"Everything has changed around Jayden Daniels ina relatively short timeframe. His quarterbacks coach, Tavita Pritchard, left to take the head-coaching job at Stanford. The Washington Commanders also p arted ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, his most trusted ally since entering the league in 2024. Promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator helps maintain some stability around Daniels. He's got no play-calling experience and was only a position coach for a few weeks after Pritchard departed."
"I've been very vocal about the stuff I want to do. He's been open. He tells me all the time that 'we want to build this offense for you', so that's kind of what a quarterback wants to hear. I'm super excited for him to get his opportunity. I know what he can do, and I know the work he puts in. We talk all the time, so I'm super excited to get back out there."
Significant staff turnover has reshaped the Commanders' offensive environment around Jayden Daniels. Quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard left for Stanford and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was dismissed after resisting schematic changes. Washington promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator to preserve continuity despite his lack of play-calling experience and only a brief stint as a position coach. Head coach Dan Quinn believes Blough offers innovative concepts to revive an offense that struggled last year. Daniels has asserted stronger input into scheme design and has actively communicated the types of plays he wants installed. The organization expresses confidence in Blough's work and fit.
