5 takeaways from Commanders’ coordinators introductory press conference

A great first day for Washington’s new coordinators.

The Washington Commanders officially announced their 2024 coaching staff Thursday, and coordinators Kliff Kingsbury (offense) and Joe Whitt Jr. (defense) met with the local media.

A hot topic for Kingsbury was the quarterback position. Kingsbury has coached quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes, Johnny Manziel, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and, yes, presumed No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams. As expected, Kingsbury didn’t reveal much on that subject.

As for Whitt, he was direct, honest, passionate and enthusiastic.

Kingsbury didn’t give any details about the current roster, while Whitt did offer some details on some of Washington’s young players.

Here are five thoughts/takeaways from Kingsbury and Whitt’s media session.
