"A multitude of factors, most notably age and injuries, have turned a promising start into a 3-5 record at the midway point of the year, and the road doesn't get any easier. Washington will be the underdog in its next two games. If the bleeding can't stop after that, things could get ugly. It is not yet at the point where head coach Dan Quinn's job status is in jeopardy."
"Dan Quinn must find the right answers to ongoing 2025 season turbulence Quinn was brought to Washington to change the culture first and foremost, and with coaches like him, there's always a tricky dilemma. He can get you out of a rough spot, as he did in 2024. But can he continue to build upon that and navigate the Commanders to sustained success?"
"It will depend on a few factors, the biggest of which is having the right people around him. Cracks have been exposed in the schemes of both offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and, especially, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. this season. Neither of them should be counting on being back in Washington next year. Their positions are expendable. Quinn can't make the mistake of being too loyal."
The Commanders sit at 3-5 at the midpoint of the 2025 season after age and injuries eroded a promising start. Upcoming games project Washington as the underdog and could worsen the record if issues continue. Dan Quinn's job is not immediately at risk because of his 2024 turnaround, but he must adjust personnel and schemes to secure a long-term future. Cracks in the offensive and especially defensive schemes have exposed coordinators Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. as vulnerable. Both coordinators are described as expendable, and Quinn must avoid misplaced loyalty. The team needs steadier leadership through adversity.
