Dan Quinn, the head coach of the Washington Commanders, has experienced a rollercoaster journey since taking the helm. After an impressive 12-5 record and an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2024, the team faced a setback in 2025, finishing with a disappointing 5-12 record. Quinn's overall coaching record now stands at 17-17 during the regular season, with a 2-1 playoff record. Recently, he was ranked No. 20 among all NFL head coaches by NBC Sports. Despite the challenges, Quinn has made proactive changes for the upcoming 2026 season, including promoting David Blough from assistant quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator. This move was crucial as Blough was sought after by other teams. However, Quinn's defensive unit has struggled, leading to the firing of defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. The upcoming season will be pivotal for Quinn as he seeks to regain momentum and improve the Commanders' performance.
