on his own job status. And if offensive coordinator David Blough believes this is the guy to help Jayden Daniels reach new heights, fans should trust his judgment."
"He's been in the league, and from what I was told, blew the interview away, okay. I've had kids of mine get jobs in spots that people thought I had something to do with. I didn't have a damn thing to do with it. I never knew they were applying for those jobs, and they gotthem, off their own merit. Based on the things I was told, this is exactly the same thing."
Washington Commanders hired D.J. Williams as quarterbacks coach amid fan speculation about nepotism because he is Doug Williams' son. Williams has 6-7 years of NFL experience and impressed in his interview, leading decision-makers to select him on merit. Head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator David Blough support the hire and expect Williams to help Jayden Daniels develop. Former Washington player Brian Mitchell vouched for Williams' qualifications, saying Williams "blew the interview away" and that the hire mirrored other situations where candidates earned roles independently. The hire rekindled emotional ties to franchise history while prompting scrutiny from skeptical fans.
