Everything has changed around Jayden Daniels ina relatively short timeframe. His quarterbacks coach, Tavita Pritchard, left to take the head-coaching job at Stanford. The Washington Commanders also parted ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, his most trusted ally since entering the league in 2024.
Promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator helps maintain some stability around Daniels. He's got no play-calling experience and was only a position coach for a few weeks after Pritchard departed. However, head coach Dan Quinn believes he has the innovative concepts needed to get this offense trending up after a down year under difficult circumstances.
