"The 2025 season didn't go remotely as planned for Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. A year after winning 12 games and reaching the NFC Championship game in the star quarterback's rookie year, the Commanders went 5-12. Daniels appeared in only seven contests and finished only four due to numerous frustrating injury problems. Plenty of blame can be tossed around, and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was a popular source of it."
"Washington ended up parting ways with him at the conclusion of the season due to a disagreement over philosophy. The Commanders replaced him with coach David Blough, who has no NFL play-calling experience. For Daniels, it was a stunning decision to move on from a coach with whom he had built such a strong rapport. He undoubtedly wishes the situation had played out differently and admitted as much during a media interview at the Super Bowl festivities."
The Washington Commanders regressed to a 5-12 record in 2025 after a 12-win season, with Jayden Daniels appearing in seven games and finishing only four because of injuries. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was widely criticized and was let go after a philosophical disagreement with the organization. The Commanders hired David Blough, who lacks NFL play-calling experience, as the new offensive coach. Daniels expressed disappointment about losing a coach he trusted but said he respects the team's decision and is ready to work with the new staff. Daniels should not shoulder outsized responsibility for the season's collapse.
