ESPN analyst strongly backs Dan Quinn over tenure-defining Commanders call

When the 2026 season begins, approximately two-thirds of the NFL teams will have new coaches running their offenses. The Washington Commanders are one of them.

Head coach Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury came to what has been called a mutual decision to part ways after the disappointing 2025 campaign. With a lot of names and speculation swirling, the Commanders moved quickly to promote quarterbacks coach David Blough to the play-caller.

This move certainly raised eyebrows across the league.

At 30 years old, Blough will be one of the NFL's youngest coordinators. More surprisingly, he has only been coaching for two years.
