Dan Quinn is betting on youth to help the Washington Commanders' offense improve next season. Promoting three in-house coaches to bigger roles is a significant risk. Skepticism from fans and analysts was no doubt expected, but there is genuine conviction behind the moves heading into a pivotal offseason.
Kliff Kingsbury didn't agree with how Quinn wanted to take the offense forward, and he was let go. Bobby Johnson, who masterminded some outstanding growth from the offensive line, was also deemed surplus to requirements. There were no new faces, with David Blough, Darnell Stapleton, and Shane Toub having their respective responsibilities elevated instead.
