"Things are going to look different for quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2026. The Washington Commanders are under pressure to turn the tide, and head coach Dan Quinn displayed his ruthless tendencies by firing both coordinators. And now, Daniels could be set to lose another trusted ally who is gaining alluring glances from around the league. Most fans thought defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. would be gone."
"According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the Detroit Lions have requested permission to speak with David Blough about their offensive coordinator vacancy. He spent time with the NFC North club as a player, and the senior insider called him a " sneaky hot name" worth monitoring closely. Blough stepped up into the interim quarterbacks coach position once Pritchard departed. He's highly thought of in the building and seems to be on a fast track up the coaching ladder."
The Washington Commanders underwent major coaching turnover, with head coach Dan Quinn firing both coordinators and several assistants leaving or being removed. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury departed after failed compromises with general manager Adam Peters. Quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard left for Stanford, and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson was removed. David Blough, elevated to interim quarterbacks coach after Pritchard's exit, is highly regarded internally and considered an ambitious rising coach. The Detroit Lions have requested permission to interview Blough for their offensive coordinator vacancy. The Commanders acknowledge the risk and may face further staff departures depending on Kingsbury’s movements.
