QUINN’S DAILY TEAM meetings are an event in Washington.
The uber-positive, ultra-personable first-year Commanders coach who’s as recognizable for his backward cap as his dominating defenses enters the room with music blaring from a speaker in front of the room. The 15-20 minutes that follow are a fast-paced mixture of connection, information, inspiration and, oftentimes, laughs for players and coaches alike.
In the spirit of collaboration, Quinn typically doesn’t do all of the talking. He will often have his assistants present to the team — which is a rarity in the NFL. One week, quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard presented cutups of plays, another week it was special teams coach Larry Izzo.
