What's next for Dan Quinn?
At the end of the first half of Monday night's game, with the Commanders down 20-3 and coach Dan Quinn going viral based on a lip-reading clip that was being widely interpreted as him not realizing it was fourth down (after a failed fourth-down play), it looked like Quinn was on track to get fired after the game.
Early in Monday night's game, the Commanders were trailing 20-3 against the Buccaneers, and coach Dan Quinn found himself at the center of controversy after a viral clip went viral, seemingly showing him misunderstanding it was fourth down following a failed attempt. However, the second half of the match saw a resurgence from the Commanders, leading to a more acceptable result of 23-17.
This performance provided a lifeline for the team, prompting owner Josh Harris to deliberate on whether to keep Quinn or not. Though the team currently stands at 1-4-1, the Commanders still hold the position in their division, which remains attainable with a turnaround in form. The possibility of an interim hire could serve as a jolt to the team, potentially leading them to an NFC East championship title.
Harris is expected to have a decision to make shortly, with a brief respite between the Week 10 Thursday night match against the Giants and the Week 11 Monday night showdown against the Bengals, during which the team will face the Eagles, Rams, and Giants.
