Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)

there was two hires last night

this line in the article made me chuckle

Eric Bieniemy, who has one year left on his contract, served as the Commanders' offensive coordinator this past season.

I love for them to keep EB and he just roams around the facility doing nothing with his giant bowling ball head

I like this move. 50/50 on Kingsbury but we'll see.

Don't know anything about this guy but the fact that Quinn brought him in is good enough for me. I'm excited to see what our defense looks like! I'm hoping that Quinn/Whitt's defense will match Gregg Williams' level when he was our DC - that time was probably the last time we had a great defense since.

Like the hire. Really hope Al Harris is next to come on this staff. He said he would follow Quinn, so we'll see.

I'd be happy with Al Harris as our secondary coach.

This hire makes total sense. He has been successful and he knows Quinn's system. This decision probably didn't take much thought from Quinn. Awesome for Whitt to get his chance.

Rivera won't be fielding the defensive roster and the coaching is a clear upgrade, defense should be at least decent next year. Which is a big upgrade from fresh dog-shit on your shoe like 2023.

he comes from a family of great football minds too . . .

Seems like a solid hire. I'd imagine DQ will be heavily involved with the defensive side.

I'm mildly surprised to hear Whitt is gonna be playcaller too. Goes to show the trust DQ has in his guys. Hope this is the last time we need new coordinators for a while.
