"Every Washington Commanders fan knew there would be changes coming at the end of the disappointing 2025 season. Head coach Dan Quinn delivered. Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. already had a foot out the door from the moment he was stripped of play-calling duties. Recent reports suggested that offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was on his way out as well. But to actually witness both men saying goodbye on the same day?"
"Teams at the bottom of the league fire their head coach, and whoever replaces him cleans house, bringing in his own chosen coordinators. Or the very best teams might see both coordinators leave to take head-coaching jobs elsewhere. But neither of those descriptions fits the Commanders. They may have had a great season in 2024 and a poor one in 2025, but realistically, they are neither as good nor as bad as those two seasons suggest."
Both Washington Commanders coordinators departed following a disappointing 2025 season. Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. had been stripped of play-calling duties before his exit. Reports indicated offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was leaving amid reported tension with Dan Quinn and general manager Adam Peters. The team fell from a strong 2024 to a poor 2025, placing it in the NFL middle of the pack rather than among extremes. General manager Adam Peters is expected to have replacement plans. Kevin Sheehan warned that moving on from Kingsbury requires a better solution. Multiple reasonable offensive candidates are currently available on the market, and others continue to appear.
