Dan Quinn just gave away the real reason Commanders fired Kliff Kingsbury
"This is going to be like an aggressive, balanced attack that will probably have more under center than we have in the past. That's also for run action and play passes to generate explosive plays. We're going to feature every part of Jayden that makes him unique and special, but also the run action and the runs and the play action game that goes with it."
"Reports suggested that Kingsbury and Quinn failed to reach a compromise on the best way to take the offense forward after an underwhelming 2025 campaign, though mitigating factors were cited. There was only going to be one winner after that, and the Commanders will now move forward with David Blough as their new offensive play-caller. Kingsbury wasn't out of work for long, either."
"As for the Commanders? Quinn left no doubt about how the offense will function next season and potentially beyond. The Commanders ran more shotgun plays than anyone in the league under Kingsbury, and it wasn't particularly close. His Air Raid concepts are more in keeping with the college game than the NFL, and they tend to get exposed pretty quickly the longer he stays with any team."
Kliff Kingsbury and the Washington Commanders parted ways after disagreements over offensive direction following an underwhelming 2025 campaign. Dan Quinn plans a more aggressive, balanced offense with increased under-center snaps, run action, and play passes designed to generate explosive plays. The Commanders elevated David Blough to offensive play-caller to implement that direction. Kingsbury joined the Los Angeles Rams' offensive staff under Sean McVay. Washington previously led the league in shotgun plays under Kingsbury, whose Air Raid concepts are characterized as more collegiate and prone to exposure over time. Jayden Daniels will be featured within the new scheme.
