It’s becoming more and more clear that, in an ever-evolving NFL, the Washington Redskins are in need of a leading offensive mind more in tune with the modern ways. Perhaps they have one, but he just needs more control.
Kevin O’Connell was hired to be the Washington Redskins quarterbacks coach back in 2017. Since then, in only a year and a half, he’s worked his way into a greater role, taking on the title of passing game coordinator. Jay Gruden still calls the plays, but the team has placed greater value on O’Connell’s insight as a young, budding coach.
