Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

I'm assuming an older HC is going to hire older coordinators. This move is a bummer to me.

I hope I'm dead wrong about him but I'm not very optimistic at this moment.

Not necessarily, he had Kyle Shanahan as OC in ATL

We just hired Rivera 2.0. So fucking lame.

Note - Wikipedia is wicked fast. His page is already updated.

I think you are more right than wrong. If Wash builds itself as a defense first team they just wont be successful. The OC hire is everything now. In today's NFL teams need a great O and a good D, not the other was around.

Really?

Is Quinn going to be saddled with a carryover QB by the owner the way Snyder forced Haskins on Ron? Is Harris going to force a Carson Wentz-type QB on Quinn? Is Quinn going to be dealing with an owner that is being accused of fraud and sexual harrassment, and who is gutting the team of money?

I'm sorry but when people say comments like this, you are disregarding how much Snyder's terrible ownership killed any chances of success for anyone.

This is not happening now.

😀😀😀😀.. third choice reach that 2 weeks ago the vast majority on here hated the thought . I criticized the way this has been handled and stand by it ! Would have liked it if they had said Quinn is our guy and went and got him weeks ago .. you guys don't see this as a desperate move ?? Spin it any way you like this is not what this team needed ..we shall see won't we .SMH. I'm not cutting this new ownership any slack !!

It’s not Rivera 2.0, he’s not going to be making personnel/roster decisions and juggling a million things at once.

I’m giving benefit of the doubt to Adam Peters. He knows a hell of a lot more than we do.


Exactly.

Though, Peters didn’t have a ton of options. Peters settled here. Im ok with it. If Quinn fails move on. Coaches are different than committing to players. Let’s get to that draft and let’s get to FA. No more Mr Bungle decimating our roster and picking based on position flex. Go get some game changers Peters.

Rik, what did we handle wrong? Were we supposed to hold BJ’s wife ransom until he signed? Seriously I understand the disappointment in how things unfolded, but not the criticism of how anything was handled.

Your upset because Peters didn’t just say “aww hell lets just ignore everyone and go get Quinn because he will take the job”. That’s crazy. You have your list and you start at the top. Again to be upset at the results is understandable but to be upset with the process is not.
By your logic you just take the fat chick without trying for the hot chick first? Lol.

I think you are correct about him not being the first choice. I feel that Johnson saying no blindsided them and they had to regroup and find someone else.

If you paid attention to people in the know Quinn was being highly praised right from the jump. Perhaps everyone was blinded by the Ben Johnson talk but if you read the tea leaves Quinn was very much in play all along.

Interesting connection here…

@reshmanuel
One thing about Dan Quinn. He was hired in Atlanta by Thomas Dimitroff.

Dimitroff and #Commanders GM Adam Peters spent several years together in New England as scouts

About as mediocre of a hire as you can get.
Settling for a HC is not something I'm happy with.

Will he be better than Rivera, yes.
Is he dependent on coordinators? Yes.
We will be only as good as his OC.

Well I won't hide my disappointment, he was my 3rd choice. But I'm not in a panic as so any fans are. He had HC experience and that counts a lot, he was a few bad play calls from being a Super Bowl winning head coach.
