Overview
- Washington elevated the 30-year-old assistant quarterbacks coach to play-caller, marking Blough’s first coordinator role after stepping in as interim QBs coach late in 2025.
- The team moved quickly as the Lions showed real interest in Blough for their vacant OC job, according to multiple reports.
- Before finalizing Blough, Washington interviewed Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells and Cardinals passing game coordinator/WRs coach Drew Terrell.
- Kingsbury and the Commanders mutually parted ways earlier this week after reported differences with Quinn over run-pass balance and quarterback usage; Kingsbury has head-coach interviews with the Ravens and Titans.
- Quinn is reshaping the staff following a 5-12 season marred by Jayden Daniels’ injuries, with defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. also out after the unit’s struggles.
