Overview
- Washington chose the in-house candidate after interviewing Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells and Cardinals pass-game coordinator Drew Terrell for the vacancy.
- The move follows a split with Kliff Kingsbury earlier in the week after a 5-12 season in which the offense fell to 22nd in points and yards.
- Interest from other teams, notably the Lions for their OC opening, accelerated Washington’s decision to keep Blough.
- Blough joined the staff in 2024, finished 2025 as interim quarterbacks coach after Tavita Pritchard left for Stanford, and has worked closely with Jayden Daniels.
- Head coach Dan Quinn still has key staff openings to fill, including defensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
