"The decision to let Kingsbury out the door was met with equal amounts of skepticism, outrage, and optimism, because why else would you let someone go unless you had a plan in place? Well, it turns out, Quinn did have a plan in place, but it wasn't the plan anyone was calling for. According to multiple reports, Quinn and the Commanders are promoting David Blough from within their own coaching ranks to be the team's new offensive coordinator."
"Many in the Commanders' fan base were dreaming of the possibility of Quinn hiring his old pal Mike McDaniel, someone he's been close to for quite some time. And that potential reunion for McDaniel coming back to Washington made a ton of sense. Not only does McDaniel have ties to Quinn, but he also has ties to Commanders GM Adam Peters from their time with the San Francisco 49ers."
Dan Quinn moved quickly in the 2025 offseason, parting ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator. The hire surprised many who expected an external candidate like Mike McDaniel, who has ties to both Quinn and GM Adam Peters. Blough was elevated from interim quarterbacks coach after Tavita Pritchard's departure. Blough is a former undrafted Purdue quarterback who previously played under Kingsbury and recently turned 30. The internal promotion drew mixed reactions from the fan base and heightens scrutiny of Quinn heading into 2026.
