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.
