Commanders promote David Blough to offensive coordinator

The Washington Commanders have promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator. Previously serving as the team's assistant quarterbacks coach for the past two seasons, Blough steps into the role following the firing of Kliff Kingsbury, who had support from quarterback Jayden Daniels. Blough, a former backup quarterback for the Detroit Lions, transitioned to coaching with the Commanders after his playing career ended in 2023. The Commanders also made several coaching changes, including the departure of quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard to Stanford University and the firings of defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson. Additionally, the team considered Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells and Cardinals passing game coordinator Drew Terrell for the coordinator position.
