Quinn to the Commanders

Well that's it.
All HC positions are filled.

Good choice for them. And I'm VERY glad we didn't go with Quinn. Good for him finding a HC gig.

Great that DQ is getting another opportunity. I think he will have more success this time around. While his tenure in Atlanta didn't end well, he still has a 43-42 win record and did take that team to the SB.

Side note: What's funny is no one wants Bill Belichick.

I'm glad DQ got another opportunity. I feel bad that he got so much negativity from the 12's ( myself included) when he was mentioned as a likely candidate for us. He was the DC for our dominating SB winning team and I will always be grateful for that. However, he was also on the wrong end of 2 VERY BAD SBs in which his defenses couldn't hold the lead. While he was good overall with Dallas, they stiill struggled against top offenses. But that Packers playoff loss was the final nail in the coffin for his return here. It was like watching the Hawks the last few years under KNJ and Hurtt. DQ seems like a great guy, but we really needed a clean break from the past.

The difference in the reactions from teams coaches are leaving is also interesting.
It seems like every Raven fan is sad or mad about losing Macdonald.
I've not heard anything but celebration from Cowboys fans so far about Quinn leaving.

I, too, am very relieved that we didn't hire him.

Quinn will take with him a very deep knowledge of the Cowboys, which I'm sure is one of the reasons why the Commanders hired him.

Imagine being a Commies fan?
First of all, you're called the Washington Football Team for years and then pick the Commies as your name.
Second, you finally get rid of that jackass owner - With the promise of sunny days ahead - only to hire Dan friggan Quinn?

Thank you, JS.
Thank you.

What's so funny Freak? He didn't hire Quinn. Great move.

Haha. Just that you were thanking JS for not hiring Quinn.
It was a great move.

It is much more pleasant around here today. I can't imagine the freak out level if Quinn would have been hired

Or just lack of enthusiasm - I admit I was teetering and I’ve been begging for Mad mike from day one once Pete stepped down.

It has rejuvenated my interest to say the least. Mad mike in the lab doing mad scientist things has me jacked n pumped

Apparently, the taint of Dan Snyder hasn't completely left the building. May take a while.

Also with the head coach hires. Washington fans were pretty sure they were getting Ben Johnson and and had to settle for Quinn. I think many of us thought there was a good chance we'd be settling for Quinn at some point and instead got Macdonald.
