"However, Whitt will not be removed from the staff entirely. "When something's not working, we shift from the question of why isn't it working to what do we need to do to get it right? Right now, that'll call for some change. I'll take over the role as the defensive coordinator and all that entails. Joe (Whitt)'s been my right hand man for years and took the news like a pro he is." Dan Quinn"
"This is the move fans have begged for. Quinn is a highly regarded defensive mind. His loyalty towards Whitt perhaps gave him a longer leash than most envisaged. But when moving from the booth to the sideline didn't work in Week 10, this was only going to end one way. What difference this will make is anyone's guess. Quinn's leadership should give everyone a massive morale boost, but it's also worth remembering that this unit is devoid of talent, inspiration, and everything in between."
The Washington Commanders' defense has underperformed throughout the season, with players regressing and failing to sustain last season's performance. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has been unable to compensate for defensive breakdowns. Following a disastrous game against the Detroit Lions, head coach Dan Quinn decided to assume the defensive coordinator role while retaining Joe Whitt Jr. on staff. Quinn framed the change as a shift from questioning failures to implementing fixes and expects change to be necessary. The move aims to provide leadership and morale but faces obstacles given perceived deficits in talent, inspiration, and execution across the defensive unit.
