Dan Quinn revealed more than Commanders fans realized by promoting David Blough
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn | Europa Press Sports/GettyImagesWhile the Washington Commanders continue to search for their next defensive coordinator, the noise still hasn't died down from Dan Quinn's shocking promotion of David Blough to lead his offense.
Entering a make-or-break year for his job status, Quinn needed to bring in a proven play-caller, such as former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. Instead, Washington chose the 30-year-old Blough, who was the team's assistant quarterbacks coach until late in the 2025 season.
It could easily backfire, but it could also prove to be a stroke of genius. And that's all by design.
