Dan Quinn continues to put the finishing touches on his first coaching staff with the Washington Commanders.
On Monday, the Commanders added three coaches, and on Tuesday, they hired David Raih as their tight ends coach. Raih, 43, was a senior offensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season.
Raih is the first Washington assistant thus far with experience working with new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. Raih’s first full-time coaching job came in 2013 with Kingsbury at Texas Tech as the assistant quarterback coach and outside receivers coach. Kingsbury was in his first season as head coach of Texas Tech.
Commanders hired former Buccaneers assistant coach David Raih as their tight ends coach, reuniting him with Kliff Kingsbury, whom he worked with in Arizona.

Raih, who played collegiately at Iowa, moved to the NFL with the Green Bay Packers in 2014. He spent five years with the Packers, working with the wide receivers and offensive line.
In 2019, Raih went to Arizona, reuniting with Kingsbury as his wide receivers coach for two seasons. In 2021, Raih returned to the college game, landing with Vanderbilt as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach.
He resigned after one year at Vanderbilt before joining Tampa Bay in 2023.
The Commanders will look to upgrade the tight end position this offseason.
