The Commanders are promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.
Blough spent the last two seasons as the team’s assistant quarterbacks coach.
The Lions had expressed interest in Blough, who served as Detroit’s backup quarterback for four seasons. He played under Ben Johnson, Kevin O’Connell and Cliff Kingsbury.
After finishing his playing career in 2023, Blough immediately moved into coaching with the Commanders.
He replaces Kingsbury, whom the team fired despite the support of quarterback Jayden Daniels.
The Commanders had already lost quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard, who left during the season to become head coach at Stanford University.
The team also fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson.
The Commanders also interviewed Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells and Cardinals passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach Drew Terrell for the position.
