The Washington Commanders are hiring Dan Quinn as their new head coach.

It means all 32 head coaching roles in the NFL are now filled after a busy few weeks of hiring and firing. 

Quinn had served as the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys since 2021 but will now go up against his former team twice next season.

He was previously a head coach with the Atlanta Falcons and took them to the Super Bowl.

However, they blew a 28-3 lead – the largest in Super Bowl history – to lose 32-28 to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in Houston in 2017.

Quinn became Washington’s choice after Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, considered a top candidate, told teams Tuesday he was staying with Detroit and the Seahawks hired Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald.

Controlling owner Josh Harris, new general manager and head of football operations Adam Peters and Quinn give the organization a much-desired new approach after four years of Ron Rivera in charge turned out to be a disappointment.

Harris was committed to splitting the personnel and coaching duties this time around.

Hiring Quinn means there are a number of high-profile head coaches set to start next season without a job. 

Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, Mike Vrabel, Aaron Glenn, Anthony Weaver, Eric Bieniemy, Ejiro Evero and Mike Kafka were all overlooked for jobs.
