The Washington Commanders are hoping for more success next year and are wasting no time this offseason in making some moves to prepare for the 2024 season.
The San Francisco 49ers just lost in the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and offseason began with the end of that game.
The Commanders have already made a big hire from the 49ers staff, as Anthony Lynn comes to Washington to become the game coordinator.
This is a huge asset for commanders. Anthony Lynn had a lot of success with the 49ers and their running game obviously did very well while he was with the team.
He had the privilege of working with Christian McCaffrey, perhaps the best running back in the league, and he will look to replicate the success he experienced in San Francisco in his new position with the Commanders.
“Big move for Washington: Commanders hire 49ers assistant head coach Anthony Lynn as running game coordinator, league source says,” Adam Schefter said in a tweet. “The commanders attacked Lynn last year, but this year they got him. Here’s one reason why: Lynn is close to HC Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters.
The Commanders finished 4-13 last season and were in last place in the NFC East. This team didn’t even seem close to being a playoff contender, but they made a lot of big moves this offseason to get there.
Dan Quinn is the new coach after things didn’t work out with Ron Rivera in Washington, and obviously hiring Anthony Lynn is a great move too.
The next step for the Commanders is to get the right guys into the NFL Draft, just a few months away. Next season will be intriguing in Washington.
