Dan Quinn just gave away the real reason Commanders fired Kliff Kingsbury

Kliff Kingsbury and the Washington Commanders went their separate ways this offseason. Now, head coach Dan Quinn all but confirmed why during his recent media availability before a pivotal recruitment phase for the franchise.

Reports suggested that Kingsbury and Quinn failed to reach a compromise on the best way to take the offense forward after an underwhelming 2025 campaign, though mitigating factors were cited. There was only going to be one winner after that, and the Commanders will now move forward with David Blough as their new offensive play-caller.

Kingsbury wasn't out of work for long, either.
