"It feels unfair to put him on this list, given the sheer volume of injuries that ruined the Commanders' 2025 season - especially the one to quarterback Jayden Daniels. [Dan] Quinn, after all, is still the coach who led Washington to the NFC Championship Game in his first year with the club (2024). But he also just purged his staff. How Daniels responds to a new OC will be crucial to Quinn's future. Also important: how the Commanders fix a defense that has been terrible during his two-year tenure."
"Quinn was never going to be fired despite the Commanders achieving just five wins when a deep postseason run was expected. He guided the franchise to the NFC Championship game in Year 1, and the head coach never lost the locker room throughout some trying times. Couple this with the constant stream of injury problems, and it's not hard to see why he got the benefit of the doubt."
Dan Quinn led Washington to the NFC Championship Game in his first season, but the Commanders managed just five wins in 2025 amid a torrent of injuries, including the one to quarterback Jayden Daniels. The poor record prompted Quinn to part ways with both coordinators, signaling rising pressure on his tenure. An NFL insider listed Quinn among head coaches entering 2026 on the hot seat, noting that excuses will not suffice if Daniels fails to rebound and the defense remains ineffective. Quinn has taken steps to force change, and his future hinges on offensive and defensive turnarounds.
