Dan Quinn subtly fires back at backlash over Commanders' coaching move
"The Washington Commanders enter the offseason with a coaching staff that will feature no shortage of new faces. Both coordinators from their five-win 2025 campaign are gone, as are many positional coaches and assistants. David Blough was promoted from the team's interim quarterbacks' coach to offensive coordinator under head coach Dan Quinn. Taking over his old role, meanwhile, is someone whose name carries a special meaning to the Commanders franchise."
"D.J. Williams. The D.J. is short for Doug Jr. Doug Williams, forever etched in history as Washington's starting quarterback and Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXII, remains part of the Commanders' front office staff as a senior advisor. But Quinn wants to make it clear that his son was not a nepotism hire. He got the job on merit alone."
Washington's coaching staff will see numerous new faces after the five-win 2025 campaign, with both coordinators and many positional coaches departing. David Blough was promoted from interim quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator under head coach Dan Quinn. D.J. Williams (Doug Jr.) was hired as the team's quarterbacks coach; his father Doug Williams remains a senior advisor in the front office. Dan Quinn emphasized that D.J. Williams was hired on merit after an excellent interview and after monitoring his career. Williams spent 2024-25 on the Atlanta Falcons' staff and worked with Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins. Williams will work to advance Jayden Daniels.
