Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images | Geoff Burke-Imagn ImagesMore changes are on the way for the Washington Commanders coaching staff. They changed offensive and defensive coordinators and now we're seeing moves to update the assistants from last season. DBs coach/defensive pass game coordinator Jason Simmons joined the Steelers, and assistant head coach/offensive pass game coordinator Brian Johnson just interviewed with the Denver Broncos.
Aaron Wilson is reporting that the Commanders have let go of three more members of the coaching staff. Assistant defensive line coach Sharrif Floyd, assistant LBs coach/pass rush specialist Ryan Kerrigan, and player development coach Pete Ohnegian are out, and more changes will likely happen before OC David Blough and DC Daronte Jones finalize their staffs. Floyd and Ohnegian followed Dan Quinn to Washington from Dallas and will now look for other opportunities. Kerrigan is a former Redskins player and holds the sack record for the franchise. He was originally hired by Ron Rivera as an assistant defensive line coach in 2022, and was retained by Quinn in his current role.
