"Daronte Jones decided that he had no use for Ryan Kerrigan on his defensive staff. His status in Washington Commanders folklore will always be remembered fondly as a player and coach, but this scenario was always likely under a new regime. Kerrigan survived when head coach Dan Quinn replaced Ron Rivera. The assistant linebackers coach and pass-rush specialist wasn't as fortunate when Jones took charge, and his illustrious stint with the franchise has now come to an end."
"JP Finlay of NBC Sports and 106.7 The Fan summed up Kerrigan's departure pretty well. "It feels different because [Ryan] Kerrigan has such a significant football history here. I don't think this should be an up-in-arms situation. That's not to say it won't be. I don't think fans should be upset. This is about football. I don't think this changes Ryan's legacy or role with the organization.""
Daronte Jones removed Ryan Kerrigan from the Washington Commanders' defensive staff, ending Kerrigan's lengthy and celebrated association with the franchise. Kerrigan had previously survived a staffing change when Dan Quinn replaced Ron Rivera but was let go under the new regime. Some fans reacted with dismay, reflecting Kerrigan's strong legacy as a player and coach. The team’s inconsistent ability to generate quarterback pressure contributed to the decision. Jones sought fresh coaching ideas and reportedly is looking for someone to oversee the defensive front seven. The move was presented as a football-driven personnel change that does not erase Kerrigan's legacy.
