"Dan Quinn said he would consider everything before making the desired changes. The Washington Commanders head coach knew that alterations were needed across the board. And they arrived dramatically with a mini-cull of his staff in one fell swoop. First, it was the coordinator duo of Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury. That was always the most obvious route, although the offensive play-caller's departure has left some key figures disappointed, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz."
"According to Nick Jhabvala and Dianna Russini from The Athletic, the Commanders have also made offensive line coach Bobby Johnson surplus to requirements. This was far more surprising, especially considering the protection emerged as a legitimate bright spot amid all the constant doom and gloom. Johnson joined Quinn in 2024. Fans were skeptical after he was fired by the New York Giants, but his overall body of work was pretty encouraging."
Dan Quinn executed a sweeping staff overhaul, dismissing coordinators Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury and later offensive line coach Bobby Johnson. The firings aim to reset a struggling Washington Commanders roster and give a new offensive coordinator latitude to assemble preferred assistants. Johnson’s dismissal surprised observers because the offensive line showed relative improvement, including praise for rookie Josh Conerly Jr. and revived play from Chris Paul. The moves increase scrutiny on Quinn as he assumes accountability for performance and roster direction. Additional staff changes remain possible as the team prepares for on-field work ahead of the 2026 campaign.
