ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders moved quickly to fill their offensive coordinator position, hiring former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, multiple sources told ESPN on Sunday night.

But the Commanders weren't finished, adding Joe Whitt Jr. as their defensive coordinator, according to sources.

They're the first big moves by new coach Dan Quinn, who has coached defense throughout his career. Kingsbury had been close to joining the Las Vegas Raiders as their offensive coordinator until contract talks broke down on Saturday.
