# 2023 Washington Commanders season

The 2023 season was the Washington Commanders' 92nd season in the National Football League (NFL) and their fourth and final under head coach Ron Rivera. It was the first season under owner Josh Harris, who headed a group in the offseason that bought the franchise from Daniel Snyder for $6.05 billion.
The team replaced offensive coordinator Scott Turner, who joined the team in 2020, with former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who was also named assistant head coach. Defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer were fired following a 45–10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Despite a 2–0 start for the first time since 2011, the Commanders finished 4–13, failing to improve upon their 2022 record of 8–8–1. The team allowed the most points in the league (518) and had the worst point differential (−189). They also allowed 30 points per game on average, their worst since the 1954 season. It was the Commanders' seventh straight non-winning season and third straight missing the playoffs, with the team also going winless in the division for the first time since 2019 and for the third time since 2009. Rivera and his staff were fired following the season's end.

## Ownership change

Daniel Snyder, whose ownership had been mired in controversy amid a lack of on-field success since buying the franchise in 1999, sold the team to a group headed by Josh Harris, co-founder of Apollo Global Management and owner of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils, for $6.05 billion. The group has 20 limited partners worth a combined $100 billion, the most in the NFL, which includes Danaher and Glenstone founder Mitchell Rales, Hall of Fame basketball player Magic Johnson, 76ers and Devils co-owner David Blitzer, D.C. entrepreneur Mark Ein, Maverick Capital founder Lee Ainslie, former Magic Johnson Enterprises president Eric Holoman, Blue Owl Capital founders Marc Lipschultz and Doug Ostrover, the Santo Domingo family, ProShares founder Michael Sapir, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Cambridge Information Group CEO Andy Snyder. The deal was the highest price ever paid for a sports team and was unanimously approved by the NFL on July 20, 2023.
