"A year after winning 12 games and qualifying for the NFC Championship, it's not what anybody envisioned. Everyone has taken heat for the disappointment, but especially head coach Dan Quinn. Despite the noise, all indications are that Quinn will return in 2026. It's unequivocally the correct decision, and one national analyst with former ties to Washington's franchise just explained exactly why without even trying."
"Louis Riddick drops the ultimate truth bomb on Dan Quinn, other oft-criticized coaches We live in a world of instant gratification. When it comes to sports, this has generated increasingly toxic discourse anytime a team goes through its lumps, especially when it comes to coaches. Somebody needed to stand up to the peanut gallery, and Louis Riddick of ESPN finally did."
"Given the timing of the post and the media cycle following the Christmas Day games, this was likely about Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions. It rings true there, too. Their offensive line and defensive backfield have been decimated by injuries. They lost both coordinators from last year. Despite all of that, their supposedly "it was all Ben Johnson" offense is still top five in scoring. He's a good coach."
The Washington Commanders will finish the season with no more than five wins and will secure another high-end first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A year after winning 12 games and reaching the NFC Championship, the team underperformed and faced widespread criticism, particularly aimed at head coach Dan Quinn. Despite mistakes and heavy public pressure, indications are that Quinn will return as head coach in 2026 and that retaining him is the correct choice. Analyst Louis Riddick defended Quinn and other criticized coaches, arguing that injuries, assistant turnover and bad luck often cause downturns, not sole coaching failure.
