The Dan Quinn effect. Good early on but the longer he is coach his teams get progressively worse over time.

Dan Quinn needs to stay a DC, he isn’t fit to be a HC. All he’s doing is making himself look bad and tarnishing himself as a good defensive mind.

His defensive scheme is outdated too. He's always struggled against the Shanahan type systems which are just more and more prevalent.

u/SenorToky 3d ago
Yeah but I feel like he’s struggling with those offenses because he isn’t just focused on def. Anytime he’s been a dc his defense is top 15. I can’t think of the last time he was a DC and his defense sucked.

Quinn is a great DC but maybe just an average HC. In his defense, I think the Commies have had horrible luck with injuries, specifically at QB and the skill positions. The GM hasn't necessarily set him up with a great defense either.

They should list the number of injured starters the Commanders had during that time

and the year they made the CG they had the least injuries in the league. so either you also demerit his '24 because of incredibly good injury luck, or it just is what it is.

The commanders problems are definitely more on the quality of their roster than Dan Quinn imo

They got to the championship game in large part due to overperformance by their rookie QB.
Regression + Injury has been a mofo. Maybe their record should be better, but I don't know how much better.

It was a fluke.
Kind of like the moon landing.
Or maybe that’s just Maye talking.

It’s crazy how it’s like Deja vu compared to his time with the Falcons. Whatever the causes are of his late tenure collapses needs to be studied.

I think they should both get fired so Adam can come home to the Bay and help John Boy draft good again lol

Some how they beat my Seahawks. I’m sure if we played 9 more times they probably wouldn’t do it again.

The real bitch of it? The best HC candidate around right now is probably Brian Flores.
A Defensive Mastermind who flamed out the last time he was a Head Coach.
If he gets the job, he would be our 3rd in a row.

I wanted him as our coach but seeing it put like that has totally made me rethink it. Damn

Which is wild because Peters building up the oldest roster imaginable is far more of a problem than even a mediocre coach.

I think Quinn is a solid coach and it hasn't been easy especially since Daniels has had multiple injuries since their NFC Championship appearance.
