"Dan Quinn was the toast of the town just one year ago. The Washington Commanders were in the midst of a sensational first campaign under his leadership, which eventually ended in the NFC Championship game. Although losing to the Philadelphia Eagles was disappointing, fans were confident this was merely the start of a new, prosperous period in franchise history. But this is the NFL, where nothing is guaranteed."
"Joe Whitt Jr. was fired. Kliff Kingsbury parted ways with the club after a disagreement on how best to take the offense forward. David Blough received a promotion to replace the play-caller on offense. D.J. Williams is the new quarterbacks coach, and the Commanders are going big game hunting for their next defensive coordinator. The times are changing. Couple this with the significant alterations sure to arrive on the playing personnel side, and things are going to look entirely different for the Commanders entering 2026."
The Washington Commanders followed a breakout 2024 season with a disastrous 5-12 campaign in 2025 marked by injuries and inconsistent performance. Several coaching changes were implemented, including the firing of Joe Whitt Jr., Kliff Kingsbury’s departure, David Blough’s promotion to offensive play-caller, and D.J. Williams becoming quarterbacks coach. The franchise is actively searching for a new defensive coordinator and anticipates major roster adjustments ahead of 2026. Dan Quinn is making decisive moves to correct course, acknowledging past delays in change and signaling a willingness to adapt while retaining key players Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin.
