Jordan Schultz on the Washington Commanders rift with Kliff Kingsbury:
“Sources: Part of the issue the #Commanders have had in the building is the front office meddling with the coaching staff on personnel and which players to use — an ongoing problem dating back to 2024 when they were having success.
With the team struggling this year, it reached new heights and there were notable disagreements. Moreover, I have not gotten the impression Dan Quinn wanted to move on from his coordinators. The entire disconnect is one to watch as we head into 2026. “There’s a lot of shit going on there,” a source said.”
Jordan Schultz on QB Jayden Daniels reaction to Kliff Kingsbury’s firing:
“Sources: My understanding is that key #Commanders offensive players, including QB Jayden Daniels, are disappointed with the team’s decision to part ways with OC Kliff Kingsbury. Daniels vouched for him to stay in his presser on Monday and was among those blindsided by the move. Offensive players on the team figured the only way Kingsbury would be gone is if he got a HC job.”

Yes
NO!
Good!
I agree with a more Traditional Play-Acton Offense !
JD5 will Kill it !
No
No not enough proof he can win defensively.he needs talent commanders have no talent.so how can he be better with us and couldn't work magic with same bad talent in raider land?
RG3 2.0
Harris made a huge mistake in hiring Adam Peters. Harris should have cleaned house and start without a basketball search committee.
Adam Peters tried the older and slower but that didn’t work? That’s next level crazy. Older and slower always works at the NFL level. Especially on defense.
The best QB's can play Under the Center or Shotgun or Pistol. Mix it up. JD5 has to learn to mix it up. Every damn Defense knows our offense…. There has to be CHANGES for you to improve. GTFO your Comfort zone. Damn….You don't think EVERY team knows we like Shotgun by now? Why the hell do you guys bring the very same things I bring up weeks ago. I even brought this up last season. Why doesn't he mix it up and play under the Center? Because he's too frail and doesn't want to get near the defense? Dude…
Harris receives an F and should fire himself. Ben Johnson, Cooper DeJean and Drake Maye.
If Jayden was under the Center…he wouldn't have FUMBLED the ball handing it off to BILL during the BEARS game that lost us the game. YOU CANNOT…RUN IN FOR 4TH AND 1 IN SHOTGUN POSITION!!!…THAT'S 1 EXTRA SECOND TOO LONG FOR BILL TO RUN IN before the Defense STOPS HIM. My friend talks to JMU coaching staff a lot. We talked about this…
All last season in 2024 and this 2025 season, Jayden was in SHOTGUN position EVERY PLAY!!! It doesn't take an EINSTEIN from the other team to figure something out. THEY"RE trying to incorporate more of a Shanahan Offense and play under the Center more. We're too unpredictable… Something has to change. Jayden needs to get out of his comfort zone and get used to crouching behind a Center. You can't run the ball EVERYTIME and hand it off to your Runningback in Pistol or Shotgun mode. It's sooo predictable now. 2024 we snuck up on TEAMS. 2025, they have game film on JD5…Hmm…..HMMM!!!!!!!….HE'S ALWAYS IN SHOTGUN POSITION..HMMM…GEE WHIZ…
Makes so much sense. Let the Head Coach manage the football games. Upper management should worry about the rest. Micromanagement if I didn't say so myself.
The constant running up the middle did me in. Our guards and center got zero penetration all year to get a back up field. It was painful to watch. Kliff decision making had me head scratching all year.
I just saw the list of teams possible Head coaches, Kliff's name is not on any list
They were bottom half to bottom quarter in nearly every offensive category in 24-25. Not good at all. Stop covering for Kingsbury, he needed to go.
Jayden has always played from the shotgun/piston, throughout his college and professional career. Playing under center requires having to learn and master new skills–different footwork, different timing and different vision & processing of the field. If they want to operate a lot more under center, they drafted the wrong QB!
If the report that the players were blindsided, is true, including JD, who cares? You don't pander to players including QBs. Kliff on camera told reporters one of the reasons he uses so little under center plays for JD is bc JD prefers that. Will all due respect, too bad. Put JD under center, which it appears is going to happen, and I believe, if he's as great as we think he can be, he'll pick apart defenses in that style offense.
If Harbaugh gets the Giants HC job, we will be NFCE bottom feeders for the foreseeable future. We have battled with the Giants for that spot for a few years. It’s another negative factor against us being a consistent contender for the next 5 years plus.
