The Washington Commanders were expected to cast a wide net before hiring their next offensive coordinator. As it turned out, head coach Dan Quinn merely went through the formalities before a shocking in-house promotion.
In a stunning move, the Commanders reportedly named David Blough as Kliff Kingsbury's successor. They interviewed two outside candidates to comply with NFL procedures. They also spoke with Brian Johnson and David Raih — two members of Washington's current staff. But with the Detroit Lions circling, the quarterback-turned-coach was the guy.
This caused significant debate among the fan base. Quinn is under enormous pressure to turn the tide next season.
