Overview
- Washington announced the promotion Saturday, advancing Blough from assistant quarterbacks coach after he finished 2025 as the interim in that role.
- Detroit had shown interest in Blough for its offensive coordinator vacancy, while Washington also interviewed Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells and Cardinals pass-game coordinator Drew Terrell.
- The move comes days after the team and Kliff Kingsbury parted ways following a 5-12 season in which the offense ranked 22nd in points and yards.
- Blough, a former NFL quarterback with the Lions and Cardinals, is 30 and steps into his first offensive coordinator job with limited coaching experience.
- Washington still must fill other vacancies, including defensive coordinator, offensive line coach, and quarterbacks coach.
