Dan Quinn stands firm amid scrutiny over Commanders' coordinator gambles

The offensive and defensive coordinators hired by Dan Quinn when he took over as head coach of the Washington Commanders in 2024 had a combined 21 years of NFL experience. Roughly half of those were at the head coach or coordinator level.

By contrast, the two new coordinators — Daronte Jones and David Bough — have a combined 10 years of total experience, with three of them at the coordinator level. Quinn is trusting the far-less-experienced duo to revive Washington’s fortunes. It’s a bold move — one that is based as much on gut instinct as résumé.
