Episode Synopsis

Lynnell returns to Burgundy and Gold Today and dives into the biggest question coming out of the Commanders’ improved defensive performance: Should Dan Quinn continue calling the defensive plays, or is it time to bring in a new defensive coordinator for 2026? With the unit clearly responding to Quinn’s voice over Joe Whitt Jr.’s, Lynnell debates whether the head coach should keep the reins or hand them off. He also reacts to ESPN’s John Keim, who said on The Sports Junkies that Quinn likely doesn’t want to call plays long-term and would prefer to hire a dedicated defensive coordinator next season. Lynnell opens the conversation up to listeners: What’s the best move for Washington’s future?
