The Washington Commanders revamped their coaching staff after the 2025 season ended. They fired offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinatorJoe Whitt and brought in David Blough and Daronte Jones to replace them, respectively, while retaining Larry Izzo as special teams coordinator. There was other coaching turnover as well, and in the midst of training camp, it seems the Commanders aren't done with hiring.

According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, Washington is hiring Nick Charlton as an offensive assistant.

Charlton began his coaching career right after graduating from Boston College. He started as a graduate assistant for the Boston College Eagles, where he worked for three years before accepting a wide receivers coaching offer from the University of Maine in 2015. He worked his way up the ranks over the next few seasons and was named head coach of the Black Bears in 2019. As Maine's offensive coordinator, the team reached the semifinals of the NCAA FCS playoffs, the farthest the team has ever gotten in its history.

After three seasons as head coach at Maine, Charlton left to join Jim Mora's inaugural staff at the University of Connecticut. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Huskies for two seasons. He left in 2024 to join the Cleveland Browns as an offensive assistant and run game specialist, and in 2025 he was the Browns' pass game specialist.

Once official, Charlton will replace Wes Welker, who is taking over as tight ends coach, and bring his years of coaching knowledge to the organization.
