"The Washington Commanders sent shockwaves through the NFL by promoting David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator. Until late in the 2025 season, he was the team's assistant quarterbacks coach. It's a major risk for Dan Quinn to take a chance on someone as inexperienced as Blough, especially when he can't afford for the decision to backfire. But there's also reason to believe it could pay major dividends."
"A big part of the reason Washington wanted to go the in-house route with Blough was that it gives Jayden Daniels a voice in his ear he's already familiar with. The star signal-caller was blindsided by the decision to move on from Kingsbury, and the Commanders can't make him unhappy. Whether Daniels likes him or not is irrelevant. What matters is that Blough is the right guy for the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year,"
The Washington Commanders promoted David Blough from assistant quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, replacing Kliff Kingsbury. The move is a risky in-house promotion that relies on Blough's existing relationship with Jayden Daniels. Blough must help change the narrative around Daniels entering his third NFL season after a spectacular rookie year and a sophomore campaign with concerns about durability, field vision and diminished offensive support. Washington's receivers struggled to create separation and protection issues forced Daniels to overextend. Daniels cannot carry the team alone. Blough's task is to simplify the offense and recreate conditions that allowed Daniels to succeed as a rookie.
