"Quinn is a respected leader who's never lost the locker room, even amid such a disastrous campaign. That's arguably the biggest reason why he's not feeling the heat right now, although he also earned enough good graces last season to get the benefit of the doubt. There is no denying that Quinn has made mistakes this season. The injuries haven't helped, but the momentum is evaporating rapidly. The leash is tighter, and the margin for error is diminishing,"
"Dianna Russini of The Athletic confirmed that Quinn is expected to return to Washington in 2026. "Commanders coach Dan Quinn is expected back for the 2026 season, though changes to the offense and the defense remain possible after Washington has slumped to a 4-12 record. Quinn took over defensive play calling from Joe Whitt Jr. in early November. The Commanders likely won't make any final decisions until they see how the broader coaching market develops.""
Washington Commanders face a franchise-defining offseason with multiple tough decisions while Dan Quinn is expected to remain head coach for 2026 despite a dismal 4-12 season. Quinn retains broad locker-room support and earned goodwill from his first year, which shields him from immediate dismissal. Injuries and roster quality contributed to poor results, and Quinn has taken over defensive play-calling after changes midseason. Significant staff adjustments beneath him are possible, including replacing Joe Whitt Jr. Final decisions may await developments in the broader coaching market. The team's margin for error is shrinking and improved health and personnel are essential for 2026 success.
