Dan Quinn, new coach of the Commanders, focused on creating a supportive ecosystem for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels during his offseason planning. Quinn learned from his previous experience with the Falcons about the importance of retaining a capable coaching staff to maintain success. During his interview with team owner Josh Harris and general manager Adam Peters, he stressed the need for a deep coaching staff to avoid losing talent, ensuring continuity and growth. Key hires included Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator and Brian Johnson as pass game coordinator.
"We needed to create an ecosystem," Quinn said when asked about how to break in a rookie quarterback. "And it started, really, with the staff."
"So you had this brain drain," Peters said. "But you've got to understand you've got to have somebody next. That was one of the things that, in his interview, he talked to me about -- building a deep coaching staff and having the next guy and the next guy, anticipating success."
