The Washington Commanders' two most important staff openings have been filled, with David Blough and Daronte Jones selected as Dan Quinn's coordinators for the 2026 NFL season.
Neither of them has ever coordinated at the NFL level before. It's a major risk for Washington, especially with Quinn himself in a make-or-break year. If the Commanders struggle again in 2026, it will likely be his last season as the head coach.
At the same time, patience will be key.
Washington will likely be entering the campaign with a significantly overhauled roster. Expectations will be lower than they were in 2025.
