Dan Quinn, former defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, has been appointed as the new head coach for the Washington Commanders. This development ends the speculation of Ron Rivera, former head coach of the Commanders, potentially replacing Quinn at the Cowboys. Rivera had been considered for the job due to his extensive history in the NFL and experience as a head coach. The Washington Commanders have recently undergone changes to their ownership and general management, and have selected California Bears quarterback Bryce Young with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
