Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell has often been referenced as a potential long-term coaching option in the future.
It’s not anything he’s done to this point, to warrant the interest, but instead the context: O’Connell is a young, up-and-coming offensive mind, much like former Redskins coaches Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Matt LaFleur were before they earned head coaching jobs. O’Connell also has a good background for the position, with previous stints at New England with Bill Belichick, and at San Francisco, with current Ohio State Buckeyes coach Ryan Day. He could be the coach to develop Dwayne Haskins.
