"Quinn navigated some extreme difficulties in 2025. Injuries decimated his squad. Almost every influential on-field figure missed time. Washington's defense was stagnant, and quarterback Jayden Daniels' lengthy absence made it difficult to build any legitimate offensive momentum. Those are legitimate excuses, but Quinn made some poor decisions. Keeping faith with aging veterans rather than younger players with nothing to play for other than pride down the stretch became an ongoing frustration for the fan base."
"[Dan] Quinn wasn't able to fix the problems during the season, and the Commanders shook things up by moving on from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt. Quinn deserves more time to prove that 2025 was an anomaly, but Falcons fans will point out that their former coach peaked early in his Atlanta tenure and never reached those heights again."
Dan Quinn retained his position as Washington Commanders head coach despite the team winning only five games in 2025. Injuries gutted the roster, sidelining multiple key players and disrupting both offense and defense. Jayden Daniels missed significant time and suffered a dislocated elbow after remaining in a game, which hindered offensive momentum. Defensive performance remained stagnant after Quinn assumed play-calling duties from Joe Whitt Jr. Fans expressed frustration over continued reliance on aging veterans instead of younger players late in the season. Coordinators Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. were dismissed, and comparisons to Quinn’s Atlanta tenure raise concerns entering his third season.
