Dan Quinn needs to recruit new coordinators and make a great choice for OC.

Dan Quinn needs to recruit new coordinators and make a great choice for OC.

Josh Harris, the managing partner, introduced Adam Peters as the new general manager of the Washington Commanders on Tuesday, January 9th. Harris then spent the balance of the month looking for a new head coach.

After the two youngest OCs on the list chose to stay via their current teams, the list was cut down to just 4.

Soon enough, Cowboys DC Dan Quinn will become the next head coach of the Commanders. Before that, he has to evaluate the current coaching staff and then hire new people.

The most important jobs will be the offensive and defensive coordinator, but he’ll also have to decide if Nate Kaczor, who is in charge of the special teams, can handle another change as head coach.

There are already a lot of names being linked to Quinn, from both when he was trying to get another job as a head coach and from this year’s rumors and reports.

Quinn is likely to bring a few coaches from the Cowboys of Dallas with him. In Washington, Joe Whitt, who is currently the DB coach, is said to be Quinn’s choice for DC.

He currently serves as the secondary coach and coordinator of the passing game for the Cowboys. He will likely join Quinn’s staff as soon as the hiring is official.

People think that Quinn’s new offensive coordinator is the most important coach on the staff. Eric Bieniemy has a one-year deal with the Commanders left, and he was interviewed for the job of head coach.

A disappointing season in which the first-year starting quarterback showed promise but then fell apart in the NFL’s most pass-happy offense is likely to leave him.

This year, Washington has the second pick in the draft and is likely to pick a new quarterback. QBs on the team will need to improve, and Quinn may need to make the OC hire work.

Klint Kubiak, who is the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, has been mentioned more than once as someone who Quinn might hire.

Kubiak is the younger brother of former Nuggets head coach Gary Kubiak. Last year, he joined Kyle Shanahan’s staff as a coach.

He was the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings for one season in 2021. He also worked for the Denver Broncos twice.

In 2016, when Adam Peters became the new General Manager of the Commanders, he was in charge of college recruiting. During that season, he worked as a coach.

Thursday, the NFL filled the last open head coaching job on the coaching carousel. Dan Quinn, who used to be the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, was hired by the Washington Commanders as their new head coach.

Aaron Glenn, who is currently the defensive coordinator for the Lions, will not be leaving for Washington now that he has been hired. Glenn had a second interview this week, this time in person, and was one of several finalists for the job.

The Commanders weren’t just interested in Glenn, who was an assistant coach for the Lions.

Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, took his name out of the running earlier this week whereas the Commanders were on their way to Detroit for another interview.

Once more, the Washington Commanders have hired a defensive-minded coach to help them get back on track.

Washington hasn’t had a consistent winner in a very long time. Dan Quinn is the latest coach to try to change that.

He takes over for Ron Rivera, who was fired after four years. Rivera was hired by the previous owner, Dan Snyder, using a management style that focused on the coach.

Quinn was hired by new owner Josh Harris, but general manager Adam Peters is in charge of making all football decisions.

The Commanders possess keyholes to fill, though, so Quinn will have to do a lot of heavy lifting.

There’s reason to think that things will go better this time, but some of the roster problems that have been going on for years haven’t gone away.

Commander reporter John Keim takes a closer look and answers three big questions about hiring Quinn, such as what will happen next.

Newspaper reporter Dan Graziano talks about what he knows about the hire, and draft expert Jordan Reid ties it all together with the draft. Last but not least, front office observer Mike Tannenbaum gives the hire a grade.
