"Jones has waited a long time and fought his way from the bottom up to secure this opportunity. He wants his own ideas implemented, including staffing changes. This was confirmed by Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, who revealed that the coordinator is seeking someone capable of rejuvenating the defensive front seven. No incoming has been confirmed as yet. Even so, Jones has set the table by disposing of three assistant coaches, and one name is more notable than most."
"According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Commanders have told Ryan Kerrigan that his services will no longer be required. He's acted as the assistant linebackers coach and pass-rush specialist throughout head coach Dan Quinn's tenure so far. But Jones has decided that the legendary Washington figure is free to seek alternative employment. Kerrigan flourished as a player in Washington before embarking on his coaching journey under Ron Rivera."
"When it's all said and done, this is a results business. One can point to the lack of quality on Washington's edge, but Jones is taking this chance to inject some energy and fresh ideas into the setup. Kerrigan is the odd man out, which brings a sad end to what's been an outstanding association with the Commanders. That wasn't all. The Commanders also let assistant defensive line coach Sharrif Floyd and player development coach Pete Ohnegian leave."
Daronte Jones assumed the Washington Commanders defensive coordinator role and immediately pursued staffing changes to implement his vision. He is seeking a coach to rejuvenate the defensive front seven and has already dismissed three defensive assistants. Ryan Kerrigan, who served as assistant linebackers coach and pass-rush specialist, was informed his services were no longer required. Kerrigan excelled as a player in Washington and transitioned into coaching under Ron Rivera, later retained by Dan Quinn. The Commanders also released assistant defensive line coach Sharrif Floyd and player development coach Pete Ohnegian, while Jason Simmons departed for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
