Ken Zampese’s history of developing quarterbacks is good news for Redskins

The Washington Redskins overhauled their coaching staff following the 2019 season. After stumbling to a 3-13 record, the Redskins elected to clean house. They had already fired Jay Gruden midseason, but interim head coach Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Greg Manusky were all out at the end of the year as well.

And while offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell was potentially going to stick around under Ron Rivera, that didn’t end up happening.

Rivera ended up being hired just before the New Year and the team is being rebuilt around him. Bruce Allen is gone, so Rivera and Kyle Smith have been working together to create the team that will take the field in 2020.
