When Kliff Kingsbury sat down with Dan Quinn to discuss a vision for the Washington Commanders' offense moving forward, an agreement or compromise couldn't be reached. The play-caller left the club after two years, and the head coach took a massive risk with his replacement.
Instead of going with one of the more accomplished names on the market, such as Mike McDaniel, the Commanders are gambling on David Blough. He's got no play-calling experience, but some influential figures around the NFL believe he will be a head coach one day. Quinn didn't want to lose the former quarterback, and this is what it took to keep him around.
