"Johnson did a good job overall. Nobody knows what was going on behind the scenes, and terrible seasons often come with wholesale changes. The rumors swirling about fractured relationships within the building are much more concerning, so what comes next for Quinn cannot be overstated to avoid speculation about his own job status in the coming months. His next hires are crucial."
"Dan Orlovsky had the perfect replacement in mind for Johnson. The quarterback-turned- ESPN analyst urged Washington to back up the Brinks truck for Dwayne Ledford, the run game coordinator and offensive line coach for the Atlanta Falcons. He may be seeking alternative employment after the NFC South club fired head coach Raheem Morris, and it would be a perfect fit for what the Commanders are trying to implement."
"Ledford masterminded the Falcons into a formidable offensive line with an even more formidable rushing attack. Having Bijan Robinson helps, of course, but the gap scheme and wide-zone concepts are among the things Washington is looking to introduce. Obviously, the next offensive coordinator will have his own ideas about who to bring in."
Head coach Dan Quinn fired offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson after a dismal 2025 campaign. Rumors of fractured relationships inside the organization have raised concerns and increased pressure on Quinn to make decisive moves. General manager Adam Peters deferred coaching hires to Quinn while focusing on roster revamp. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky recommended hiring Dwayne Ledford, the Falcons' run game coordinator and offensive line coach, as a priority target. Ledford is credited with building a strong rushing attack using gap-scheme and wide-zone concepts. The Commanders must quickly appoint a new offensive coordinator, potentially promoting internally to retain David Blough.
