Sources: Kingsbury and Whitt out as Commanders coordinators
Open Extended Reactions
ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders, one year removed from a trip to the NFC Championship Game, have moved on from both coordinators, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Commanders and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury mutually agreed to part ways after he met with head coach Dan Quinn. Meanwhile, the team fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. The latter move had long been expected, considering Quinn took over defensive playcalling duties from Whitt after Week 10.
Washington's defense finished the season ranked last in yards and 27th in points -- it represented a steep drop after finishing 18th in points and 13th in yards the previous season.
