Tyler’s Take: Who could replace Dan Quinn as Washington Commanders head coach?

With Dan Quinn’s tenure as Washington Commanders head coach effectively over, the team’s ownership and front office are already eyeing potential successors. The search for a new leader will likely begin in earnest after the season, assuming the Commanders fail to secure a playoff win.

Among the top candidates for the role are several young offensive coordinators who have drawn attention for their innovative approaches and rapid rise in the NFL. Klay Kubiak, currently the 49ers’ offensive coordinator, has been praised for his significant influence on game plans and real-time adjustments, even under Kyle Shanahan’s play-calling system.

At just 30, Grant Udinski—who helped elevate Trevor Lawrence’s play in Jacksonville—has also emerged as a standout, with his offensive mind already sparking head-coaching interest. Declan Doyle, Baltimore’s offensive architect, has quickly turned the Ravens into a top-five unit after joining from Chicago, where he worked closely with Ben Johnson.

Meanwhile, Mike McDaniel, despite early struggles in Los Angeles, remains a name with offensive genius credentials, having previously thrived in Miami under challenging conditions. Nate Scheelhaase, still developing under Sean McVay with the Rams, could also be a long-term contender if given another season to refine his system.
