Finally official
There has been a lot of news about the Washington Commanders new coaching staff, but the only official hires before today were head coach Dan Quinn, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. Washington announced the hiring of special teams coordinator Larry Izzo this morning, and then released their list of the new and returning coaches on Quinn’s staff. Most of these names have been reported and covered here in our continuing coverage of Washington’s front office and coaching changes.
Quinn only retained three coaches from Ron Rivera’s staff(QB coach Tavita Pritchard, WRs coach Bobby Engram, assistant LBs coach Ryan Kerrigan). The coordinators are the big names, but Washington also another former head coach that brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the team. Anthony Lynn was poached from the 49ers to be the Commanders run game coordinator/RBs coach, and will work closely with new OL coach Bobby Johnson.
Former Philadelphia Eagles QB coach/OC Brian Johnson’s title wasn’t reported, but he was expected to be the team’s offensive pass game coordinator. Dan Quinn gave him that title, along with the role of assistant head coach.
The pieces are coming together
