The Commanders Got Their Dan

Dan Quinn is your new Washington Commanders head coach.

The news seems to be being received with a collective…”meh.”

This hiring cycle may have been the greatest collection of candidate pools we’ll ever see: Bill Belichick, John Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel, Vic Fangio, and of course…Josh McDaniels.

The Commanders seemed to have been a lock for the highly-coveted Ben Johnson, who decided he’d rather remain in Detroit than lead the Commies. Thus, a retread head coach who did make a Super Bowl…and that’s all we’ll say about that.

So, a bit of a let down for Commander fans. Going from one of the hottest candidates in the game to Dan Quinn.

This is flat out a rough look for a franchise who was trying to start fresh with a new ownership group. Tough not hiring Cain and settling for Abel; giving the head job to Ron Harper when you almost had Michael Jordan; bringing in blue cheese when you could’ve had ranch…it just doesn’t feel completely right.
