After making an internal hire at the defensive coordinator position with Greg Manusky, the Washington Redskins made an internal hire on the offensive side of the ball. The team promoted quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh to the offensive coordinator position on Sunday afternoon. Cavanaugh was long rumored to be the top candidate for the team, and the hiring made a lot of sense.
The move to hire Cavanaugh makes a lot of sense for the Redskins. He has been with the organization with the past couple of seasons, and I listed him as the team’s top option as soon as McVay left the team.
